I see people talk about issues they have with our trucks and bring up the price and how they shouldn't be having issues with a $60-$70k truck. This is the exhaust tips on a $135k Shelby F150. I would be upset seeing tips setting that far away from the cut outs in bumper on that expensive of a truck PXL_20230424_140646988.jpg

Gross. They look even, so I wonder it any adjustment is possible. I knew I wouldn’t want to be riding around like that- it would bug me every time I thought about it.

Then there's the opposite end of the spectrum with the cheesy GM trucks exhaust tips. The tips are mounted to the bumper and not attached to the exhaust. 🤣

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. When I drive behind one, I occasionally see daylight shining through the HDMI ports.

And it's not like that's a one off truck that just wasn't adjusted right. This dealer has three Shelby F150s on the lot, they are all like that. PXL_20230424_195229266.MP.jpg

Its because they just use an aftermarket exhaust that anyone could get for these trucks, which are designed to work with the main-stream F150s which do not have the exhaust cut outs in the bumper, so they route out where below the bumper would be. But add in a bumper with the cutouts, don't move the tips up, and you get a POS result like this. Carroll Shelby must be spinning... this company is a joke.
