Fixed the links for you!!

3" exhaust on a 4.0l 6 cyl petrol might not be the smartest thing to do for low end torque.

what is the petrol like on fuel?
my rocky (f300) had a 60 litre tank and i would only get 400-450km per tank thats open road driving was even less round town. thats what i have to compare it to as all the other trucks i had anything to do with are diesel.

Well they weren't made for fuel economy thats for sure

. haven't had one myself but my mate had one for a couple of years and apart from servicing he done no work on it. i'd say it'd be close to the same economy as your rocky
