That start-up clatter you describe sounds like a cam phaser issue.

I added the Steeda transmission mount insert. I got it done in less than an hour. No NVH.

I went from 3" thermal (with a ripped downpipe!) to whoosh downpipes. It made it a bit louder. Perhaps too loud, but I gotta live with it now.

Do you think both could have fit near the thermal resonator? Any issues with the resonators not being symmetrically in the same location on the driver and passenger side?

Do you remember what length resonator you were able to fit? I think this section of the thermal has a clamp there.

That looks pretty good, do you have a link to the part? Which Carlinkit did you order?

This is the only one I currently have: I'm glad I got them when I did at $259. I just checked and they are $465 now.

Pros: This will keep your intake valves clean, can probably make more power than upgrading the HPFP and DI injectors Cons: You are adding a somewhat complex fuel system, the fuel controller has to be tuned for separately, there is a risk since many components of this system could potentially...

I think my tuner has these for his wife's Explorer, but sitting in his garage. He'll probably put out a video once it's installed.

This is exactly what I want to do. Did you do it yourself, or did a shop do it? The only issue I have is that I have these downpipes, and I'm not sure how I could remove the heatshielding on my own:

Are those custom midpipes, or the ones from Thermal?

You have a Thermal 2.5", right? How much difference did the bottle style resonator make?

I would love to be able to do the install myself. I think I'd just have to peel back the heat shield, mark where to cut on both the DP and the midpipe, and use butt joints. Part of me would prefer to have a shop do it, but I feel the cost will be pretty high, maybe 600+.

Ultra Quiets will be the most effective at reducing the volume and taking out some of the harsh frequencies. However, it looks like you may need to cut some of the DP and some of the midpipe to make it fit. In another thread, I saw someone install the non-ultra quiet version of the resonators...

Very nice! Did you go with the Vibrant 3" diameter that is 12" long? That would be 1794. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-1794 Do you have any sound clips? Is it quieter in the cabin now?
