    Borla S Type vs MBRP Armor Pro

    I wouldn't go with any "cat-back" unless it was a true cat-back and replaced the OEM flex sections. AFAIK Thermal and AFE are the only ones that make a true cat-back system. Lethal makes the midpipes as well. I have been running Thermal with FenFab catted DPs since Oct21 and absolutely love...

    Help. Whistle Sound After Intercooler Install

    it would be a louder hissing sound if you were making full boost due to more air coming out of the leak path. Check all of your connections again and make sure the fitting you install on the driver side of the Whipple has thread sealant on it and is properly tightened. Also make sure the air...

    CarPlay only half Screen. HELP!

    Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, B, A, Select then Start.....voila, full screen. Seriously though, this has been covered since the 2020 was released in 2019. With Ford moving to Android for their OS they will 99.9999999% not develop new capabilities for Sync in our...

    FenFab Intake Install Instructions

    If using the FenFab intake you will vent your BOV to atmosphere, no plug needed. There are no provisions in the FenFab intake to reroute the BOV discharge back to the intake. Are you in Middletown, OH?

    Do you remove tune when going to the Dealer for Recalls or service?

    This. Your dealer will be able to tell if your ST has been flashed. Best to be up front about it. There is no black/white answer on if a tune will void any part, or all of, your warranty. This depends not only on the dealership but also which service advisor you are working with. Also know...

    Wastegate Rattle??

    flex sections. The only remedy is to replace them with aftermarket ones, regardless of what the dealer tells you. Lethal Performance has new midpipes, or you can go full Thermal exhaust.

    De-cat tuning

    Thermal R&D is one step ahead of you. FenFab and SPD both have replacement high-flow cats as well. The FenFab parts are an absolute work of art.

    Exhaust advice

    Thermal because you will want to replace the OEM flex sections. Talk to Tyler at Lethal Performance. Thermal is a true cat-back and stainless steel construction. It sounds great, especially with FenFab downpipes!

    Limits of stock turbos HP wise

    Whipple IC and ZFG e50 tune alone has put a few ST owners in the 11s. I have run multiple 0-60 at 3.7s and 1/4mi passes at 11.8 @118mph with IC, ZFG e50, and FenFab intake/downpipes. the biggest limitation is the fuel system (injectors and HPFP). Once you do that you would want to consider...

    Steeda Vid: 0-60 mph test, Stock vs. Whipple Stage 1 Kit

    I'm all for gains and proving modifications work, as shown in the video here. However, IC and ZFG tune will get you in the low 4sec range all day long, with proven reliability and MUCH improved shifting. For someone that wants to "flash and forget" this may be a good option, depending on how...

    High flow cats Vs cattless downpipes

    The EPA has cracked down HARD on tuners over the past few years, mainly because of emission issues. Adam stopped selling his tunes for months so he could get EPA approval for his tunes, and I don't imagine that was a free process for him.

    New aFe strut tower brace

    The OEM bar is nothing more than a shelf to sit your tools and/or favorite beverage on. I took mine off about 10k miles ago when doing an oil change and never put it back on. This thing looks STOUT!

    93 Octane Gas and Top Tier

    I'm running e30 on my ZFG 93 tune, and it works perfectly. Many others do it and Adam approves of it. This is convenient for me because when I'm in town I just mix to get e30, but if I need to travel somewhere I don't have "e85 pump anxiety" and can fill with straight 93 if needed and not...

    High flow cats Vs cattless downpipes

    THIS +100000000. Not worth it to run catless. The noxious smell and terrible riceburner sound aren't worth the minimal gains, aside from the environmental issues.

    93 Octane Gas and Top Tier

    There is a major misconception with ethanol in gasoline. It is actually VERY GOOD for this Ecoboost engine. Ethanol provides evaporative cooling in the combustion, which helps prevent knock and therefore prevents the engine from pulling timing and reducing power. I would never use ethanol...

    Anyone have the Wix oil filter #?

    THATS WHAT SHE SAID, THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!!! I can't ignore a great time to quote Wayne Campbell and Michael Scott. Seriously though, the UPR drain plug is amazing. Grab a 1/2" ID flex hose to put on the end when draining and there is no mess.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    mid-10s is going to be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Hell, breaking into the 10's is expensive AF. I believe there are only 2? Theo and Kevin.....anyone else? Better put your Platinum (not ST) on a major diet and open your wallet. "Everyone has a plan until I punch them in...

    Anyone tried/have experience with MonsterTuned?

    Also, their ethanol calcs on the bottom of the page are not accurate. You don't mix 7gal of e85 in a 20gal tank to get e30. It's more like 5.3gal of e85 because your 93/91 will be e10. This is what I like to call a "Red Flag".
