    ST - Storm Trooper Build

    All good. sorry @Nbk4t5e for being involved in ANOTHER thread derailment of your build thread... I just noticed now looking at your carbon hood wrap pics, did you wrap your roof black too? I didn’t think you did the c-pillars too like I did... haven’t seen a white one with only the roof. Got...

    ST - Storm Trooper Build

    Whoa man.... hold up... maybe we got our lines crossed but thats not what I said or meant at all... I never implied that ZFG's gains were due to an emissions envelope. I said that Adam's tune is a CUSTOM tune and therefore optimized for YOUR vehicle. a canned tune needs to account for a larger...

    ST - Storm Trooper Build

    They should, but the outfits like ZFG are going to need to change up their business model a bit. Custom tunes without a dyno or exhaust pipe sniffer are going to be a thing of the past. Tuners will need to keep log files on hand for each "canned tune" demonstrating no effect on emissions (which...

    Explorer ST Exhaust Comparison

    Been reading Jason's stuff in R&T and C&D for years.... just recently stumbled upon his new short form and produced videos that he is doing for Hagerty... I am binging them and they are ALL amazing.

    Explorer ST Exhaust Comparison

    huh... on my exhaust note adventures, i found this. good listen. he touches upon the ford ecoboost towards the end.

    Explorer ST Exhaust Comparison

    In my opinion, the exhaust mfgs really shouldn't be trying to emulate a low, throaty, deep sounding V-8. embrace the V-6 man... i want THIS (see 0:45 and 1:20... no seriously... the pull at 1:20... holy balls) also see Jag F-Type S or AMG C43 for examples... sooo much potential out there for...

    Has anyone shopped for blacked out emblems?

    lots have. the outfits are going to be either the one you linked above, OEM auto art, or a vinyl overlay.

    Oil catch cans

    one more thing for the consumer to forget to empty/change/service. remember that we STILL have people running their diesels out of DEF or putting diesel in the DEF tank, putting gas in their diesel, waiting until their oil pressure light comes on to change their oil, and driving around on tires...

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    a) based on post history, this "someone" can't possibly be you ;) b) i *think* that somewhere in this thread he said that he doesn't really like that idea as you end up with a really aggressive forward bias (much like the TrackHawk). I had this same thought, but that post swayed me away from...

    Oil catch cans

    Watch this And this There is nothing here that would affect anything to do with a warranty. ANY DI engine needs a way to keep the valves from getting carbon build-up. You have 3 choices: 1) pay to have Ford pull your intake valves and clean them at 60k miles, 2) wait for the carbon to build...

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    Are you also available to help source WK2 calipers as well? Does that usually end up being the more "affordable" route or is your in-house caliper a better deal? I know that its a weird question, asking that--but what would be the pros/cons of a WK2 front kit vs your RB front kit?

    Sound deadening material

    a) look at @UNBROKEN 's thread. he has done ALOT and has links and such https://www.explorerst.org/threads/audio-system-prep-sound-deadening-project.1328/ b) I have the Borla ATAK exhaust, and I did just my spare tire well and rear tailgate with a combination of CLD and CCF, and the difference...

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    Sorry for being thick... does this mean the same thing as "fixed caliper", i.e., there is no way to run a 4-piston monoblock caliper on the rear? So we are stuck with our O.E. "floating piston" style rear calipers? I'm not sure I've ever hear the term fixed-piston but I'm also nowhere near an...

    First Snow Experience

    Seriously. The understeer exhibited by this vehicle in slushy/icy conditions is ridiculous.
