This right here. Went with the Steeda package with the intercooler/X4 and it was an amazing transformation (they have a good video on YouTube). That being said, I picked up an AutoOctane tune from Gearhead since I don’t always need 93 in the winter. Very happy with SCT.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread…along with the need to replace the bolts that come with them since they are junk. You need grade 10.9 bolts in there. Cranked mine down with an impact gun and there are no leaks at all.

Have one on my Cobra - works great. Didn’t use it on my ST since I preferred the pre-formed hoses with the Mishimoto version. Probably easy enough to adapt here with a little brain power.

If you want relatively quiet while taking the stock resonator and the breaking weld issues out of play, the MRT H-pipe is the way to go. Adds a nice little rumble but has no drone and won’t annoy you or anyone at all. Easy to install as well.

Had mine installed today, although I was tempted to just store them in my garage until later in the year since I still had about 5/32” of tread on my OE Scorpions. Even though the MI winter has been mild - so far - just decided to get these mounted to avoid the hassle of hauling tires back to...

Disregard.

I sent an e-mail to Pirelli specifically asking about the warm(er) weather traction, and whether it was sacrificed at all for the better cold/snow grip. With a treadwear of 700 compared to the Zero’s 500 rating (both are ‘A’ traction for what it’s worth), I’m hoping they’ll still have a solid...

Mine came in - perfect timing after a week of snow followed by rain and 50° weather. Tentatively scheduled to have them installed later in January.

They are hose clamps - just snug them down. The three seem okay on mine, but in the end, nothing will completely stop the chicken wire from rattling a bit except removal of it altogether.

Use whatever you want - lots out there on Google, but Steeda’s video is probably the best one done so far. The Whipple instructions are good just as well It’s not a re-branded Whipple. You don’t have to use stands, but taking off just the passenger side wheel does help.

Was definitely pleasantly surprised with it, but looking forward to GH’s tweaks for comparison. Saw no need to spend a ton of money on this since the X4 was almost a freebie after the discount I received on the intercooler.

They are so new that reviews will take a while (although there may be a couple on TireRack already). Don’t see how you can go wrong with this tire, especially if you can avoid the snow-tire hassle.

Just about to load up Matt’s tune today. Worked out perfect since I bought the intercooler/X4 combo from Steeda, and even the canned 93 tune made quite the difference. Adding a custom tune now is a no-brainer, especially since I wanted to check out some of the transmission tweaks.

Looking forward to it, especially since I understand Matt does nice work with the transmission. I have zero interest in racing, so trying to wring out every tenth of a second wasn’t on my radar. Easy to keep using the X4 as well. Otherwise, I’ve really had no gripes with the canned tune, but was...

The AO tune from Gearhead has had lots of good reviews. Decided to pick it up from them even though the SCT canned 93 tune isn’t too shabby. They are also fine with towing which is something many tuners don’t recommend (and didn’t want to hassle with re-flashes every time I hooked up my boat).

They also look similar to the now-discontinued Eagle Assurance Tripletred, and Hankook Kinergy 4S2. None of them, including the Michelin’s are available in the 21” size for the ST. As much as I wanted to wait until next fall for new tires, looking forward to giving these new ones a go.

The colder plugs finally rolled in courtesy of Levittown Ford, but will probably wait until spring to make the swap. With the intercooler and canned 93 Octane tune, still a fantastic jump in performance.

Ended up having my local Sam’s order them for me since they are $40 cheaper each than Tire Rack until the end of January. Even though my OE Scorpions are at 5/32” at 30,000 miles and haven’t been terrible through the last couple winters, figured now was as good a time as any for some new tread...

For about $200 less, anyone wanting a safe - and mild - tune could simply pick up an SCT X4 and plug in their 93 version. You can always add a custom tune later, and you don’t have the ridiculous auto parking brake, and you can shut off the stop/start (saves another $100), and it’s not...

Knocked this out yesterday as my last project for ‘22. Was also a perfect time to install the black Timberline emblems.
