Well, according to everything Pirelli has put out, they are the best of both worlds and are still going to grip well in warmer weather. I‘ll be in the same boat since I have the Steeda rear bar and just ordered the springs, so I like to push it hard. Looking forward to your thoughts on them!

Those look very promising, especially since Pirelli states they are also suited for warmer weather use. I’ll need new tires next year - probably - and will be willing to give these a shot even though I have no gripes about the OE Scorpion’s (even in the snow). Pricey for sure, though! A couple...

I put three clamps on each of my flex sections to keep the chicken-wire from rattling. Has worked fine and cost next to nothing. If they ever get worse, the flex pipes with the mesh are another inexpensive option.

Has been discussed for months already. Ford used the base model rear subframe on many ST’s, with lots of details in a long thread on here: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/rear-end-damage.2602/ The other two bolts mount vertically behind the pinion on either side.

Went with the X4 package deal - through a Steeda vendor with a discount, it was $1200. A no-brainer. Despite the critics of the SCT canned tunes, it really has a great kick and should be even better when I get around to installing the intercooler. Plus, a custom tune from any number of sources...

Mine arrived the other day - very nice, built like a tank. Definitely not a Whipple, but the instructions from them will be perfect for the install, however. On another note, the package from Steeda with an SCT tuner is a great deal, especially with some of the vendor discounts.

You are already at 45K - the warranty is useless. It’s only 3/36 and that is from the original in-service date - which has been mentioned many times. Paying retail price plus an install charge is really just throwing money away.

It should, but it won’t. Just like when you buy the Ford ESP: it starts retroactively from your new in-service date. It’s a just-the-way-they-do-it thing. I’d not even bother having a dealer fuss with it on my ‘20 since I’ll be at three years of service in just a few more months. Since this tune...

Not at all. Here’s an ‘official’ response from FP: The FPP 3/36 covers failures *directly* attributed to our parts, for 3/36 from the in-service date of the vehicle. Outside of that period, the factory warranty still applies, however *if* there is a failure that is directly attributed to our...

The FP warranty, however it complements the original Ford warranty, is from the new vehicle in-service date. For those of us with ‘20’s that are coming up on three years old (or plenty with over 36K), it really will make no difference. That being said, it’s still a great way to go if you want...

This is why it’s so easy to just buy the black PVD set from Ford Performance: same 21mm hex along with an OE look. Why hassle with having to keep an additional wrench or socket when you don’t need to. They’re only marginally more expensive than some of the aftermarket sets (paid $150 for mine...

Cutting a section of exhaust pipe is nothing. The instructions show clearly where to make the cut(s), and a reciprocating saw will go through it in just a few seconds. It took way longer to get the mufflers set in and aligned than it did to cut.

There are numerous sound clips throughout this thread. Several of us have used the stepped band clamps - mentioned many times in this thread as well. Gibson supplied those u-bolt clamps to ensure the tail pipes never separate (and probably to save some $$$), but it’s worked out well for those...

What a great deal from AutoAnything. This kit is such a score, even if you are paying $500 or slightly more. For merely a sound change, spending three or four times this is just a waste of money.

You can find the Ford Performance binders all over eBay. My ‘20 came with a generic black Ford case but the OCD I have necessitated the FP version. Thanks for the link on the clip, too - they tossed that shortly before my build and Ford doesn’t sell it separately.

You don’t need a bigger front sway bar if a drop in under-steer is desired. A larger rear bar for an IRS vehicle is perfect, hence why Steeda didn’t bother with the front bar. The larger rear one is all you need. It’s right in the owners manual…

It’s a fantastic sounding exhaust and a great bang for the buck. No drone or rattles with mine - couldn’t be happier with it. This is how the ST should have sounded from the factory and Gibson did a nice job getting the sound right without owners having to spend lots more money on a full kit...

About 10 minutes, and that was only because it was a cool morning and my finger tips were a bit chilled. No problems at all - installing one is a cinch.

Other than the slightly excessive wait, the kit looks and fit great. Very nice packaging, too. Slightly dirty engine bay, but happy with the OE look. Hope they sell very well.

Yes. Via UPS. Call them to find out if you have any questions, they are pretty friendly. That's all I did many weeks back. That e-mail you received may have been just generic.
