    New Owner, 2022 Ford Explorer ST Forged Green Metallic

    The reason I did not go with the 3" is that I heard that it was too loud from folks on this forum. Granted, that is all subjective so I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I get zero drone whatsoever with the 2.5". It's a bit aggressive on cold start, hardly noticeable at cruising speeds and...

    New Owner, 2022 Ford Explorer ST Forged Green Metallic

    You will definitely want to change the flex pipe sections, which Borla does not replace. The OE flex pipes will drive you nuts with the rattling and Ford's TSB to fix the issue does not work. Check out the Thermal R&D 2.5" with mid pipes.

    Nasty Tire Vibration Solved

    Mine have this PNCS label on them as well. The OE tires do not mention this within the product description but if you zoom in on the tires themselves, it has this labeled.

    Nasty Tire Vibration Solved

    The OE's apparently do not have this "Noise Reduction Technology" Unless, for some reason it does not specify on the product description.

    Nasty Tire Vibration Solved

    Did you mean Scorpion Zero's? I had a bad vibration, which I was told was a bent wheel and the tire was fine after I asked them a hand full of times to check the bands on the tire to make sure they were intact. Did not know about this foam issue until seeing this thread. Really hoping that Ford...

    FS For Sale OEM Exhaust

    Unfortunately, shipping these would be a nightmare. They do not break down anywhere between the mid pipe connection to the exhaust tips. Basically a 8' by 5' box would be needed.

    New Pirelli tire

    I had P Zero's on my Infiniti QX70s and they were great. Granted, not the same platform but still on an SUV. I might give the Michelin's a shot but Pirelli is a customer of mine so I get a pretty substantial discount, which is hard to pass up.

    New Pirelli tire

    Does Pirelli make a P Zero for the ST? On their website it doesn't show the option when you plug in the year/make/model info. However, I do see 275/45R21 P Zero options out there when searching by tire size alone.

    Aftermarket Exhaust Burning Smell

    Hahaha I was thinking the same. May have to scrap it off after one of those runs while it's still melted.

    Aftermarket Exhaust Burning Smell

    Now the question is what is the easiest way to remove this?!?!

    Flex pipes rattling

    Purchased my Thermal R&D with mid pipes through you guys and absolutely love it. Best pricing out there.

    Flex pipes rattling

    Ford's flex pipe replacement does not fix the issue. They replaced mine, which remedied the issue for a couple months until it started again. Do yourself a favor and either purchase new mid pipes or flex sections that connect to the factory exhaust. Be sure to check that anything aftermarket can...

    Aftermarket Exhaust Burning Smell

    Yep, just as you suspected. Looks like I caught a grocery bag or something on the road.

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    I just read up on some info online about pad imprinting, which seems to be the case here. I would have thought that after noticing it and driving around after that it would have disappeared by now. Regarding the wheel. I asked a half dozen times if they checked the integrity of the tire itself...

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    Not too sure how that reference pertains to this but see picture above I guess?

    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    This was a weird situation to say the least. Either, I didn't realize there was a vibration at first or it was subtle and got worst over time. The craziest part is that both the repair vendor and Ford have no idea how this would have happened without a hard side impact. There was zero visible...

    Aftermarket Exhaust Burning Smell

    I just installed a Thermal R&D 2.5" exhaust with mid pipes. After driving I notice a plastic like burnt smell. Is this normal? It's been a week since the install. I checked to make sure nothing is in contact underneath and near the exhaust tips where they are close to plastic trim pieces and all...

    Corrosion Warranty

    Need to get it in soon. My 3/36 expires at the end of this month. However, I do have an additional year of the Premium Care warranty that the dealership added when I purchased the vehicle. So technically my bumper to bumper ends 4/48.
