The Steeda version is not made by CVF, but it’s still a quality piece.

https://www.explorerst.org/threads/new-ic-from-steeda.4532/ Skipped the BDX and went to the X4. Much simpler to use and update. The canned tune is quite good, as are several from other tuners that use SCT. Great package if you want to simply just update the fun factor for a daily driver.

Just listed a new set.

Gone.

For those of us that couldn’t care less about drag racing or wringing every tenth or extra bit of power, the X4 is a great bang for the buck if you just want to up the fun factor. An intercooler and even a canned tune work wonders, and definitely not as pricey as some of the others. The Steeda...

It is plug-and-play. The harness is a jumper off the OBD port - very easy install and works great. The front camera took about 20 minutes, and I’ll run the rear whenever the weather warms up in my state.

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...
