    Quality Control

    Not going to go into long stories about the Chicago Assembly Plant but they were a big customer of my business for twenty years. Spent many hours there. Knowing what I know, I cannot believe I bought an ST in 22 and I cannot believe it has been really good in its first 35,643 miles. I thought...

    Not So Clean Humor and Jokes

    So in other words “I’m going to go out of my way to be a dick to people for no reason. That way I can win every argument ant prove my superiority” Grow up dude, you’re not an immature teenager anymore. It’s actually easier to be nice to others than being a total dick to others! Maybe you...

    Good clean humor and jokes

    My parents taught me that if I didn’t have something good to say about somebody then it was better to say nothing. There is little respect in forums these days. Many people are more interested in “winning” the conversation and getting the last word as opposed to respectful interaction. I think...

    2025 OEM 21" Winter Set-ups?

    On a side note, wider winter tires generally means worse traction than narrower tires. Having said that, if you like the look, go for it. I run 295/40R22 Michelin all seasons and get good traction in anything but deeper snow. We don’t get much in Chicagoland anymore. Handles 6 inches fine...

    Locking diff upgrades on ST?

    Agree completely. In order for nothing to be touching I would think you would have had to strip the ring and pinion gear and you would have a few cups of metal in the bottom of the diff. There is no way for stuff to just fall out without a big hole in the casing. Maybe he’s just really bad at...

    1.5 Year ST Owner Update

    Unfortunately there were a lot of trouble ST’s in 2020MY. Really bad new model launch. Quality seems to have improved a bit since then. Sorry about your troubles and hope you get squared away. I’ve been pretty lucky with my 2022 so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    25 ST Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

    Boy does Ford seem to have problems writing and testing their software. Seems since at least 2020 they have been using customers to beta test their new updates[emoji85] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    CVFAB downpipe w/ thermal 3 in install

    I’m the opposite. I do everything but warranty work in my garage on a quickjack. I feel fortunate I have great mechanical skills and lots of tools as I owned a tool company for decades. While I am now over 60 and could just pay to have the work done, I find it satisfying doing the work and I...

    Almost time to replace 21" Pirellis any recommendation?

    Just my 2 cents but I would stick to the manufacturer spec on wheel size for given tire size. It may be fine but there also might be some liability issues if god forbid something happens down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FenFAB oil pan initial test results.

    I just received my preorder. Impressive to say the least. Top quality welding. Stacked dimes everywhere. Installed with some raising the drivetrain a couple inches. Fit perfect, no leaks, and a quality magnetic drain plug. Nice protected sump as well. Don’t hesitate if you are considering this...

    Tuning

    IDK when somebody posted faster spooling you said he was imagining it and the stock exhaust was good to 700hp. I don’t know about others but to me it sounded like you were denying improvement with DP’s. Then again, maybe I’m just confused[emoji136] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    CVFAB downpipe w/ thermal 3 in install

    Sorry for your troubles. Can’t help much other than to say I have the SPD downpipes and 2.5 Thermal and they installed perfectly together. Good luck resolving! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    My 2020 ST started knocking 2 days ago on morning cold start.

    Here’s to hoping they took good care of you! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tuning

    I agree with this. The little bit less back pressure has to help the turbos spool faster even if only a little. True turbos and stock exhaust good for good HP but DPs definitely help. Not the best value mod for sure but they are satisfying[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Additional Tune

    Agree on pricing, I consider it reasonably cheap compared to others. My CTSV was around a grand for a dyno tune. Go European like MB, Audi, Porsche any you get into big dollar parts and tune. The remote tuning via logging is cheap and almost as good as a full dyno tunes imo. Sent from my iPad...
