I called Voodoo a bit ago, just to get quotes on a Whipple IC install. I asked about this setup and they said it is available but would be built to order. So it sounds like it's available if you're here in Orange County.

Installed my Steeda sway bar a few weeks ago, amazing upgrade as everyone has said, it's a must-have for even stock STs. Anyway, not sure if anyone else experienced this same issue, but I had a nasty creaking noise when just taking off from a stop and going up driveways. But never at above...

I wouldn't expect a higher trap with the RWD. The Explorer cuts power to the front wheels at a certain speed, so there's less drag when the front wheel traction isn't needed.

Minor detail stuff today. I always disliked the mismatched hardware with the Steeda Strut Brace (new bolts in front, factory Ford bolts in rear) so I bought all titanium bolts from Acer Racing, M8x35 for the rear, M8x45 to replace the Steeda bolts, then a set of black-coated stainless steel...

Agreed. But this issue is Ford Performance is always at odds with Ford and this being just an Explorer. I know Ford has always been a little tight with the purse strings, but their last CEO, that goober from an office furniture company, really screwed them up as far as quality and vendor...

Finally got around to installing the Steeda RSB. Super easy when you can just pop the mufflers off! This one definitely passed through QC as the centering washers are perfect, there's no movement allowed side to side. My 3 year old joined me near the end. He tightened all the heat shield bolts...

I'd look at the available data: how many people have had blown engines or warranty issues due to their tune from ZFG vs how many people complained about pinging (not great for the motor) and general crappiness of the FP tune on their Coyote Mustang or any other car their turd tune was available...

Anyone still talking about a possible FP tune for this car has obviously never talked to someone who got the "awesome" FP tune for a Coyote Mustang (they pinged more than a table-tennis match) or read the 1323899231782432 threads on this forum and Facebook talking about currently available...

Ugh, tell me about it. Thankfully, where I live in Rancho Santa Margarita (southern Orange County) is pretty red. Plenty of Trump/FJB/Let's Go Brandon signs and flags out. I hope eventually this will make it's way to Sacramento. Wishful thinking...

Any hints on the parts being developed?

I have this same shudder. When off the gas and coasting at 40 or below I get a rumble or shudder. Goes away when I hit the brake pedal. This has been there since about 1000 miles and didn't change at all with the Thermal exhaust/midpipes. Anything anyone recommends checking out? It's weird...

He meant the sway bar. You, I'm guessing, meant the strut brace. Brace is wrinkle black.

This is exactly why I got the captains chairs. A 3 year old and 6 month old.

Installed the Steeda strut tower brace. No more fat, flimsy, stamped factory trash. Hopefully do the rear sway bar next week.

I actually haven't gotten the Smartliners yet. I still want to replace the WeatherTech up front, but they're ok for now. They haven't gotten any worse than the initial warp. 2nd and 3rd row are still perfect. I wish I could find rubber mats that are as awesome as the factory ones in my wife's...

What exclusivity? If Ford got a million orders for STs, they'd build them. I see at least 10 other STs per day by me. Nothing exclusive about an Explorer. Just makes sense to not bother with multiple engine calibrations, saves money on emissions testing and such. Spreading the engine out...

Mine did this after I got tint installed. Did what the video said it was all good.

Not sure if anyone was concerned, or I'm just answering my own question, but I called AFE this morning to ask about the note that they won't sell in California. He said they would absolutely sell and ship to California, and that CARB certification was in progress. And for the guys complaining...

Looks great, was ready to pre-order, then saw the note about not selling in California! They are just a few miles from my in-laws in Corona. I'll have to stop and and see if I can get it there, or have it shipped to my buddy in Scottsdale.

Haha! I wish the tune was only $26.
