    SLD 2022 Explorer Platinum ST

    I totally get the debadged look. For us it was more of interior upgrades, build quality, better tech and overall better handling vehicle. The s58 motor in the x3m has proven to be well equipped to handle another 200-300hp over stock with a few bolt ons. The s63 motor in the x5m is a bit more...

    Trackhawk is like an explorer with 2 rows only, durango stretches it out for that extra row. To be honest tho neither the explorer or durango 3rd row is really usable for anyone other than kids or small adults, I just found the hip room and knee room very tight. I think the best comparison for...

    Awesome, love the hellcat platform, lot of st owners are putting their head in the sand when it comes to the trackhawks and durango hellcats, truth is you can make more power more reliably with them than you can the st, hellcat motor/trans is built to be modded the st really isn't. I think we...

    Off topic but you end up going with the srt durango or the durango hellcat?

    Yeah I wouldn't go as far as saying they devalue your vehicle but they usually don't return what people think they do.

    The issue with modded cars is you narrow your potential list of buyers, so either you have to sit and be patient which most can't do or eat the cost of the mods and take a loss. Make no mistake about it if you mod the car chances are you are taking a loss in some shape or form, which is...

    Wheels/tires are an easy place to start, if you have the stock wheels and tires just return it to stock and there's definitely buyers for both sets of wheels/tires. If you don't have the stock combo just sell one set with the car and sell the other set on their own. Built as is you could...

    I guess I'll be the guy..... be more realistic with your price, I'll eat my hat if somebody buys this for 80k but this is wild man. I understand it might cost 80k to build this but mods return cents on the dollar not the whole dollar. Imo I would part out as much as you can and try to get it...

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    Many turbo 6s use 3 inch pipes, the gtr is oem 3 inch piping on a v6. Negative performance aspects might occur when the car is not designed for the exhaust and is running a stock tune. I'm not an expert on what system works best for this car but I'm sure it can pull off the 3 inch with a...

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    Does it drone? Define obnoxiously loud

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    Yeah I said that lol, but the thing is you get no drone, it's as quiet as stock under 3k rpm.

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    Recommendation is you start with the valvetronic mufflers, if it isn't loud enough go x pipe, if that's not loud enough go less restrictive downpipes

    Sound clips?

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    They will just use a reducer, it should be fine. It's not as if ur car is going for a 3 inch to a 2 inch. The other question for you was what rpm and speeds did it drone? When I had the mrt axleback on the drone was bad between 2500-3500 rpm And between the transmission sitting in higher...

    anyone use the auto park

    Perpendicular park is useless, doesn't matter if it's ford, cadillac, bmw, Mercedes, etc etc they are all way too slow. Parallel parking works like a charm, some of the spots I have snuck it into are so small you would need someone who Parallel parks in this car every single day for 15+ years...

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    Stock pipes/resonator produce no drone but make the exhaust raspy. On top of that at low rpm the car sounds quiet, once you break 4k rpm the noise opens up but x pipe helps to make it more grunty in the lower rpms... that is if you can find one that has minimal drone. In order to balance out...

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    100%, but I believe you can control it or negate depending on your type of x pipe. @Twurbo Noob is running a custom x pipe I believe, would be interesting to see what he has experienced so far.

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    Yeah valvetronic wasn't much help from my experience. A better x pipe should do the trick tbh.

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    Magnaflow is a more reputable company for sure. I'm not really sure how the x pipe will do. Kinda just gonna have to test it and see, when you get it put on send some sound clips, I would be interested to see how it does.

    Valvetronic Exhaust

    It's the x pipe, find another one or go back to the factory mid/resonator.
