Yep, today. They were a huge bitch to get on. We dropped the trans and revived heat Shields to get them on. (My buddy did most the work).
You dropped the trans?

What was your fix? Mine is doing it but got Ford to "replace" as mine already had one worm gear clmap on each. I heard some people have to put 3 on

I was wondering if anyone knows whether some O2 extenders will fit with where the holes are located on the downpipes.

You don’t need them. They use a big body 400 cell cat...it won’t throw any codes.

Mine have gotten so loud, it's embarrassing. I'm either going to scrap the borla and stock mids and get thermal or go to a shop and get new flex pipes welded in.

Gotta say I always appreciate when someone swaps a substantial aftermarket part for another aftermarket part. Down for it haha.

I've had the SPD's and Borla S-Type's on since August and they're embarrassing loud I agree...I bought the Thermal Mids and am going to (have a Professional) cut the 2.25" SPD outlet and weld the 2.5" Thermal Mids...then use a 2.5" ID to 2.25" OD Reducer to mate the Thermals to the Borla's.

Just haven't had time to get over to the shop.

"embarrasingly loud"? How do you define embarrasing? On a scale of 1 being "noticeablely loud" and 10 being "pure humiliation", what are we talking?

It’s all about what you want out of your vehicle. Not many ppl in my area with ST’s even had an exhaust so I had To be my own guinea pig.
