What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Caster]

Added this little device when I got home today. Very easy. No more remembering to press that dumb button.

Until you have certain over the air updates. Certain updates deactivate the S/S eliminator and you need to unhook the negative battery terminal for a few mins and then hook it back up to have the S/S eliminator work correctly again. I've had (2) updates that messed with it and that is the process to get it to work correctly again.

Crazy. So they mess with that and tunes with OTA updates. I'd turn them off if this thing didn't have the new Ford Experience stuff. But it's late in 2025, maybe they are done with those types of updates.

Just picked a black 2020 ST a few weeks ago (Wife's daily driver) but I've installed Amazon floor mats, ZL1 Addons splash guards, BOV adapter, Center console organizer/tray, Door grab handle organizer (for the kids), updated sync (hadn't ever been updated at all since new), and did some stock Dragy pulls for comparison against future mods.

I'll be adding a light strip under the hood lip, red door badges, license plate cover, Ford emblem overlays, center cap overlays, AA full screen mod, and some Forscan mods soon.

Future plans involve a tune, intercooler, wheel spacers, rear sway bar, LED light upgrade, satin black hood stripes, and possibly some tint on the moonroof and upper windshield.

Added the weather techs front and back, and removed the front plate holder.

I have the stock piping with an upgraded TurboSmart BOV installed in the stock location. I ordered the hot side pipes with the stock location BOV assuming there would be a place to install my current one. I didn't receive anything in the box except the pipes, boots, and clamps for the hot and cold side. Kind of frustrating as I had to wait a month and a half for it to ship and now I can't install it. No word back from Brett yet...

That's unusual! He is usually pretty quick about customer service. Maybe he is away.

He just replied, assume he is really busy. He confirmed what you said about having to do the BOV in the cold side. Wish the description noted that so I would have ordered it correctly the first time. I don’t care for the BOV pssshhh… which is why I wanted to use my stock location and current BOV.

Been really enjoying my dp's and thermal 3" exhaust. Love the sound, but alas as many other folks have concluded that after a bit of fun with them, maybe a little mellowed out is in order. I still wanted awesome sound, just a little bit of the throaty/rasp taken out and to not sound like I'm WOT at 1/5 throttle. Just had a pair of Vibrant resonators installed. Couldn't be happier with the results! Pretty much eliminated the rasp, while still having sweet engine sounds play through. I opted for the smaller bottle version. They also have a larger oval "ultra quiet" version as well.

I can't wait to put my 2.5" Thermal on next week. Don't want to get too wild with noise.

I thought the same thing about it when I did mine but you can’t really hear it. It’s not overly noticeable.

Yea, i mean i really love the 3" sound, but I guess you can say it started getting to be a bit much. I hindsight I probably would have went with the 2.5" and and most likely wouldn't have needed to spend another $400 on resonators+install.

The new HKS BOV adds an additional layer of fun sounds I'm playing with now as well.

I sent an email to Adam at ZFG to see if I needed the BOV and his response was no... So I am going to just stick with what I have and not worry about it. I have de-badged ST so other than the exhaust you wouldn't know anything has been done to it... sleeper mode activated! I let Brett know as well.

That’s odd because I asked the same thing when I got my tune and they told me it was. Maybe he does something in the tune now.
