4 more hours tuning the audio today. There’s probably 60+ hours into just that over the last few years. Just a normal day watching phase traces using a 7 mic array. lol
Technically I just watch. This stuff makes my brain hurt IMG_0815.jpeg

They make a nice difference.
Fact! Thanks for the idea!

For everyone else, some real-world experience and thoughts - I'm amazed how quiet it is with the DPs, 2.5" Thermal and Vibrant Ultra Quiets. I didn't dB test the before and after, but it's at least as quiet as with the exhaust only, and I'd swear it's a tad quieter. I think this is a must-do for anyone that has an exhaust they feel is too loud, the Vibrants tame things WAY down. I was nervous that it would be too loud (for me) as a DD with the downpipes after reading a bunch of posts. I came out of a FBO Trackhawk with 3" Magnaflow and it literally rattled the stuff on the wall that abuts our garage when I'd warm it up in the Winter. It sounded Amazing, but made me self conscious at times. All my neighbors knew when I was leaving for work in the early morning, and I didn't want that again.

2021 Ford Police Interceptor Utility 3.0l Twin Tur
I havent posted here for over a year. I bought a 2021 Interceptor utility with the 3,0 L ecoboost. I've put 13K on it and just had new goodyear enforcer tires installed and alignment. I changed the spark plugs about 2k miles ago. I've not had any issues with engine and the 1080R transmision. I've driven a couple of consumer ST's and It feels quite different. Mine also has the 3.31 rear end ratio and very different spring rates. It's not a plush ride lol unless you load the back up with a bunch of heavy items. In the future I plan to tint the front windows and install the black graphic on the hood depression. I'm really happy with this SUV.
