MBRP with a muffler replacing the X-pipe. It droned like crazy with the X-pipe, now the drone’s like 97% gone except when under 1500 rpm’s it still does a little when cruising, but I’m usually above that rpm range. I might swap out the canister mufflers for the factory rear mufflers. So basically the only thing left from the actual exhaust kit would be the piping . Still on the fence about it. Most ppl are running the 2.5” Thermal exhaust with the accompanying midpipe and seem to love it. I’d say if the MBRP is on your list take it off, go Thermal or custom.

love the Custom Plate.
How long did it take to get it?
I ordered mine two months back and later traded the car it was associated with.
No sign of it from DMV. looks like 50$ down the drain.
I did not even get the sequential registration plate for the ST

I've had that plate awhile, 2016 Mustang Premium GT, 2019 C-7 Grand Sport. The plates travel well, since Newsom released all the prisoners it's taken longer to get them but if you dare to venture into a DMV office they can track your order...

Maybe, we'll see what they say, hopefully soon.

They (Ford) came back with the issue of the one bolt has been resolved with a "launch detune" and "auto parking brake." They will not do the replacement of the sub frame and second bolt. Soooo I guess I'll hope it doesn't break.

There is no 'detune' only the auto parking brake, I installed the 'Ford Racing Performance Tune' which included the auto parking brake. And the launch is much better!

No offense but how do you know since it's a 2023 "fix"? Just curious... that's just what they told me.

No offense taken bro, but you can read through this thread https://www.explorerst.org/threads/safety-recall-22s27-rear-axle-bolt-fractures.3717/ and there's plenty of information on the actual recall. It's only for safety and the E-Brake is to keep the vehicle from rolling away if the bolts break, there is no change to the power output to keep the bolts from breaking. The recall only address the 'Automatic E-Brake'. I haven't researched the 2023 but I don't think there's been any changes since the 2022 or other models. I'll attach the actual recall for the '22 so you can read it if you like. And I don't see why they would release the FRP Tune which adds more power and include the auto e-brake with the tune.

Any pointers towards a good tinting place in SoCal, South LA side to be specific.
Looking for front windows

@R2D2 I know a great place in Orange County (Irvine/Laguna Hills) if you're down here for the day.

Do share it.
It's an hour away for me, but I do drive down in-between. If I'm not able to find a good place near by, might as well take that trip.
Thanks in advance

@R2D2 Tint Plus Automotive, 23011 Moulton Pkwy, Laguna Hills, 92653. Did great work for a few of my cars and my buddies.

I’m in the Ventura area. Any folks in Cali that can recommend someone that does performance tunes in Ventura county? Specifically I’d love to run e85 or even e50. Also, I replied to you cuz I’d love to know how you got Bambi going. Bambi is highbeems and fog lights on at the same time right?
