Prior to coming over to the Ford Explorer world, I had a total of (4) four very different Mustangs (2010 GT V8 convertible, 2016 GT V8 convertible, a 2017 V6 Convertible and a 2017 I-4 Ecoboost coupe). As I said, 2 had the "H-Pipe" replacement for the mid chassis resonator post cat converter and before curving over the rear axle. I found the H-Pipe 1)adds some sound quality to the otherwise stock exhaust (yes, you can hear it slightly louder but not annoying, 2) there is minimal drone which is important in convertible cars 3) you eliminated about 30 plus pounds of total vehicle weight (H-pipe vs resonator) and 4) the entire job can be much cheaper than a new exhaust system. MRT has H-Pipes for $300 and they take about a hour to install at a quality muffler shop. I found a slight improvement in performance with the H-pipe. I plan to make this upgrade at the end of March after I complete some travel.

My decided on the ST, since we had a ZPlan number, after driving a few different SUVs, this was it. Coming from an Infiniti G35 Coupe and then a V8 Grand Cherokee, she loved the response and handling. Just wanted to say I’ve been searching around and doing some research on here the last week as a guest and can’t say enough of how helpful and informative the people and posts are on here. So big thanks! Let the add-ons begin.

2022 ford explorer st
Hello all!
Purchased my new to me 2022 ford explorer st about a year ago. Overall no issues, I am currently having the sunshade replaced under warranty and I did have a 3" thermal r&d cat-back exhaust installed a couple months back, absolutely love it! New brakes being installed as well lasted about 36,000 miles with 40% still left on them but they were warping so having them swapped out. Looking forward to learning more from members who have tuned and modified theirs more than I have.

Hello all! We just purchased a Black 2025 Explorer ST for my wife's primary vehicle. As a gear head from a small child I am pumped to have this beast in the family. I have about 30 years in and around the automotive world including time as a mechanic, teaching the transportation technology class as well as building, crewing and driving dirt track race cars. I hope I can contribute as much to the forum as I gain from it.
