93, planning on sticking with that.

I think for the main DP, exhaust, IC, tune combos 3.9x runs are as good as it gets and definitely pretty stout. I went quicker on E50 but I like the simplicity of a 93 tune. If they’ll dip into the .80’s with a good intake and piping...I’d be perfectly happy and probably wouldn’t load the E50 tune ever again.

I agree. We’ll find out relatively soon!

Love them! Going back for more work very soon. Quality materials, serious welding skills, listens to exactly what you want and will make sure you're happy when you leave.

So.... just dropped off my ST at K&N for their mock up/fit and dyno for the CAI. They will have it for a few days for testing. I’ll keep you all posted

Did you get to see anything and or will you get to see the design when you pick it up?

So right now it’s two pipes leading in to an air box and two cone filters inside.

I'm assuming the airbox has moved to the driver's side?

Yes. I got Nick in touch with K&N for final fit test and dyno test. After they’re done they’ll have to do the CARB testing for an EO number then they’re shooting for a Q3 release.

Just bought an ST and ordered exhaust and tune. Should be on this week! What is the next upgrade you guys would do? I was looking for intake options and came across this thread.
2021 with 180 miles on it.

i think the general consensus is probably Whipple intercooler as one of the very 1st necessities

I got to see some sneak peaks of the FENFab intake today, it's pretty slick looking.

@Kruppa I assume it's your ExST they're utilizing? Loving the progress!

That's correct! Mine has the FENFab cold air intake and charge pipes installed. He did those together and now needs to do a final fitment check to make sure the intake works fine with the stock charge pipes, in case people don't upgrade both. I am waiting on another part to arrive that he is going to install at the same time and when that comes I'll be dropping it off with him.
