I installed the CVF downpipes today on ramps in the garage. It took 5 hours and it was well worth it. I didn't lower the subframe and spent an hour just trying to get my socket to the outer passenger nut, the rest was straight forward. The 3" thermal sounded great by itself, but it sounds so much better now and the turbos sing. I also put in a K&N filter. Now just waiting to tune and have fun for a bit before the next project starts.

Washed, Meguiars Ultimate Compound to get off the rail dust and tar, and then a coat of Meguiars Ultimate paste wax.

I will try this Jim. Is this a new product? I use Ultimate spray detailer, and Ultimate spray wax too.

I put on some exoforma tire coating, did some cerakote on the plastic trim too.

I also added reflective nitrous blue ST badge inlays on the front and rear. Matches my Focus ST now.

Just got back from an overnight road trip…I tried to go 70 and get “great” mileage…but, I just couldn’t. When I wasn’t stuck in horrendous traffic, I was cruising 85ish. Upon returning home, I installed the Amazon pedals and the MBRP axle back setup I bought off a Member here. Riding around this afternoon and I can tell
you these axle back setup is quite a bit louder than stock…especially right before gear change. Don’t know if I’ll keep them or not. Probably still gonna get the 2.5” thermal…Need to hear em in person

Installed Houston Speed Freaks (HSF) LED kit. I'm happy with the purchase, easy install and lights up nicely. Apologize did not take pics because nobody was home to place the ST in reverse.

Changed my oil. First time doing it myself as my service plan is over. Just used Pennzoil Platinum as it was on sale at my local O'Reillys and a Motorcraft filter. I know it's not Amsoil or anything special but I figure it's good enough if I change it every 5000 miles. Also replaced the factory drain plug with the Ronin piece. Very nice quality.

Installed the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty trailer brake controller on my lunch break. I took a number of pictures because the current descriptions of how/where to find the plug under the dash are mostly wrong; at least for the 2021 ST.

This afternoon I plan to finish making my ST into a great tow vehicle with an AirLift 1000 kit and an AWR diff brace. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. This weekend will be the first big haul for it, so I want it to be ready.

They are plenty bright (even under direct sun) and cheap at 16$ from Amazon.

Hey Boosted - which option did you buy? (C1 or C1R)?

Is yours 0nly reverse? or does yours also work with braking?

I bought the C1 and am happy with it. I don’t think a brake light that low would do much good. The C1 provides backup and running light (one or the other at a time).
