    Who Has Downpipes + Thermal Exhaust ??

    I had e50 and Whipple installed prior to downpipes. I added the Fenfab catted downpipes and ran with the stock exhaust for ~1 month. The biggest change was you could hear the turbos spool up a little more at lower RPMs. The stock exhaust does a very good job at keeping things quiet. Adding...

    Who Has Downpipes + Thermal Exhaust ??

    I recorded my 4th gear pull for my latest ZFG revision (Fenfab intake, Thermal). Quite a bit of TC slippage at ~3500 RPM. Windows up and FENG disabled. I have been reluctant to post audio because it's just not the same as in person. Audio is terrible if you are using your phone, laptop or...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    agreed with @UNBROKEN, would love to deuglify the engine bay. IMO the ugliest thing is the coolant overflow tank, which Ford placed front and center, well a bit off-center, but you get the point.

    Ford has the fastest police vehicle in the country

    Reminds me of the meme "how can a generation that grew up on South Park and Family Guy be so offended by everything". South Park is absolutely genius by the way.

    3.0 dimensions

    might be easier, and cheaper, to drop in a Coyote engine. MUCH more aftermarket and tuning support on that platform as well.

    That price sounds right if you are doing the windshield and sunroof. Mine was a little around $475 ish with tax, can't remember exactly.

    SCT X4 Tuning!

    Ford Guy is referring to a butterfly valve in the exhaust. It closes slightly to try and quiet the exhaust. Operates like a throttle body.

    SCT X4 Tuning!

    Honestly I would not mess with a "valve management system". It's just a butterfly valve, likely electronically operated, that is installed in the exhaust pipes. It will be a big restriction in your exhaust. Your best solution, and probably the cheapest, would be to install a muffler in lieu...

    SCT X4 Tuning!

    You are either going to need to remove the x-pipe and reinstall a resonator (or two), or just dump the Borla all together and get a different exhaust. For the downpipes, you *may* be able to absorb some of the vibration by installing rubber bushings between the downpipe bracket and the OEM...

    FenFab Intake Install Instructions

    Now to remove the OEM airbox support bracket, reinstall the STB, and get a 3rd gear pull for ZFG. Hoping the weather cooperates on Thursday so I can hit the drag strip for a few passes.

    FenFab Intake Install Instructions

    A quick install guide for the Fenfab Instake. I had A LOT of help from Brett, Tyler, Chris, Billy, and Er Ick on the FB page in doing this install. Note that I have the JLT catch can, the UPR requires a little diff process. Watch Billy's Youtube video first to get a good idea of the process...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed Thermal R&D exhaust and mid-pipe on Saturday, then installed Fenfab intake this morning. Holy shit this thing sounds like a rocket now. I need to do a 3rd gear pull and send to ZFG to see if we need to tweak the tune any. Installation How-To Post...

    Who Has Downpipes + Thermal Exhaust ??

    I do, but I've heard videos online and they just don't sound the same. Fenfab catted dps installed for ~1month, Thermal installed yesterday. Sounds nasty mean at WOT but very tame and quiet when normal driving around. I'll try to record something tomorrow. Watching F1 now and don't plan on...
