no communication from Thermal, but I got my delivery notification for tomorrow from UPS today

As long as you did intercooler first, its close, but the stock DPs are REALLY restrictive. If you just wanted to do DPs and not the rest, you will still see huge gains and get over that hump.

The speed limit on I95 is also 65mph

I think you need to change the country code to some English speaking European country

which the argument could be made is a better place for it.

I was under the impression that you werent going to enter this one into competitions... has that now changed?

Depends on how much you are in the sun, quality of vinyl, and surface prep but I’ve had some wraps last 5 years and others maybe 2. Different colors last different lengths too. The tech is for sure getting better. The newest 3M vinyls can last 5 years easy, especially if you ceramic coat them.

I have had the roof and C-Pillars done since day 1 of ownership and the hood done in forged vinyl for about 6 months now. Finally got around to finishing everything off and it came out quite well I think. Total rundown of work: gloss black roof, shark fin, and c-pillars, matte/gloss emblem...

The random 3D weave carbon fiber on the dash bothered me and I had leftover forged carbon wrap from doing my hood, so I figured I would make the interior match..... and then I just kept going...

The intercooler is drop shipped directly from Whipple, not in stock at Whoosh. That said, Ron can provide you with an update if you email him.

Yeah, its kinda crazy how much Ford left on the table...

It was this kit: https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopify.com/collections/2020-ford-explorer-st/products/thermal-r-d-2020-explorer-st-2-5-mid-pipes Yes, I initally also bought the Borla ATAK because when I bought my ST that was all that was on the market. Since, I have replaced everything up to the...

Yes. It will get MUCH worse. I did not use these as I just used the Thermal mid-pipe kit from Whoosh (which uses Vibrant woven flex pipes), but I am sure any competent exhaust shop could weld either of those pieces into your existing setup.

the downpipes will obliterate the stock mesh flex pipes within weeks so you will need to replace at least those while you are messing with the exhaust

The master window switch is a POS. I've replaced mine twice. First time was due to chrome peeling. Second time was because the mirror rocker switch and folding mirror button stopped working. So this MAY be something to keep an eye on.

Good on you! Post more pics! I'm still not convinced that the front clip is or isn't ugly--my mind is more unsure about it, but the hood is pretty amazing looking.

Same as the others. Strut tower brace is aesthetics. Sway bar is 1,000% worth it.

I replaced Ford's stupid mesh with the traditional woven style. I just ordered the Thermal mid-pipe kit from whoosh as it already is designed to fit to FenFab or SPD downpipes and welded it up to my existing cat back exhaust. Comes with new 2.5" midpipes and the good flex sections.

The rattle from the stock flex joints will literally vibrate your teeth. If you have ditched those, you will be all good. I made the mistake of doing DPs and exhaust without doing the mids and flex joints--that mistake didn't last a week.
