Call it what you want, but how do we get these?! Looks so good.

Could ask for a piece of scrap tint and put it over your detector to tell.

If you run shit ceramic yes. Non metallic ceramic has no interference.

I believe the factory tint is inside the glass. So to my knowledge it is in addition to the factory tint.

You could definitely save some money and only do the front 2. And I would suggest the rear windshield personally but I haul a lot of tools and I don't like people to see that. With the rear doors the sunshade blocks a ton if you use them that will save a lot on the ceramic cost. All 9 windows...

Ceramic Tint 20% all the way around.

HAHAHA 4550 my bad reversed those numbers. lmao!

I mean my last car was a 2.7L Fusion and people run 12's all day with just a tune and it weighed 5450 with me in it. Just adding.

Sweet. This thread can be closed, I appreciate your expertise! TLDR; 3rd best mod - upgraded turbos.

This is very good information. I remember watching a video of PBD saying the turbos were only around 30% duty cycle on their tune. I guess he misspoke. Ok so fair to say, after intercooler and e50 tune the only way to pump more power is bigger turbos? Obviously if you go turbos it's a no...

Ok so the turbos are maxed out on e50?

Ok so best mod after intercooler and an e50 tune?

I'm confused. Mod 1. Intercooler Mod 2. e50 tune Mod 3. e50 tune?

My address is on the left side of the screen :). I don't have social media.

With my last thread, https://www.explorerst.org/threads/downpipes-upgrade-worth-it.2241/ , I think the general consensus was that downpipes were probably slightly more expensive and difficult to install for what they provide in terms of gains. So I open the floor to opinions/experience as to...

Haha, I hear that, I did my 2.7L on the floor in my garage the first time around, then when I upgraded my turbos I had a shop do the work, no way was I stressing like that again. Ok so expensive, difficult, possibly not the bottleneck we need to address as a 3rd modification? Is that the...

So it's safe to say if I went tune/intercooler and then added let's say meth or upgraded fuel system, my gains would be limited by the bottleneck of the downpipes? The stock cats are the culprit? Again I only ask and am being as thorough as I am is because of my last car, the cost and...

So was the .1-.2 from the cat back or from the downpipes? Are our downpipes a restriction? If they are at what horsepower figure do they become a bottleneck? Maybe that's a better way to word it. Thanks.

Thank you ZFG, that was informative. Does your reply here indicate you're back to tuning? I checked your website yesterday and there was a waitlist. While you're here, maybe you could chime in on the topic at hand? Are downpipe upgrades a necessary modification? Are they a bottleneck after...
