I won't say fitment is perfect. I followed their directions carefully and one side sits back further than the other. You can account for this when you position the tips, but on mine, the tips do have to sit out a bit--they pointed funny when i had them more flush.

Honest exhaust shops are few and far between. Especially true for chains like Midas. Agree 100% with RED09GT. They probably charged you more labor to make this "crap kit" magically fit--am I right? I would seriously encourage anyone who buys this kit to DIY. It's not hard. The money you...

Is this better than the Ford service manual? I've used the free online version and for the few things I've used it, it's pretty good. Here's the rear subframe link: https://www.foexplorer.com/ford_explorer_removal_and_installation_rear_subframe-1496.html

Thanks. That certainly seems like it would make a huge difference. Did you have to remove the seats or did your just remove the carpet? Got any pics?

Nice color and loaded up... the way it should be.

Welcome, neighbor!

Nice. The more bad press the better. Hopefully that will get Ford to fix it right! I think it would be sweet if Consumer Reports, NYTimes, Forbes, etc reported on this recall.

I had my PCM updated about a year after ownership since my Explorer was an early build. I was tuned but made sure to return to stock. The updated PCM firmware resulted in a change in strategy code and you cannot just reload your tune. Thankfully, I had Livernois and their customer service is...

Not necessarily. They know exactly which vehicles are affected. I know I haven't gotten a recall notice. Maybe this includes the 4 bangers with the 3 bolt. As has happened before, just because your car falls in the build range doesnt mean its affected.

i wouldnt be surprised if they blame the bolt and just repace it with a stronger one and call it a day.

These are pics of my MY2020. The firewall insulation is an aluminum clad material that starts up top of the firewall and goes all the way down to surround the areas around the downpipes. It appears to be in segments. Your insulation may be completely black without the aluminum skin. I've...

I wonder if the roof rail specs are born out of structural concern or if they are concerned about top loaded weight being a rollover risk. I would think that it would be safe hauling 3 plastic kayaks that weight 125lb and driving conservatively as appropriate.

Could be cost cutting for 2022 but could also just be just a temporary supply-related omission--plenty of those going back to 2020. Edit: looking at some others' pics, that insulation may just be completely black now--without the aluminum. Hopefully that's the case with yours. I did see some...

Not to be an alarmist, but does your firewall not have the insulation that other ST's have? See pic below which is patricklb1's and shows the aluminum clad insulation I'm referring to. At the very least, that layer serves to cut down on engine noise.

The cheapest on the Gibson website was a little above $500. The AutoAnthing deal is great and they are a legit company. Love my Gibson Axleback.

the exhaust flex sections have been problematic. Also, sometimes the exhaust heat shields can come loose. lastly, the undercarriage covers can be loose... althiugh thats usually noise at highway speeds.

Just put it back. That piece goes easily back in place. A lot of the parts are cheap but I like how they snap into place and can easily be removed and replaced.

What they really need is a performance version to compete with the ST.

the way i did it, I selected ASAP mobile install, they ship it to them, meanwhile i go o the ASAP schedule and pick out a day that convenient for me that is at least a few days out. Super convenient!

Have you checked Tirerack? They have some in that size. Best of all, they can come to your house to install them using their ASAP mobile service.
