Space bar tip FTW!!!!!

Welcome. A ton of info on tuning here and the HP Explorer FB page. Side note....I have a Livernois tuner for sale! Solid gains with this! https://www.explorerst.org/threads/for-sale-lms-mycalibrator-tuner.2443/ https://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product/LPP631160

Cincy! Man, $200 for tips....not my preference. There are a few on one of the FB pages though. I just went the Thermal exhaust route, black tips, and hopefully no more flex section rattles!

mine hasn't failed...yet. MANY others have, which is why there is an active TSB for this.

waiting as well..........

an aftermarket cat back exhaust replaces every component after the catalytic converters, aka "down pipes", which includes your broken part. Not all "cat-back" exhaust systems are truly cat back. Some do include the y-shape part with the flex sections, some don't. The flex sections are known...

ahhh, turbo timers that kept the engine running for a predetermined amount of time. I had turbo timers on my turbo DSMs back in the day. The exhaust manifold would literally get red hot, so yeah, shutting down the engine and letting the oil coke on the turbo shaft was a real issue. For...

I honestly wouldn't stress over getting the most HP / Dollar here. If you plan on doing both then grab the SPD down pipes now since they are available, then get the AFE when available. Check out the FenFab intake as well. Also, don't focus on max HP gains, but instead look at the increase in...

purely qualitative response here, Downpipes will give you the better bang-for-the-buck gain here. You will be hard pressed to find any before/after dyno runs to quantify this as the DPs are a pain in the ass to install. The high flow cats in the DPs will help the turbochargers spool much...

straight pipe as in no mufflers or resonators? Loud AF?

no, never have and never will. Dealership tried hard, even pulled out the adaptive cruise sensor and said "this little guy here is $2000". I told them the adaptive cruise is the first thing I'm disabling when get the keys! Turns out it's not $2000.

Their IG page said it’s not functional now, but they will ship a new vented insert free to anyone that buys the hood. I prefer the stock hood, just sharing the info.

yep, that would do it! Now you don't have to waste time at the dealer! I would double check all of the other hose clamps on each connection. Others could be loose but didn't come off because this one relieved the system pressure.

I'm still waiting for my Thermal to ship! I may have Lebanon Ford install my FenFab downpipes. I typically do everything myself, but the horror stories on the passenger side bolt have me thinking it's best someone else does it.

Good morning @ron@whooshmotorsports, any updates on Thermal orders shipping? Looking forward to getting it installed. Thank you!

Lebanon, I'm your neighbor! I live in Mason. who replaced the turbo? Lebanon Ford? What other mods have you done? Good news is the drivers side of the engine bay isn't as congested as the passenger side. There are a number of small hoses that connect to the turbo suction and discharge...

I see no reason to pass on the Whipple. They are well respected in the industry and I don't believe anyone that has installed one, including me, has anything bad to say.

Definitely a worthwhile mod for increased performance and enhanced reliability. If you are just puttering around town easy on the gas all the time then no, but if you want to drive the ST the way she should be driven then yes. Remember the Ideal Gas Law from physics? Hot inlet temps cause...

Looks great!

No, there is a desktop application you download.
