    Borla S-type glass fibers

    Glad to hear that, hopefully that will stop the fibers. I am tired of washing my ride 2-3 times a week!

    Anyone home?!?

    Borla S-type glass fibers

    They will review the pics, see that the resonator is shedding the packing. Verify your original purchase and probably send a new kit or parts to replace the defective ones. They might send a return slip also to send the defect parts back..... this is what I expect, I am waiting for 5star to...

    Borla S-type glass fibers

    Hopefully the more people who are experiencing this contact them, they will resolve the issue quickly.

    How does everyone wash and dry the roof?

    Battery powered leaf blower, works just fine for me. Also it really helps with drying the wheels and wheel wells.

    Borla S-type glass fibers

    Hey Guys, I posted a few pictures and a question a week or so back if anyone had fiber glass strands coming out of the exhaust system... I have an update, I purchased my kit from 5star tuning and I reached out to them and asked the same question and was told that it has been happening for a few...

    Rear door

    Just checked all doors and they are fine, man that’s frustrating me just looking at the pics.... hopefully it’s covered under warranty and it’s a quick and easy fix.

    Borla Exhaust Upgrade

    Nice! In the last one while it’s in your garage when you are reving it you can hear the snaps and pops.... I like it. I’m sure once it’s “Broken In” the sound will be even better.

    Borla Exhaust Upgrade

    Damn!!! Can you PLEASE post a sound clip or video so we can hear it? The fit and weld joints look great too

    Thank you, It’s a classic! I wanted to get a male Doberman pincher and name it Lamont... that way I could refer to him as dummy in public. Unfortunately my wife won’t let me get one until we move

    Borla Exhaust Upgrade

    Thank you for the reply. I figured it was just that and hopefully it will subside with more drive time. Sounds good and looks good though.

    Borla Exhaust Upgrade

    I forgot to ask one question about this system... aside from the Heat shield bolts, is there any other points that could cause rattles? I did torque the clamps to 36 foot pounds like the manual instructed although I feel this is a little too weak but I’m no expert on torque specs for stainless...

    Anyone notice little Fibre Glass “fibers” on the rear of the vehicle after installation and putting some miles on the new system?

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    This one is not a “New” thing exclusive to the Explorer, if you hold the “OK” button down on the steering wheel and while holding it down start the vehicle the dash display goes into a service mode... sorry I can’t think of the actual mode name but it’s kinda cool, test the chimes, dash lights...

    UPR catch can and orange fitting solution.

    I had the same issue trying to remove the orange fitting, my next door neighbor is a tech that works at the Ford Dealer and he looked at the “Book” and it says to break it off and replace with a new fitting. Kinda stupid that ford put a tamper resistant fitting on that end of the hose, be...

    Thank you guy’s... I am very happy with the setup from 5star, I currently have the Dailystreet/Tow 93 octane set and it made a huge difference, it drives so much better and has more power. I am going to set the 93 octane performance tune tomorrow just to see how much more power is produced.

    Borla Stype makes engine hotter?

    Thank you for the reply, I agree with the fact that more power= more heat.... just weird that with the stock exhaust it wasn’t as hot. I forgot to mention it was no more than 80 degrees when I did a test ride and I did HotDog it a bit to be able to hear the exhaust note. I am going to drive it...

    Borla Stype makes engine hotter?

    Hello to all, I am a new member and have a question. I recently installed the UPR can and did the 5star tuner, currently running the Daily street/tow performance tune... that being said a few hours ago I installed the Borla Stype kit and took a ride to check it out. I used Sport mode and just...
