Just heads up, CVF downpipes (and potentially others) may not fit your ‘25 ST. They didn’t for mine, NoVA speed shop tried, but nogo. Driver side no issues but passenger side is apparently a different angle and clearance. Shop worked with CVF to double check, pics vids etc showing the issue, CVF overnighted another pipe just to be sure, still nogo. Originally listed as OK for ‘25, website now says only for ‘20-‘24, which is good move until they sort.

Emailed CVF re return and I’m happy to be a guinea pig on this one, but just wanted to make folks aware.

Note, this is the first I’ve heard / known there were material exhaust changes for the ‘25, thought it was just nose, interior, PCM, and infotainment.

Thermal R&D 3” was OK install, though, so yay. We’ll just have to 2-putt to get downpipes, no worries.

Well sorry that they ended up not fitting. Seems like CV-Fab was very understanding about it and seemed to have pretty good costumer service.

Appreciate the support! Working on creating the prototypes for test-fit as we speak. Hoping for the beginning of the year.
