Upgrades

[John Henry]

I purchased my 2020 ST used. The person had a Borla exhaust installed. What else would he have done and how can I tell?

1. Seems lower but I can never find another ST to see if it was. Don't want to be the creepy guy in a parking lot with a measuring tape but....
2. How can I tell if he put a Whipple IC in? Looking through the grill I see it going down past where the license plate goes.

What else to look for?

Springs and rear swaybar are visible through the back tire. Stock are black, h&r springs are blue-gray and Steeda are bright blue. Steeda rear swaybar is bright blue, you can’t miss it.

Dealership can let you know if the ecu was ever flashed.

You can find a comparison of stock intercooler vs. whipple on this forum. It’s a big difference. Should be able to confirm with a flashlight.

Can check for wheel spacers if the wheels are flush/nearly protruding.

Thanks!!! Just saw the blue Steeda springs! Dang, he is taking the fun out of it. The IC has to be a whipple, it's way bigger than the stock picture I saw.

Make sure you’re not looking at the radiator. The oem IC is way up high.

Thanks, it does look like I have a stock IC.

Another quick question- I confirmed that the ST I bought has Steeda springs. No idea on any other upgrades (thank you Unbroken for the IC confirmation). I am assuming it was lowered and when you do you should do an alignment. Dealership said $99, a great auto repair shop said $99 but if the computer needed to be relearned it would be another $125.

Should I do it just in case the previous owner didn't? And, do you think that the dealership would spring the extra $ if it needed the "relearning"?
