2015-17 Mustang GT Ford Performance Power Packs

[Crossroads]

Wow guys....what a thread!!! It took me all week to read through everything and I am so impressed with the knowledge I've gleaned from all of you. Every few pages I've said, "No it sounds bad, I'm not going to get one...Wait, it sounds good, I'm going to get one" (PP2.) I've got a 2015 GT/PP. So I'm still undecided, and where I live in Utah I need to be emissions compliant. So I guess it's the PP2 or 3 or nothing!

Went through the same flip flop as you, even for 2 months after having the kit in hand. Seems like there are varied results. I have only had it installed for a week, but so far very pleased. Couple of minor issues but nothing to really complain about. Car is definitely more responsive and more fun to drive.

Will I change tune in 27 months after warranty, probably, but right now it keeps warranty, so for around $800 bucks for PP2 installed, you get decent bump in hp and performance with warranty. In 2 1/2 years prices should be cheaper on aftermarket parts after the new gen. Then I can decide if I want to go FI, or just change manifold, new tune, cat delete and 3 inch to the tips. In the meantime it is a nice upgrade at relatively low cost.Good luck.

I have zero regrets for my PP2! I have a few hundred on mine since install. Also, I just tried out the no lift shit and it works great! Almost like an autoblip at full throttle. The funny thing is if you try to take your foot off the gas it will cause bucking.

Like many others have noted, the frpp2 is fuel sensitive. Took some trial and error to get the ping out and looking like Shell works quite well with this package. Also wanted to say there are a few posting big torque gains down low with frpp2 but that's bs, however it does pull strong starting at 3k rpm. Have fun!

So putting a few miles on the PP3 and haven't noticed any ping yet. I did switch to shell 93 as I saw some people say that prevented ping so I'm just being preemptive. I do notice a whistling sound on acceleration, more noticeable in lower rpm's then gets phased out by other noises in high rpm. I believe this might just be the exposed cone air filter setup creating extra sound, anybody else agree or have any experience with that?

No whistle with the FRPP2 using the same CAI.

Hm maybe I should check for leaks. Or maybe the higher flowing manifold contributes to the noise. I have no CEL and it was installed at a ford dealer so I'd be surprised if there's any leaks

Yes on my PP2. With the windows down I can hear it. Subtle but high pitched and it directly correlates to throttle input. Figure it was either the intake or TB.

Yes I was hearing it with the windows down today. And goes away when throttle is let off

I heard you the first time

How many have compared before and after TrackApps times? If would be interesting to see come comparisons for pack 1, 2, and 3. If there are enough people with data, maybe we can put this into another thread. With almost 16k on mine, there's a rapidly decreasing interest in these packs - except that safety and CARB legality will always keep me interested.

Not the same car but I installed a high quality (expensive) intake on my last car and got a whistle at slight part throttle or when opening and closing the throttle. In my case it was the air whistling by the barely open throttle plate. The CA intake and hi flow filter simply let the sound out that the stock intake and filter muffled. Maybe the same?

there is going to be a huge difference based on the driver nevermind the course.

I don't disagree. I'd still enjoy seeing it. If I find the time, I'll even organize it all.

Installed PP2 today, runs like a rapped ape up top, but it hesitates/breaks up on hard shifts. I did select the sensitive fuel setting. So I am thinking its either that or still learning? Any Ideas?
