I also work from home and that actually helps when you want to buy a car you want to mod and keep for a long time. You won't put a lot of miles on it so you could keep the car for more than 5 years easy. And yes, I do look for any excuse to take the car out.
My car is also tuned by Tune+ and I also keep it in Sport mode most of the time, except when I'm on my street. On my street I keep it in normal just because I don't want the car in a lower gear, also don't drive at more than 30mph on my street. Don't want my neighbors looking at me funny! ;)
Don't really have any issues with drone on mine and I've had it installed for about three months now. The only time I might get some drone is related to what VinnAY said, if you're driving in a higher gear than you should be and then you press the gas a little. Don't have an issue on the...
How do you like the camera? The view quality is supposed to be great on those! Can you view videos on the road or do you have to take the card out and go to your computer to view the videos? I have a BlackVue at home but I haven't installed it yet on my vert because the model I have doesn't come...
The article didn't say it but if these "valves" are right on the exhaust then this feature becomes useless when you put an aftermarket exhaust or am I missing something? Like others have said, don't think a lot of neighbors are complaining about the stock exhaust being too loud! Well, I guess...
I know right? Sure gets you thinking!! lol
Don't get me wrong, I like my Ecoboost, but I also like modding and I'm having second thoughts about modding this engine, knowing I can't try to push it past 400hp unless I get a built block. Getting a built block will set you back a couple of thousands...
What's a ballpark figure for all the parts needed? I've seen some 5.0 engines for under $2K, just wondering what the rest of the parts would cost. This is a lot of work but a pretty cool project!!
How was the install? About to do the same install on my car tonight, also bought mine from another member. Only area I'm worried about is the part to goes on the hood latch.

And yes, stay with the COBB tuner.
I have an uncatted downpipe and I don't get any error codes or check engine light, Adam already took care of that with the tune. If you don't already have one, add an intercooler and a catch can to your mod list, and spark...
I wonder if the ECU loses track of the startup count when you change the battery. Isn't that one of the things they look at, how many times the engine has been started after it was last flashed? Seems too easy, so it probably doesn't work. lol
By the way, if you go to local meets, sometimes you...
My insurance WITH Geico dropped by more than half when I moved from Roosevelt (Nassau County), NY to Florida. Right now I'm paying $1,161 a year for my Mustang and an Acura MDX, both with full coverage.
I'm going to try Brothers Performance. VMP is closed on weekends and I wanted a downpipe but they didn't have it in stock, Bothers Performance has it. Going to try to make it to their next dyno day in May too.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
