I agree. Fast idle at start up drives me mad. In our new Outback XT it's frenetic at start up and for an extended period of time too. Must waste so much fuel.

I'll be interested to see if they do this for you. When I asked my tuner, they refused saying it was needed for emissions reasons to warm the cats.

The addition of extractors certainly added rasp. 🙄 With the tune it's also added low down torque. 🙂 I still find, three years later, I'm in 3rd then I thought it was 2nd.

Captures the moment perfectly...

Captures how fun this car is...

Just to give you more to consider; Pacemaker claim they are Tuned Length rather than Equal Length. Discuss... 🙂

When I had my Pacemakers headers and mid pipe / resonators fitted, I had no check engine light. Did get the car tuned a few weeks later and never drove especially hard prior to the tune.

I had my Pacemaker headers coated by Ceramic Coat Australia (next door to Pacemaker). For visual appeal I avoided the 'chrome' look as it's dark down in the engine bay and the chrome disappears. Instead I had Dale use a silver and I think it looks terrific.

Certainly no one magic bullet but if I have to say which mod (all listed below) made the greatest difference, I'd say the RLCA spherical bearing. But that could just be the timing as it was essentially the last thing I did and then everything just felt right.

Yes I’ve got the same sticker on my 2016.

😀 Well how about that! After 7+years of ownership, I’d never really noticed the E10 sticker. I’ll stick to 98 ‘tho.

I’m sure my 2016 GT needs 98 and that’s with the 11:1 coyote. I would have thought the 12:1 2018+ motor would need 98 even more.

Shannons for allowing mods. End of story.

Interested in people's thoughts: Car was custom tuned three years ago after installing headers and mid-pipe. Stock rear mufflers were still on then. Now the exhaust is complete 3" with Varex rear boxes. Is it worth a re-tune?

Ahh yes, hadn't thought of that. The 18s may not be as visible with the engine cover.

Re the colour of the extractors, I initially thought black as well but then settled on silver (definitely NOT chrome), because you can see them and they're a work of art!

I don't drive it everyday but I do enjoy owning it everyday.

About 18 months ago I lost the digital broadcast of ABC 891 (Adelaide). All other digital stations seem to work as does 891 on the AM band. On the screen DAB+ 891 appears but no sound like it's muted. Ford service has updated the software but still the same. Any ideas?

Every 12 months. Regardless. Just serviced last week and had done about 2500km since last change.

I'll second Varex mufflers for taming LTH. I've got the smart bot that allows you to play with it via the app. Geo mode useful to keep it quiet around home. Matrix mode interesting; I've made the option of valves only 25% open when throttle open more than 15% and valves completely open below...
