Who put the broken record on repeat in here?
Until this thread ive never heard of any tuner not allowing the vehicle to be sent back to default or oem tune.
Thats incredible counter intuitive.
You mean to say if the owner demodded and went to sell the car as stock the base file is gone...
Man some of youd be really pissed if you watch the midnight performance videos with the white F150. They had a whipple lock up but no big deal they had a "spare" on hand. LOL. Wonder how many theyve got access to?
I guess all of a sudden there are going to be a bunch of standalone engine management tuners.......
With Lund you are paying for experience and knowledge. Same with anyone else that "locks" the tune.......
Your not going to like the answer.
Take them off again and dent them with something blunt like a small deadblow on the pipe and then use another hammer to pound it in a little.
I dont think with them on youd be able to do it without risking going through the pipe like you said.
Buy LOADED PP1 A10 with magride and active exhaust.
I love my 2020 and its the 3rd S550 ive had.
A loaded car will ruin you youll never want a base car again.
That 2300 kit is a better design and better heat exchanger brick. The 18+ HE is tiny thats why Lund wont do them.
Honestly I think longtubes and E85 with more timing is best way to go. Rather than pulley down a blower that already makes a ton of heat.
Expensive sure but clearly these are 2...
