This may work for other states too (check your local laws) I was able to obtain a waiver for my emissions test failure due to "not ready" status.
To cut a long story short, after tune and headers, the catalyst and 02 sensors would not ready up, despite driving cycles and replacing 02 sensors...
I have been trying to figure out how to fix this problem, but I am out of ideas. I cannot pass emissions testing in my county without the smog sensors active, yet they refuse to 'ready' up. I have driven the car a few hundred miles, tried 02 spacers on the downstream sensors and had it in my...
Interested in making this upgrade and have no skin in the game in terms of brand.
Anyone have any ideas why the pricepoints are vastly different?
Steeda - $1500 https://www.steeda.com/steeda-555-5061-s550-road-race-k-member
BMR - $700...
After my first track day, my brakes seem to be the weakest link. I have stock components all around.
What would be your advice on upgrades? Rotors/Calipers/Pads.
I'm happy to save and go all in to upgrade all these components, but if there is a cheaper option (i.e. just pads and upgraded brake...
I keep reading that FI can negatively effect cats, even high flow cats. Most people say to take them out altogether.
What I don't understand is that other platforms use cats without any 'obvious' issues:
- Saleen/Roush/Shelby S/C Mustangs - you can throw in F150s for that matter
- GT500
-...

Not straightforward. The first thing I noted was that some fool had secured my RTR shift knob with a...
I'm looking to upgrade the headers for that extra bit of power and decibels. The work will be done at a local shop (TBD)
While upgrading, are there any other parts to add on? I am thinking:
- Aluminum driveshaft
- Oil pump gears
I'm running the Roush stage 2 SC and other other stuff in my...
Went into my dealership today to buy out the lease on my 2020 Explorer ST.
The crooks added a $500 dollar mark up, a $895 doc fee and a $300 state inspection. I told them where they could stick it. Their explanation was that all dealerships put mark up on lease buy outs; not true btw...
I want to pick up the GT350 steering wheel, but am confused by many of the listings that appear to include the buttons or not. I don't mind transferring my stock buttons over to the new wheel, but I would welcome having them as part of the wheel.
If you have bought the GT350 wheel with or...
Was supposed to start my HPDE adventure this Friday, but it has been called off due to an impending storm.
The next available date with this organization is 12/10. I imagine the air temps will be between 40-50F.
I can wait until Spring if its a bad idea to start tracking at low temps...or it...
Now that I have the great looking black Mishimoto coolant tank, I would love to swap out the ugly brake reservoir with something similar. I see there is black plastic cover, but does anyone know of nice replacement tank, preferbly black
I am happy with my Steeda H pipe. It really turned up the volume on start up and general driving.
I see a lot of folks going with the aftermarket mufflers and looking for opinions. I've listened to many videos, but they really don't do them justice.
Would still like more volume and deeper...
Installed both this weekend to have that layered split look across the lower trim. I do like how it came out.
RTR rocker splitters - easy install. Only pain was lining up the holes - recommend another person to help before letting the 3M tape take hold. They are also screwed in. Only came with...
Looking for feedback on rear seat delete kits. I would love the FP version, but at ~$800 it is steep vs. the competition.
Happy to pay more for a cleaner fit and finish.
Thank you,

Thought I would share given all the stories about finding one.
Happy to take a closer look for anyone who is interested.
