I went with Kooks 2" long tubes, no cats, and Kooks 3" catback. I couldn't be happier with it. Installed everything with the help of a friend. That along with a Lund tune netted 450hp on a mustang dyno in the middle of summer on a 90+ degree day. I have since Installed a Whipple stage 2 kit...
I did not. I am going to take a look when I get it back on the lift in a couple weeks to see if there is anything I can fab up to enhance brake cooling. I am pretty sure I will still experience brake fade when I go to the track this spring even after the upgrade but I want to get a few runs in...
Gotcha. Good to know! I had already planned on doing stainless lines when I upgraded the brakes so wasn't any real question for me but this is great info to help other seeking advice/answers.
I could be wrong, I just remember reading it on LMR before I purchased the kit. Below is what they had posted.
All 2015-2021 Non-Performance Pack Ecoboost/GT Mustangs will require OEM 6 piston brake hoses or J&M brake hose kit JM-22560FC (fits both 4 and 6 pistons)
I am pretty sure you cannot use the factory front lines from 4 piston to 6 piston however the lines that steeda sells will work with both 4 or 6 piston. I used the steeda lines.
Like @moffets said. Take the clutch pedal spring out. That was the first thing I did to my 18. Since I have done many things, including a Whipple gen5 stage 2. Removing that God awful clutch spring made the biggest difference for me even before FI. Best part is that it is a free mod. Worth a shot.
I run Ford Motorcraft 5w-50 with my Whipple 2018. I order it from rock auto. If you spend that much on a Supercharger what's a $100 every 3-5k miles in the grand scheme of things..
I did not. I am going to see how things go at the track this spring and go from there. Last spring we got bad brake fade after about 4 laps on a short coarse(1.6 mi). They were rolling smoke when we came off. Granted I am pushing way more horsepower than stock so that may have a bit to do with...
I searched quite a bit over the past year regarding supporting the engine and dropping the subframe to remove the oil pan and change the gasket. I really wanted to avoid this if at all possible and was successful in changing the gasket without the above mentioned procedure. This is more of an...
When I installed 2" kooks on my 18 I did remove the battery, and shield for better access to header studs. Also had to remove both lower motor mounts and jack the engine up slightly. Some people leave a few of the factory studs in the block cause they are a pita to remove. I ended up changing...
I went with kooks full exhaust. 2" long tubes, off road pipes(no cats), 3" catback with h-pipe. It will definitely wake the car up, and the neighbors haha. I wanted it to be as open as possible in preparation for the Whipple which yielded better than anticipated results. Kooks are a bit on the...
I had a roush cai on my 18 that the dealer installed before I bought the car. I never had any issues with it. Removed it last year when I installed my Whipple. It is still sitting in my garage if you want it. Has about 7k miles of use.
