Paying for a dealer install for an out of warranty engine job on a now 6 year old car is bonkers.
Pay an indie shop to install a used engine, you can literally pay to do the job two times at a indie shop for what ford will charge you.
if it were me Iād do it myself.
I mean these things are just obnoxiously loud unless you have the factory non-active exhaust. I dont feel the the pop/bangs really make a big difference. I'm getting the feeling that some people here were under the impression that this platform was somehow immune to being modified in this way...
OP you buy an EB because you want the style and the fun but don't care about the speed. an EB convertible is a great summer cruiser.
These are copes, sorry to be rude but this reads like you've never even driven an S550 GT.
You know what also wears the engine and transmission over time? Driving the car at all.
Ford is not gonna put a drive mode on a switch you can access that would reduce the service life of a car that they are warranting.
just pick whatever mode you like and drive with it. Though I will say that...
private sale is hell on earth. The extra 1-2k that you make is simply not worth the hassle, if carvana's offer is good and you're ready to let the car go its a super safe and easy process. I've known a few people who've done it
Steeda parts are notorious for rusting. Contrary to what people think, I have found the biggest thing that rusts cars is parking on grass. The moisture just rots it out so fast. It gets no breaks from the water even in the summer.
My car was a 4 season car for 2 years, and a 3 season car for 2...
LTH do sound really good, I always felt the stock headers sounded a bit "truck like". Definitely the right choice to put other handing related mods above LTH in terms of bang for buck.
Yeah mine are BMR red poly, i can hear it pretty clearly on the highway with the windows up and the radio off. Looking at the design of the Steeda poly inserts i think they'd be a little better.
I changed the fluid and it got slightly less loud but its still there.
