Hello to all,
I just purchased a new 2018 mustang gt with 301A and performance pack.
couldnt find one around me with same options but having active exhaust, so can i just purchase it from somewhere and then just replace the stock one?
and is there a e85 kit for the 2018 i see people have them but cant get info on who makes them.
thanks for any help i can get.

From all the tuning companies only thing needed to run e85 is the tune. This is as long as you have the stock intake manifold. Palm Beach Dyno, Lund, and Vmp all say the same.

Agree no need to change injectors with stock manifold for E85. A word of advice from someone who just went through it. Some Coyote engines are having issues and Ford is doing short block replacements. Only do the tune or tune and CAI and keep the stock air box. That way if there is an issue swapping back to stock is easy. Also with the tune a Bob's automotive catch can would be a good idea. They are simple to install.

so all i need is a tune and i can run e85? no other parts needed.

Is it the piston slap issue that's causing scoring on cylinder walls? I'm hoping it all goes well. is there a range for affected build dates so far?

With a tune only you should be GTG. Not sure about the piston slap issue or build dates. Ford is having problems with this engine. So anything you do make sure it is easily reversible. Hell out the box the 18 GT performance is awesome.
