Yep, keeping it stock. I like the sound of track mode and the option of quiet mode. Once I get it back, I'll shoot a few clips. Cant guarantee a drive by though. It cold here in NJ

Sorry for the delay guys… so my install is stuck until next week. My factory connect pipes were messed up from kooks. Looks like the machine was out of spec when they went thru manufacturing. They were awesome when we called and are sending out the right pipes. So hopefully some results mid next week. I did get my baseline pulls done at least and they had me smiling.

You're supposed to use the stock clamps I thought? The pipes won't go over the resonator.

The OD of the connector pipes they sent me were off from the 2 1/4 they were supposed to be. SO even with the stock clamp smashed all the way tight it wouldn't have sealed right and I would have had an exhaust leak. The new pipes come in Tuesday of this week.

Was that Track Mode in your clip? I'm dying to hear mine. This has been such a PITA process lol

Yes, I only drive the car in Track Mode Exhaust setting. For me, the headers, cats and tune has really transformed the car in terms of mid-range performance and obviously sound. I think you'll really enjoy yours.

I'm hoping to have mine back by Thursday. Having them do a post dyno as well. Completely stock I pulled 438hp (yes all dynos read diff < for the haters). My Wengerd tune has been chillin on the car. So ready for the first rip.

I'm about to take mine to an exhaust shop to expand the Switchfire 2.75" side to 3" to mate it together with my Kook's 3" connect pipes with some 3" coupler clamps. I still have a pretty significant exhaust leak in the center section on the clamp due to the Switchfire not being 3" which I'm kind of annoyed at Borla for stating it's a 3" system when in reality its 2.75" to match the GT500 OEM size off the headers to re-use those clamps.

I'd rather not weld onto the Switchfire because it couldn't be removed easily in the future.


What's even more frustrating is after all this time and now I found this:

3" x 2-3/4" SS OEM Connection Adapter. 2020 Mustang GT500 5.2L. | Kooks Headers & Exhaust

This should connect right up to the Switchfire with a Torca coupler.

100% stock to Tuned with Headers. Working on burning off the rest of my tanks of 93 so I can switch to my E85 tune. I’m going to record my cold start tomorrow for the sound clips.

Is that 2 separate pulls, one baseline, one with headers or both with headers?
Torque looks close enough on both, but HP makes me think baseline without then after install

100% stock for pull #1 and then headers and a 93 tune for #2. Also note they weren’t done on the same day due to part issues.

I'll post under below Thread.
A10 or 6sp?
