Is this deal a good one?

Maybe, but OP’s in Canada. We really do not know what the used car market is like up there.

True, they have differently configured cars up there. It seems like it should be worse but I suppose it depends on the employment rates right now. Crazy world these days.

You can add adjustable exhaust aftermarket. As much as I love my active exhaust, I now wish I would have installed a Roush active exhaust aftermarket. It's easier to adjust and the tips look better. It is more expensive going Roush though.

I didn't even know that was a thing, I will definitely be looking into that now! thanks a ton

Unless they give you a signed paper saying they will honor the warranty with a tune installed I wouldn’t get it. Yes it might make more horsepower but at the cost of your warranty. Of course it’s up to the dealer to honor the warranty or not if they see a tune on it but I would play it safe and not tune it if you want to keep it.

I will try and see If I can get that in writing because the sales man him self offered to tune it for me for $400 but I rather do my own tune.

Doable but not cheap. You will still need to add the Roush axle back.

Well that sounds just a little bit suspicious. Is the salesman doing this as an agent of the dealer or as a side job? What tune is he using? Might be best to pass on this.

This one is only for 2015-2017 but I get the idea and the rough price, any review about XFORCE Varex exhaust system?

He was doing it as a side job the way he presented it, the last thing I want is to void my warranty though. The tune that was proposed is an SCT X4 just the basic stage 1 tune which I believe I can buy my self and keep the scanner for the same price lol

You have to read the small print.

you absolutely can and the default box tune runs the engine, but is nothing to write home about. If warranty is your primary concern then there is only one answer - ford performance. Your sales guy should have been smart enough to recommend that first, last and forever.

I don't think "smart enough" is quite the right description.
Maybe loyal enough to his dealership/customer?
Or maybe less opportunistic/greedy?
