I strongly believe he meant paint protection film.

HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS RESONATOR DELETE? IT LOOKS MUCH CHEAPER THAN MOST COMPETING OPTIONS (WHICH IM NOT SURE IS A GOOD THING).

Not to be rude, but there are several stickies and you can search on the catch cans that people have found useful as well as many threads on exhaust. You can do a small bit of reading and find all the answers you are looking for.

I went with the Ford Performance catch can, it's been great and very easy to install. I got both the passenger and drivers side as they were offering a discount if you bought both.

I'm so jealous of this thread.
I went to PremierMotors today in Hayward. They have a beautiful 2017 GT350 listed for 60K flat. They wouldn't even let me test drive it without giving a verbal commitment that I was buying it immediately after the test drive. He even said, "like not that you would be thinking about it, but you're ready to do it today".
I just don't get the business model - "don't give anyone a chance to fall in love with it by test driving it".
I guess I'll keep looking for private owners that maybe show a bit more reason.

Keep looking! I had some issues with my car when I first got it (I live in FL but found it in AZ for $45k 24k miles back in February). I had a new transmission put in and the dealership may be on the hook for a new engine since they botched the oil change.. However, I chalk this up to a bad dealer experience, the car is phenomenal and I love driving it. I didn't plan it being my daily but it sure is now (when the weather cooperates).
Buy used if its still under warranty, it'll save you some money (brand new ones will be extremely expensive right now).

If you walk in with a pre approval from your bank you should be able to convince them to let you test drive. Having money to give on the spot changes the attitude, or at least it should. No good business owner// manager would let money walk out the door.
In short, strolling into a dealer asking for a test drive; vs walking in with the money to buy on the spot makes a huge difference in the mind of a sales manager.

I would have been buying cash most likely (and told them such). Didn't seem to make much difference. Could have easily just opened a banking app and shown them.

Sometimes you have to do that. It sucks because you shouldn't have to. But you can get lucky with a reasonable manager when you show them an amount of proof beyond "your word"

Wow, thank you so much! I'll PM you to keep from derailing this thread further. I'd be happy to pay you $50 or something for a 15-30 min ride (like you said, with you in the car as well).not sure your timeline...but I will have mine in SJC about 2-3 weeks. you are welcome to romp around a bit in it, as long as I get to go along for the ride

I would say, depends on your warranty status...I got a ration of chit from my dealer about the JLT can I have, but I nicely pointed out that Ford Performance sells the same dam thing.
he was unimpressed, but since this was for a water pump issue he “let it slide”
so i vote for the FP option....just in case
