    Dorman back up camera

    Don't get the Dorman one, their electrical parts are extremely hit or miss. My suggestion would be either get a used OEM one from a lower mileage wrecked vehicle, or bite the bullet and get a new OEM one. Mine on my 13 Flex died a couple years ago, and I picked up a used OEM one from another...

    Exhaust upgrades?

    Yea, I've considered changing the mufflers out to something that's still very quiet, but has different tip options. The chrome tips on the Flex get dirty instantly, and I'd rather have something in black probably, but haven't really come up with any good options. Also, a slightly smaller muffler...

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    I just assumed that article for for a Taurus since you linked it, but I see it's for an Explorer. The Flex has a saddle tank yes. The Flex would be setup the same as that article then.

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    Does the DW pump replace the factory fuel pump then or are you guys adding a transfer pump to replace the siphon side? Also, if I am going to upgrade the turbos eventually, wouldn't it be better to just hold out for the XDI-60 pump to run E-85 if I'm not going to do E30+?

    Exhaust upgrades?

    I would say the SHO guys probably have the benefit of less worry about drone in the cabin compared to the Flex guys as well. I know one of the big complains on the Flex side is drone when modifying the exhaust. Also, the other big complaint was opening the liftgate at idle causing some drastic...

    Brake upgrades beyond the 13+ HD brakes?

    I don't blame you at all when they are that expensive. I tell people that even the metal skid plates won't always save you either. I had a Jetta TDI that was lowered with a metal skid plate on it that I ran over a chunk of ice and dented the skid plate into the oil pan and cracked it. I would...

    Exhaust upgrades?

    The resonator is the only thing I've ever caught on the Flex, but that's because it hangs quite a bit lower than everything else does. I've been looking at/listening to exhausts over on the Flex forum and have yet to hear one that doesn't sound like a Nissan 3.5 (dying cow). lol

    RIP belly tray :( Like mentioned earlier, this is my wife's daily driver and our road trip vehicle year-round.

    Pretty sure it's the saddle tank. Also, I'd assume if I'm not changing the HPFP there's not a reason to change the LPFP?

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    Oh for sure if I upgraded the turbos it would get the XDI-35 at minimum. I know it would be useful for feeding a larger turbo setup. For the stock turbos though it seems to only be useful if you're wanting to run E-30+, which I won't be as I don't want to mix fuels. My question was more if there...

    Brake upgrades beyond the 13+ HD brakes?

    Gotcha, so it would still require a change of winter wheels and tires. I feel like if I was going to do the 4-piston setup it would be better to go all in with the 6-piston and do the rears too.

    Exhaust upgrades?

    Gotcha, that makes sense then.

    Exhaust upgrades?

    Yes, but I don't have any issues catching the underbody shield. Can you not run the underbody shield with the PPE downpipes?

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    Yeah, I figured the stock pump was maxed on bigger turbos, that makes sense. I'm just referring to if the upgraded pump was needed for anything besides E30+ on stock turbos. It's making sense why I'm not seeing much for E85 setups on this vehicles due to the cost to run it. Again, I'm curious...

    Exhaust upgrades?

    Since this is on a Flex I'd imagine I won't have ground clearance issues with the downpipes.

    Brake upgrades beyond the 13+ HD brakes?

    The 4 piston calipers still require a 19" wheel though correct?

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    The XDI-35 just allows for E30+ I'm assuming, but to run E85 you need the XDI-60? Seems like a ton of work and cost to run E85. Has anyone run E85 on the stock turbos to see how much power you'd get out of it compared to just running 91? It's sounding like the only other upgrade that would be...

    Exhaust upgrades?

    Glad to hear the downpipes are worth it! Curious to see what the exhaust will look and sound like when PPE completes it. Paul mentioned that they would be offering it soon. :)

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    The turbo options available don't really seem size-wise that they would really make much more power that it would be worth it. I'll be doing the catless downpipes for sure, and am looking into the intercooler.
