    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    After hearing Ecoboost vehicles with cat-backs I am most definitely not sold on it sounding anything good, especially on the Flex where resonance can be a real problem due to the interior open space. I think doing the catless downpipes and leaving it stock would be best. The turbos will stay...

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    Sure, the fill might last a while, but my question would be how would that integrate properly with the ECU control? The only time it seems to be worth using methanol injection is if you tune the car to run it, otherwise there's really no benefit it seems. If the pump or injectors were to fail...

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    E30+ I would say is out then. Unless I can just pump fuel into it mixing fuels ain't gonna happen. I'm not worried about cleaning the intake valves honestly. I just did the first manual cleaning on them a couple weeks back, and I highly doubt the small bit of methanol is going to do anything to...

    Exhaust upgrades?

    I've had good luck with doing it in the past with DEI's stuff. Also, I have a feeling the underbody shield hangs lower on the Flex than it does the SHO. If the wrap doesn't work out I'll just have a local place coat them. I'm not sure if I'm super concerned about them being wrapped or coated...

    Engine upgrades - anything I'm missing?

    I actually have the PPE catless downpipes ordered and they should be shipping next week. Won't be running methanol injection on this one, it's the wife's daily driver and need to keep things easily managed without giving her another thing she needs to check and keep track of, plus I'm not sure...

    Between the dual intake and hot pipes kit all of the plastic pipes have been replaced with metal pipes and silicone couplers.

    Besides that information, it's also what Unleashed recommended to use with their tuning.

    Brake upgrades beyond the 13+ HD brakes?

    I actually have the red Powerstop calipers on the vehicle now, and have had them on it for about 70,000 miles now. No issues besides the finish wearing off them, but this thing gets driven year round in the salt too.

    Brake upgrades beyond the 13+ HD brakes?

    Just put my order in through Rockauto for the front and rear Z37 brake pad kits, Powerstop red brake calipers, and R1 Concepts black cross drilled and slotted rotors. I didn't need the calipers as I already have them, but mine are getting pretty corroded and crappy looking, so instead of getting...

    Exhaust upgrades?

    I put in my order with PPE for the catless downpipes minus the ceramic coating option. I will use header wrap and wrap them myself instead. They were actually just finishing up a batch of the headers and had 1 set remaining that hadn't been sold, so I purchased the last set. Should ship out next...

    Posting over from the Ford Flex forum, so some of this may be different. Here's my current setup - Monroe Heavy Duty Police Interceptor front struts Motorcraft Police Interceptor front upper strut mounts Monroe Police Interceptor front strut bellows kits Monroe Police Interceptor front lower...

    Is there a certain vendor that sells them?

    Exhaust upgrades?

    Alright, with that being said, it seems like I would be best to just go to catless downpipes and leave the rest of the exhaust stock. Everyone over on the Flex forum has noted that their one regret was changing the exhaust, as it doesn't sound "good" when opening it up, plus there was a lot of...
