New to the sho

It might, not sure, but I do believe it is 2.5 bar MAP. CX2231 (3 bar) is the one you should be getting if it is a Motorcraft part and not Ford OEM.

I got the sct x4 tuner I going to have livernois send me tunes and innovative sends me tunes run them both and see which one I like better

 

[SHOdded]

Livernois only tunes using their MyCal tuner , Unleashed and LET will tune using the SCT.

 

[AndrewGanoe32]

I love my sct tuners that's a shame. Down pipes are they worth and what's noise difference between and the stock ones and how about the ones that don't have the cats on them.

 

[SHOdded]

Here's an idea of what mod does how much for you power-wise:

Downpipes usually won't change the sound much, lower it a bit maybe. Catted vs catted, no noticeable difference, other than much less likelihood of smoke out the exhaust when running catted.

 

[AndrewGanoe32]

It's like a 200 dollar differencein the cat and no cat. The isses is will the wife bitch if the nosie a lot different with the no cat down pipes. Next week the car is getting the windows tinted,down pipes,3 bar map sensor,better thermostat, and big tune!! Prob with livernois but I'm torn that they don't use the sct tuner. Sct is the best tuner out there by far, unless you have the vehicle live tuned.

Livernois' tuning device allows more parameters to be tinkered with though...so you sacrifice a cool looking screen for better access to the cars beating heart

Biggest difference I notice from stock downpipes to catless...the little bit of smell, not there all the time, but in certain situations it's there.

Noise wise, startup it sounds mean...and alot more turbo whistle...the wife loves it (I'm a lucky guy)

I know that's why I'm most likely go with the livernois tuning. I want the big power. Just like the route with my powerstroke. My brother in law has an audi s5 v8 and i want to blow the doors off that thing with my sho. He talks so much sh*t about his car he drives me nuts. He won't race the powerstroke from a dead stop like a 1/4 mile drag. But he always comes back all we got to do is get on freeway or go around a turn. I come back well yeah I hope your car would go better on the freeway or around a turn then a 8000lb truck. So I'm hoping my sho will shut him up and smokes his audi.

 

[SHOnUup4]

It's funny he says that about your truck...ask him to hook a 10,000 lb trailer to that audi and then race...lol

[AndrewGanoe32]

Livernois stage 4 tune, 3 bar map sensor, upgraded thermostat, and non catted downpipes on the way!!!!! Windows getting tinted next week!

 

[AndrewGanoe32]

How hard is it to take off your old up pipes and replace them with the non cat up pipes

 

[MerlinsGarage]

Roll coal his a$$.

 

[AndrewGanoe32]

With all the mods that I am going to put on will this be a reliable car? Like will I have any problems taking it on long road trips on anything like that?

I highly doubt it. Only real problem is an affliction brought on by ownersermhip. leadfoot itis. Symptoms are perma grin, sudden outbursts of...oh **** no!.. when passed..if passed? Other side effects are nausea, vomiting, diaherra. Mainly by those left in our dust..muhahaha

Hey guyo need help how do you find the strategy code with the mycal tuner

Pretty sure you plug it in and hold the "n" and up arrow to enter engineering mode...then it should be self explanatory

Hey @SHOnUup4 Rich, I need a job still man you can't steal all my tech support shine!

The looks of the tuning interface are just that, looks. We do not need fancy gauges that are not monitoring anything accurately. They lend nothing to its functionality. We do not allow you to monitor parameters that you cannot control. That is an added unnecessary cost to a tuning interface that we choose to skip.

You simply load our custom tuning calibration and have fun knowing that you are using the best tunes, without the need to keep an eye on a canned tune. Our MyCal tuner features our proprietary processing internals and companion software. We strive to ensure that your tuning experience is worry and hassle free! All the way down to our update software that only has 3 buttons, update tuner, cancel and exit. We know that not everyone is a computer savant so we have to make sure that all of our products cater to the 99% and not just pander to the tech savvy clientele.

Our MyCal tuning interface is a true flash device that holds the best and by far most decorated custom EcoBoost tuning ever. We hold more engineering first, part support and most importantly world records than anyone, period.

We typically recommend going with our Thunderstorm race catted downpipes and/or our Thunderstorm race catted exhaust because of the raw fuel smell that is produced by a cat deletion. So we make sure that we engineer the most efficient cats possible and apply the same caliber of engineering into our exhausts themselves. This way you are not forced to choose performance or comfort. We usually see differences of 1-3 hp from non and race catted. To us, that insanely small variance in power is not worth the headache of being yelled at because the boss smells like she works at an old school filling station. I know that I use that analogy often, but trust me...I've been there and it sucks the big one!

Your car will still be 110% reliable as a DD @AndrewGanoe32 even @bpd1151 with his EcoMonstrosity is a DD! We make sure that even at our most aggressive we are 100% within that "green zone" of the car and ECU's limitations. We will not sacrifice the life or safety of your vehicle just to make a number. That is the reason why we have the blemish-free track record that we have. Could we make more power...without question. Is that worth risking the reputation and respect that we have with our clients, forums, contemporaries and the OE's? NO

I have been driving my car since March 2014 with LME 4+, 4X 3bar, even everyday to work. Car behaves very tame, until you put foot down and then the beast is released. My wife really loves how fast and nasty the car is. I'm eating some crow now too, cause I said never to meth injection, but this winter more of my money is going to LME for the Alky setup.
