Yes, eco power parts has hot pipes and inlet pipes. Only do their intake all others do not help at all as the factory air box flows more than enough air. If you're going to tune it i would just do the noise maker and hot pipes.

You can modify the air filter box and get a 3 degree drop in air inlet temps. There's a YouTube video posted on how to do it. I don't know of any aftermarket inlet system that have a proven drop in air inlet temps. I like the Gearhead tune, it allows the use of just about any grade of fuel without fear of spark knock.

Man, I’m sorry to sound dumb, but can you elaborate on what you call the “noise maker pipe” please? Appreciate you guys. This forum has proven to be so dope for me. I’ve learned so much about my car from everyone here.

I’m learning too don’t worry! From what I understand it literally air goes into the noise maker to make it sound louder? Everyone deletes it. I’m positive there’s no pros to it, it’s just not needed.

These newer engines are quiet. They decided to put a intake attachment that uses the violent air to literally make noise and rattle so you think you're hearing manly engine noises, but your not...
They did similar with the mustangs, they piped in noise from the intake lmao...

Only thing worse I can think of is ev's with fake engine sounds.

Did it cook the bearings?
It’s crank driven, so when it leaks, water goes into the oil. It’s a poor design, new parts will last another 100k. I think the majority of them fail around 100-130k from what I see. Techs at my shop found coolant around some components

I was referring to the main bearings and rod bearings. Usually catching the weeping water pump will save them. When most replace the pump, they replace the timing chains, guides, and tensioners as a while you are there kind of thing.

Your quoted price of $5300 is extremely steep for a job like that, esp if the bearings are okay.

Bearings looked good on the cam, no milk for oil (it was probably coming though) cam bearings good, turbo bearings had play. They increased that price for insurance. That price was for parts too

I wouldn't post that second sentence on a public forum honestly. Hopefully the fix is simple, and you get it back on the road quickly.
