I have the ones from the OP's link, and they are definitely brighter than OEM. I was actually surprised how bright lol. I've had them about 4 months and no issues.
I was walking back to the truck from a restaurant, phone in one hand and takeout in the other, and thought "the colors in the sky look cool behind the truck". So I paused just long enough to snap this pic and kept walking. I didn't look at the pic until I got home. The only edit I did was use...
I'm also getting in line for the updated version :) I noticed the included power cable specified that parking mode is not supported. So for that feature I'd need a fuse box power cable, correct? Is there a specific part number I'd need for my 2025 Lariat?
i just came to a stop and waited for auto stop to engage, took my foot off the brake, then went full throttle from idle. It was about .15 quicker that way. I haven’t tried it again since, but I’m going to try both ways when I do get to the track.
I tried my stock Lariat on a back road in "mexico" with a friend's Dragy. I want to take it to the drag strip when the weather is much cooler lol. I had it in Sport Mode and just hit the gas with the Auto Hold engaged. It was actually quicker that way vs building a little RPM on the foot brake.
I will say, on cold startup it’s pretty loud lol. But once the idle settles down it’s really quiet (At least mine is with the two resonators). I need to stand behind it and let someone drive down the road to hear that perspective.
I finally got the chance to contact Thermal again to check on swapping for the newly designed tailpipe section. I had previously spoken with Victor and he was supposed to send me an email with the steps I needed to take. Turns out Victor is no longer at Thermal, so my request must have fallen...
So you had the kit from when the tail section was just a simple pipe right? And now you have the tail section with the resonator (and still the original middle chamber section). The person I originally talked to thought the middle section chamber had also been redesigned, but if you have the...
Thanks for checking. I talked to someone at Thermal, he said the middle resonator is now a three chamber instead of two and the extra one in the tail section is a sound absorber. They did the redesign after some feedback and decided there was still some drone at certain frequencies/rpms. I...
if you get a chance to look I’d be curious to know if your tail pipe section is like this or just a straight pipe like mine. Just comparing experiences :)
Do you have the original design with the single resonator chamber, or the newer one with two? I have the original with the turndown and I get a pretty good drone at part throttle between 1650 and 1950 rpm. It's not terrible, but my wife doesn't like it lol. No issues otherwise.
Has anyone ordered the rubber bed mat from Ford lately? I ordered one just over a month ago and the status still says "In transit to dealer". That seems wild to me. I ordered something else on the same order and it came to the dealer 2 weeks ago.
