Nice!

If they do an S650 short block in the future, are you thinking of going full built? Or keeping it street legal?

I'd definitely look into it! This is my daily driver to work and all so I would have to get a 2nd car for the 2hrs of commute I do daily.

Took some pics this weekend of the ride. Will be pre-ordering the fog lights and Steeda lowering springs.

Was bored and photoshopped the Diode Dynamics Fog Lights on my ride.

Not yet. I did do some research and I may go with the Magnaflow exhaust instead. I found some videos of 2024 ecoboosts with different Borla systems and it does make the car sound a little too raspy. I'm also not a fan of how Borla forces the customer with changing the valance in order to fit the quad tips they are doing in their system.

I did have a Magnaflow catback system on my Ford Fusion 2.5L and it sounded pretty good. I'll update my build notes and switch to Magnaflow. Below is vid of the Magnaflow catback I had. There is some traffic noise in the background but not too much. Since this was freshly installed you can also here some little crackling which did go away.

Ohhh got you, sorry, I misread and thought it said you had it already. Magnaflow sounds pretty good, i've seen a few guys put it on their 24 and I like it, I just like more louder thats why I'll be going with borla, exactly ford performance extreme, I wanted borla atak but Idk, need more soundsclips other than the ones they posted themselves, can't find anyone who has gotten it yet :(

All good. I had it listed on the upcoming section of my mods. Btw, I heard getting the Ford Perf. Extreme by Borla is probably the way to tbh. The ATAK sounds clip posted by Borla leave much to be desired for sure. I believe the Ford one does sound a bit more aggressive.

 

[viking805fan]

I found this clip of a 2024 Ecoboost with the Borla ATAK and sounds way too raspy.



I'ma see if I can find one with the Ford Perf. one

Yeah thats one of the ones i was watching, but apparently the quad tip 2024 version sounds way better and deeper? from what i heard. Literally I have yet to meet someone who got it, seems like no one is buying them lol. extreme sounds pretty good, I know someone who has it and apparently even the tone is a little bit different than borlas

The one that was posted on reddit sounds a little bit weird compared to the one on youtube tbh so idk
