Same here….

I "THINK" the tide is ebbing. Fingers crossed...

You never know! Lots of CA folks moving to TX. Happened with us massholes moving to NH. It's a communicable disease....

Unreal. I guess companies like Escort, V1 and Uniden will have to update their detector databases with exhaust decibel locations to help us stay quiet when need be....

I was able to insure my 2025 with Hagerty without issue. I'm wondering if you selected too much annual mileage? I initially said 5k and it kicked it back as "higher than average." Changed it to 4k and it went through without issue (which in reality is plenty for me.) Saved me about $350 over...

The newer M1 chip MACs don't support Windows on Bootcamp. If you have an older Intel chipped MAC, you can install Windows with Bootcamp. There are some VM ways to run Windows on an M1 MAC like Parallels but I've never used them so I can't tell you how easy or hard that is. It might be simpler to...

You can install Windows for free on a separate partition on your MAC with bootcamp IF you have an older MAC. It's no longer supported though so I can't do it on my new one. Alternatively, a sub $200 windows tablet would get it done as well.

FORScan is free to download and you get a free 2 month extended license every two months if you want to keep using it. The only expense is a OBD2 adapter. I use the BT OBDLINK MX+ but currently FORScan is recommending the wired EX. Both are available on Amazon. Here is the FORScan site...

Some cars have ANC with no ESE and like my wife's Nautilus. I had to unplug the ANC mic's (didn't have the FORScan value for Lincoln) when adding a sub and amp to shut of the sounds it added to the cabin so they wouldn't be amplified by the aftermarket equiptment. Not engine sounds of course but...

I can next time I'm in there. I have to go back in at some point to turn on the auto lock toggle so I can prevent the car from auto locking in motion. Not sure how well it would show up on a phone recording but I would try. I am an Apple guy and FORScan is Windows only so I have it on a separate...

I wish I did. To be honest, I was on the phone with my buddy in TN who is an absolute FORScan guru making a bunch of changes. So, I was just entering values as fast as he was reeling them off to disable things that annoyed me. I wasn't even sure the ESE would make that big of a difference or any...

To answer questions, yes it's true. I wouldn't believe it either but I've shut off the ESE (Engine Sound Enhancement) with FORScan and the difference is noticeable. There is a thread in the FORScan area here on the forums that explains how to do it. The APIM is the "Accessory Protocol Interface...

Well, active exhaust is still really cool. I don't regret the option at all. That snap/pop when you let off the clutch with the valves open is always great too. I just don't think they needed to add to it. Sounds great as is. The way my wife described the difference was this. Before I shut off...

LOL, it does sound much better with it on. I have to admit that. It's like sausage. You don't want to know how it's made. Just that it tastes good.... 🙃

It's coming through your audio whether your system is on or not. Ford did a really good job of hiding it through the APIM but it's always there. I'm not saying it's not sounding great outside the vehicle and I love how mine sounds! I'm just saying, what you're hearing inside is modified...

I am a big fan of the active too. I had captain's call on a boat once and have electric cutouts on my 1970 GTO. So, getting the option was a no brainer for me. However, one thing I didn't see mentioned in this thread is that despite popular belief, the fake exhaust sound through the audio system...

Good, glad it works for you!

https://www.partner.ford.com/en-US Use code eaa01 to log in. It will give you Xplan pricing when you build and price which is within a couple hundred dollars of invoice.

Just picked up a PP car that was on the lot because of a canceled special order. Details are in my sig but as to pricing, I did XPlan (so invoice basically) and got a 750 Ford loyalty rebate. Plus saved about $500 on doc fees due to X. Employee pricing is done currently but did get 0% for 48.

Well, by that logic riding a 100hp quad all out or a 200hp sled at full throttle is a no no. Never mind crotch rocket street bikes. I think the OP was more interested in any complications that don't end in a rare crash but that's just my guess.
