Stock Dyno Run (pre bolt-on mods) w/ 2024 Dark Horse! Great #’s

[MRI204]

That is the one thing I have concerns about. Don't get me wrong, I love a decent V8 rumble but the Kooks AND the H Pipe might be a little much, EVEN in Quiet Mode with the AVE

And I who feared the opposite instead

Can't go wrong with the mods you added.... but just adding an X or an H-pipe on these cars really is a perfect balance imho in terms of loudness. Great build so far btw..

What are the gains after the install?

Yeah, I spoke with the Lethal guys. Would have been a nightmare getting all the stuff I wanted to order to Canada so I'm going through the local Steeda.CA guys who can get my stuff across for me with no muss, no fuss and no freight forwarder (for me).

Lethal Performance would not take my money as I live in Canada something to do with the way their computer program is set up.

They have ways around that if you work with one of them directly HOWEVER it does require you to have a freight forwarder and that isn't something I want to F with again.

Pretty awesome, but am I missing something? 1% TQ loss?

just got it back today. Going to drive it a little to let the ECU “self tune” and then take it back.

So, I got the car back today. Sounds INCREDIBLE. Only hiccup was the Kooks LT don’t match perfectly to the Corsa Extreme system. You have to buy the 3” converter from Kooks or you’ll have a severe choke point.

so the car sounds straight NASCAR at WOT but normal driving is mild. Very manageable for sure. Cold starts are definitely loud. I haven’t set up the quiet start yet but plan on that tomorrow and I’ll share the difference.

Going to drive it some before taking it back to Dyno. But honestly I was hoping for some noticeable butt Dyno readings, and I’m not really getting that. Actually, if anything I kind of feel more of a lag than before. Not super thrilled about that. Idk if I’m just being crazy. Maybe tomorrow will be better. And or maybe it just sounds so damn incredible my ears are telling me I should be going wayyy faster than I am.

either way the combo is great and absolutely no drone. Happy thus far. Will post dyno numbers in a couple weeks. Cheers!

I do want to try the steeda X or H pipe. I can't decide which because I want both of the characteristics each offers. Maybe I'll get both and swap them every few weeks

I dunno about LTH, Not sure I could handle the car being even louder.

You got the LTH w/ the cats, Have you had any CEL yet? did you use an anti-fouler?

Sorry to hear about more lag. I found my car more laggy lately as well. I wonder if ford pushed a PCM update to the throttle mapping? it's a bit better in sport mode, but I stay out of track mode.

When you make the car that much louder it's going to feel slower. It's a myth that you're losing low end torque or missing the backpressure etc etc

Put some earplugs etc in and drive it, it will feel faster.

update - been driving for a few weeks now and I can say, the lag is gone. It legitimately feels quicker than before. It must be true, the new ECUs will to a certain degree tune themselves when certain bolt on’s are added.

I haven’t taken back to the dyno yet but will soon. I’ve been waiting on the JLT CAI to come out and add to it but I’m about done waiting. May go with something else or just take it back to see what the exhaust did

overall though, butt Dyno approved!
