  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

For those under warranty, what have you done to your Genny? I have a 1st gen 5.0 that I'm looking to tinker with

Sounds like exhaust is clear if I leave the catalytic converter. Got a quote for $800 for a catback magnaflow build or $200 for muffler removal and resonator swap. Thoughts?
 
It's a shame the Dynomax VTs are discontinued. That would have been my next mod.
As for performance, R2C makes a CAI and Magnaflow and Borla make a catback exhaust.
The 5.0 ECU is still a W.I.P. so nothing new yet. Until that happens real tuning isn't possible.

OTOH the 2017 Explorer Sport I just bought my wife has gobs of mods. Livernois will be hearing from me soon. Just hope the wife doesn't notice the added power. :)
 
Correction: got a hard quote of $500 for single piped dual stainless resonators and magnaflow mufflers

Do you have the R2C? Seems legit, unfortunately currently out of stock on their site
