Installed new 5 star tuner!

[Deadman]

Then I run e30 with water meth. Bye bye Hahahah most ppl that buy these new ones seem to be afraid to tune them since they’re so damn expensive. There’s a few on here that live life in the fast lane. I haven’t seen any tuned expeditions or Navi’s here in Virginia Beach. F150s I’m sure there’s a few and some raptors maybe

Then the 18+ does the same and you are in the rearview mirror again, its endless.....

Looks like that Hennessy navigator isn't really complex and could be duplicated in stages.the borla exhaust doesn't sound bad though not listed for the expidition. I may check on that.
If I didn't live in florida I'd have a 4x4 but the locking different will do fine for me.I think the guys could tune this thing with mods as well as henesee maybe better.

But let’s be serious, who’s taking a $80k tank and doing all that?? Nobody... CAI/drop in filter, tuner, let her rip!

I agree completely, but you act as if yours was inexpensive! You probably have more in yours than an 18+ after all the stuff you listed in your signature. Not a big deal, but you fall under the same category as the rest of us in here!

On a serious note, I'm looking for a quiet intake before I tune mine. I just don't want to listen to a bunch of intake noise.

Just found out the borla is putting the finishing touches on an exhaust system for the 2018 and 19 Ford expedition it will probably be market-ready in about 2 months

Cool. I wonder what they expect the gains to be. Any idea on cost?

 

[Grey ghost]

Not sure on either but borla make one for the navigator that Hennessy uses there is a u tube video

Probably only for the SWB, not the Max

Negligible unless you tune it to make the most of it

5 star said with a cat back they normally don't re tune. They thought about 5 horsepower but I think that's pessimistic. It will likely be in the thousand dollar range so I may just pass

Now that being said, throw some SPD turbo adapters, a set of 3” catted DPs from SPD and a 3” exhaust and now you’re talking about

But then you have to listen to that "V-6 Racket".....
I'm always amazed at the power these things make on the factory muffler...

Factory muffler is perfectly fine, yes. If you want some deeper tones, chop that rear resonator off and throw a tip on it and have it as an axle dump. Nice little growl on start up and no rattle whatsoever when flooring it. It’s not a V8 but definitely sounds like a beefy v6

It seems like with the tune it sounds better, not sure if it's my mind or not.
The volant cold air box does seem to give more intake growl for lack of a better term than before the tune.

Yeah Thts because the box is open. I love the sound of my 16 with the rear res delete, K&n CAI and tune.

 

[Grey ghost]

No the volant box is sealed so it doesn't take in hot under hood air. It's one of a couple brands that offer a sealed intake. But it does flow we'll.

 

[Grey ghost]

I may try the resonator delete. I've heard good things of the cat down pipes

Oh sweet, yeah when I bought my K&n it was either them or scareraid. Now I see s&b makes a covered version but I’ve got really thick weather stripping and a pre filter on my K&n and it works well

 

[Grey ghost]

NOTHING Wrong With k&N , I Saw Afe Had A Dual Pipe System I Really Liked AND Ordered One From Summit For An F150 IT Arrived AND One Tube Didn't fit. So I called afe and they had that unit for the expidition but it was twice the price. So I called summit and the guy said somebody there bought an expidition and volant made a really nice system so that's how I came across that.it's a nice unit I'm very happy with it.

I have a 5star for a month now, currently 89oct tow installed. ngauge. Datalogging seems disabled, but in the "gauge" mode I can still log a run. Got a csv file and sent to 5star a couple of days ago. Should I expect an answer? For what do I look for in the file? There is a "Knock(deg)" column, range from 0 to -2.8. What else?

Thanks
