Sublime302's build thread!

[Sublime302]

You have had the car for like 5 minutes and you have already done more than me. Looking good though. The exhaust definitely wakes the car up doesn't it?

LOL yeah. i move quick. The offroad x and sportlines go on friday morning. ill take a photoshoot and video when its done and washed.

Yeah i love the exhaust on it! cant wait for offroad and springs though.

What do you guys do with new 2013's.. Do you leave it catted with the stock pipe, or risk losing your warranty by tuning it and putting an offroad pipe on it?

Ford said if i take the cats off it voids the whole warranty. I want offroad exhaust though....

If you want warranty keep your cats man. If not, go offroad, tune and have a blast.

My luck is, i take the cats off and tune it. the car blows up lol. I have horrible luck with things like that. Im just scared to do the wrong thing and regret it. wish i could do offroad without tuning it like on my last car. never hurt it at all.

Someone told me i can take some resonators off and it will help with the tone. is that in the other piece of the catback in between the midpipe and axleback?

 

[Midnight11]

yea it will be deeper with no resonators just will pop under shifts

Okay cool. Saw them on stangmods. ill get those next.

So removing those will get the popping under shifts? I like that.

You can just cut them out and weld pipe straight in. Nothing needed to buy

How do you know where to cut? i didnt see any specific area to know where to chop out

You'll be able to tell the difference in piping. It's pretty easy to see

Mikey knows resonator's better than anyone! We could make you the DRGTG "designated resonator go to guy". It could be an additional duty, like when you were active! Everyone loves additional duties!

How did you go about masking off the rear valence for dip? I took a look at mine, and am concerned that there isn't a good place to stop taping off and let the dip build up for a clean line.

its not 100% perfect by any means. but nobody has yet to notice the line lol. i made it really even. Not sure man. i just picked somewhere. lol. pics below. best i have up close.

Lowered it today with Sportlines, camber bolts, adj phb.

 

[TenSpeed]

That is really coming together nicely!! Looks so good lowered and wingless.
