What did you do to your 5th Gen?

Finally got around to installing the K&N intake, also did the BOVs and Weather Tech Matts. Love the way it all sounds. To me personally the BOV sound is not loud at all, I haven't heard them from outside the car. But, from inside with the radio on you can't hear them. As far as the intake goes, it's pretty nice, easy to install and it allows you to hear the turbos spooling up now. Love it!

Took the Ex in to the dealer for the front windows chattering when window is rolled down tsb. 1st problem with the Ex. since we purchased it in March of '13:thumbsup:.
 






Installed the tow hitch rebar and tow/haul button in the dash. Next is the trans cooler!
 






Did this a couple of weekends ago but am looking at exhaust options and don't really like the sound of the bolt on exhaust kits they have for the NA 3.5. So I started the easy way.. Removed the HUGE resonator.

The exhaust note is so minimal, I only hear a change in the exhaust note on a cold start.. A little disappointed so think I am going to leave the exhaust alone for now.
 






Got my LMS 93 tune done and holy hell it screams now. Otherwise bone stock '15 Sport with 13k miles. Got it brand new and it's like driving another car now!

Thanks!

e. I've actually been lurking for months. Just finally gathered the courage to follow through with tuning.
 












Fixed one of my LED lis plate lights...was flickering
 






Installed The Aeroforce gauge - Rubbing boards- Thinkware dash cam
 






This was about a week ago. I know, i'm slacking....LoL

Installed these bumper reflector lights: (I know it's dirty, but it's clean now....LoL)
 






Also installed a DashCam. After some research, I choose to spend a little more and get a nice Cam. I choose the Street Guardian SG9665GC with the 64GB card. Video and sound quality both are great in the daytime and night time. I'll get some pics next time i go out. Will have to figure out how to upload videos to provide a demo....LoL

Limo tint all the way around on my new 15 EX

Hey I'm also considering an exhaust for my 16 Limited. Did you notice any power/fuel improvements from removing that giant resonator?

Welcome to the Forum.:wavey:
Did you give up trying to get the parts for the '95? Do you still have it as your profile shows?
If not please update your profile with the 2015 Explorer and 'trim' level (Base, XLT, etc) or add it to your signature so we know what you have when replying to future posts. Enjoy your new ride.:):thumbsup:

There might be slightly better throttle response but no improvement in MPG's.

New to the Forum - Looking to upgrade

Hello all, new to the Forum

image_1.jpg


Added black grill and new rims.

Adding Westin Running Boards tomorrow

Looking to add Magnaflow exhaust soon which brings me to my question. Everywhere I look they are $970.37 (eBay, Amazon, Google Shopping) they are all the same price. Does anyone know where to get them cheaper?

Thank you in advance.
