So I am “window” shopping upgrades for my FoST, and cant decide what to do first. I am teetering(sp?) between the following three:

I am torn between all 3 of the options.

Think about Konis?

What is up with that exhaust system? Does it really have 4 outlets? Where do the two side ones go? There’s no cutout in the bodywork for them, is there?

I usually do suspension, brakes then power :)
Gotta have some handling & stopping power before you tack on some extra horsepower!

Those are the resonators on the side, you adjust them in and out, and it changes the tone. Very cool.

That exhaust is fucking bonkers.

That is what I am leaning towards, you can have all the power in the world, but if you cant keep your wheels on the ground what good is it. But the exhaust sound would be nice.

Oh, gotcha! They looked like extra exhaust tips to me and I was very confused.

I actually worked on something like that for our Formula SAE racecar, because they test the dB level at a certain RPM, so we designed a resonator that would drastically cut sound but only at that RPM. It never did get implemented, too late in the season, and then they changed the rules the following year.

I forgot about the konis.

Put my Boomba in last night. It’s so nice.

Yeah the first time I saw them I thought the same about the same 4 outlets

do you notice any false knock with it? From reading the focusst.org forums a few members have had issues.

Coty > buford-t-justice

Not that I’ve noticed, but I’m 50 miles into it. Just tons of vibes until it breaks in.

Get an upgraded FMIC before you do any performance mods or tuning. Those 2.0 EB engines heatsoak like mother fucker.

Suspension

Cp-e has a nice fmic too. Either way for the parts I am going to drive down to Ogdensburg. Shipping to Canada is expesnive, drive to Odgensburg plus kinex fees is a lot cheaper. I found a site for the turbo back, around 200 usd.

I may or may not have been stalking a lot of Fusion forums because I may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with wanting that vehicle.

Anyways, the most recommended FMIC I saw on those forums were from Levels Performance. Apparently the guys builds them to order so they take a little longer to ship, but they’re really high quality. Makes them for the FoST and just about any other Ford 2.0 application.

I forgot about the Levels IC’s, and its like half the price of the cpe

What about a proper LSD? I hear it makes a world of difference.

That’s down the line, likely when I get a FW and a clutch. Dont want to pull that shit out again if I don’t have too.

This is true! I think you’ll notice the handling more than the exhaust no?

I think I would, I have pretty much decided on the suspension, be my first modification on the FoST, other than the tint.
