Haha I mean I don’t know if I would say that. But it is certainly enough to be a fun and quick car.

Unknown-brand catless header and Agency Power Cat-back.

I think I posted it in the description of one of my videos. Basically just two “Total Flow” ebay mufflers with 304 stainless tips! Sounded great in person.

@@ShiftyIntentions sounds so good

I had no clue this was the case, thanks for the correction. The dealer I purchase from had it listed in the description by accident. I think I assumed it was correct because it came with the Apple Carplay/ Android auto.

Unfortunately I don’t remember for sure. Think it may have been a 2006. They only made this Yellow color for a couple years.

Thanks man! I like this colorway a lot, but my favorite was the actually the dark purple/red with red wheels. Think it may have only been available in like ‘94-‘95. I never find them!

Fake engine noises?

@@ShiftyIntentions yeah the ones they pipe in through the speakers. I had to disconnect the 2 rear mics when I added an amp. It really made it unbearable.

@@vernonpaigejr.1517 weird. Do they only do that with the Convertible? I never noticed anything like that on my 2019 Coupe (car in this video).

@@ShiftyIntentions that's a good question. I have no clue. I do like it though. Super very good on gas.

Haha there is always the option of “not shitting on anyone.” Lots of different reasons why someone might want or need an Ecoboost rather than the V8. Is it a better car? Absolutely not. But it’s still a good car 🤘

The 10 Speed is a great auto for sure. Just not really for me. 🤙

He had a lot of work into the car. Essentially any supercharger system makes 700HP on a Coyote though, so choose whatever system you want and bolt it on.

Glad I could help 🤙

Thank you for mentioning this! I always wondered, but never had concrete numbers to be sure. We were very surprised back when I made this video. The Jeep looked damn cool in person haha. We are onto a Gladiator Rubi now though 🤙

@@ShiftyIntentions Cool !! Yeah.. i'm trying to figure out what lift to get. It's tough. Was thinking about getting a take off rubicon suspension, but that probably wouldn't be enough lift.. I guess unless I got one off the eco diesel !! Not many of those around though.

@@GoldenK9Campers I did park right next to a regular rubicon once and remember our Jeep only being about 1” taller. Most of that was the 3/4” spacers I think. With Rubi suspension and 3/4” spacers you could run 35s with no problem.

@@ShiftyIntentions Yeah.. that might be what I decide to do. I was looking at the AEV 2" spacers but I think i'd be better off with Rubicon take off shocks and springs, and then just a small body lift.

@@GoldenK9Campers agreed! Sounds like a good route forward. Plus the Rubi takeoffs will work perfectly and don’t change the driving dynamics of the vehicle much at all.

Mine was somewhere around 3200 lbs IIRC. Not too far off!

Yeah these are direct injection engines so ultimately they’ll need the valves cleaned every so often to keep carbon from building up on them. It would have been nice if Ford had done a Hybrid of Port/Direct injection like Subaru does with the FA-series of engines.

Thanks! This was a fun experiment haha

Unfortunately I don’t have this bike anymore and I do not remember the dimensions. I just ordered this battery on either Ebay or Amazon using the factory part number that I found online.

Sounds about right!

Nice work! The soapy water definitely helps. Learned that from Greg @TheCarPassionChannel many years ago!

Very fun cars!

If you use the same red ones I did, it’ll work perfectly. I believe these from Amazon would work, but I can’t confirm until I get home from work! a.co/d/d1fLmDx

Thanks!

Enjoy the car!

Yeah I didn’t originally film it with shorts in mind, but it works okay. I always forget to film in portrait.

Duncan appreciates that haha

Technically this is only about a 3/4” lift over a stock Rubicon. The 4” lift is compared with a base sport model on stock All Season road tires. Some of this lift comes directly from the taller 33” tires too. I believe stock rubicons can fit 35s, but it may impact your suspension travel when off-roading a bit. Would definitely be fine for a mostly street-driven Wrangler. I’d say go for it. If you want to do a lot of off-roading without rubbing fenders, it might be better to run 33s

Thanks!

Nahh I have run events with Gridlife, KMiata, and some other smaller private events without issue. You should also be fine with this bar in SCCA and NASA novice classes. You might have issues running intermediate or advanced with those two specific organizations. Lots of organizations allow it without issues though. In fact I would say most other orgs won’t bat an eye. Especially with the optional petty bar installed.

Thanks for mentioning this. Somehow I forgot to put a link in the description. This is what I used: TotalFlow 20319 universal 3” mufflers. a.co/d/5rNLR4U I’ll update the description too.

Cool, thanks. I really like the sound of it on here. It might sound different in person but to me on here it has a nice level and doesn't sound "ricey".

Was that for just the muffler and you kept the resonators or something else? I forgot if you mentioned it.

@@jeremiahputnam3893 yep all I changed was the mufflers. The rest of the exhaust is completely stock. It actually sounded great. No drone at all inside the car. In fact it sounded fairly tame with the windows up and never bothered me or my passengers. But sounded great outside the car.

If it does not have the bracket, I would recommend buying an aftermarket bracket that goes in the tow hook spot.

Sorry friend! The plastics was sort of just trial and error using a Dremel tool and a set of side cutters. Tbh my job is pretty rough haha. Ideally I would have waited to finish the next day and taken more time cutting it out to fit better around the roll bar. I do know though that all of the factory drainage system is retained, including the OEM drain holes that exit underneath the car.

Ideally I would like to eventually get a full system.

Why waste money not going to add 1 hp and this one sounds fine. Slip ons fpr sound days of pipes adding power are gone. A tune will add hp but slip.on does seen hundreds dynoed sound and weight is only advantage over stock. Pipes today flow pretty damn well unless you start boring and stroking and adding race cams

​@@ShiftyIntentionswhy stock head pipes are as good as and header pipes. Modern head pipes flow as good as any full headers do the tip is restrictive and other than weight and sound stock is fine until you mod engine like cams bigger pistons etc. Modern bikes flow fine what little restriction to be quiet does not Robb more than 1 or 2 hp at max rpm. Weight is biggest thing and of course sound.

@@RT22-pb2pp I want to swap header pipes because these are old and original. Worried they may rust out eventually and would rather have pretty stainless pipes if possible.

@@ShiftyIntentions oh that's fine just saying flow is no better but good stainless also look cool once they blue with heat cycles. If old and looking rusty replace by all means. Was just saying if in good shape just wasting money.

I put FZR600R because it says that on my title. I am not 100% sure, but I think these were titled differently in the US compared to the rest of the world. If it is definitely just a FZR600, I can change the video title though. Just haven’t read up on what these were called in the US market tbh.

@@ShiftyIntentions yeh i getchu. the thundercat is the fzr600r but in a different dressing my friend

@@harky7 I would really like to get a legit YZF750 from Europe. Not sure if I’ll ever get there though.

@@ShiftyIntentions importing bikes are pretty easy isn’t it? the Yzf750 is a whole different kind of beast. i’m in UK myself plenty about

@@harky7 the YZF750 seems like essentially the best version of 90s supersport to me. I love the FZR600, but we never got the YZF750 in the states. May eventually get one imported though.

It was a great setup and clears the factory GT brakes easily. Never tested them on the Performance Pack Brembos though.

@@ShiftyIntentions good thing I’m to broke for all dat fancy shit just wanted sum 18s for the drift build 🫡

Enjoy your car!

Thanks 👍🏽 definitely enjoying it

Can’t say I noticed any handling difference at all. It felt exactly the same from a drivers perspective.

That is unfortunate, but doesn’t exactly speak for every ecoboost engine on the market. Out of curiosity, was it a regular Fiesta or an ST?

Yep. 100% stock except for an axle-back and wheels/tires.

Lol curious which part of the video you are referencing here 😂

@@ShiftyIntentions 6:55

Really all depends what you want though. Ecoboost can be had with nice heated/cooled leather seats, modern interior with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The S550 has active sound management which keeps NVH really low too. They’re far and away nicer cars to live with daily compared to S197 and prior generations. Also, this is absolutely not dyno evidence, but my car hit 150 mph on crappy 87 octane once 🤷🏻‍♂️. They’re certainly not “slow” cars. I’d personally take an ecoboost over any S197 for a daily driver. But a S550 Coyote would be a big improvement over the Ecoboost as far as fun factor.

This is true. It was straight from the cat-back basically. I wouldn’t be able to handle fully straight and catless 😂

Really glad you enjoyed the review! Ecoboost Mustangs are great everyday sports cars. My next one will have a V8 though. I just need that intoxicating sound next time. Either way I don’t think you could go wrong. Just depends on your priorities!

No, we didn’t do anything special at all. Just had a shop slap on the shocks/springs and went on our way. We took it off-road quite a few times and drove around 20k miles with no issue on this setup.

Did you replace the track bar or did you use the stock one?

@@NHop2025 IIRC we replaced the track bar with the OEM Rubicon bar. This was multiple years ago now though, so I don’t remember for sure.

Hey thanks!
