Guest Guests Posted 12/01/08 09:34 AM Share Posted 12/01/08 09:34 AM 20% Under drive will see close to 190 rwkw, is it an auto?that's very good power for 4490 headers, one day try the 4495s much more top end but you give up down low grunt.

Guest Guests Posted 12/01/08 08:02 PM Share Posted 12/01/08 08:02 PM Only other thing to do is open that air box up a bit with the F6 lower intake, won't give you to much but every bit counts.

It doesn't drone on the highway but you can hear it if you stick your boot in it....all in all its the perfect sound for me. I will see if I can get a sound clip and put it on you tube.NOS, I couldn't get a hold of a lower intake before I made the trip, mainly due to work and other things. but RDP cut a hole in the front bottom half of the airbox and assured me that it was just as affective, This added an even greater note to the exhaust!! I love it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41563-180kw-with-filter-exhaust-and-tune/#findComment-619843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking myself I didn't keep the flash tuner from my XRT.

I couldn't change my cat because of mine being a BF. if I did and made changes in the ecu to allow it warranty would be gone for sure. if you could pick up a second hand one it would work out cheaper.

Still got the old XR6T cat laying around in the shed.. I wonder if that'll help it at all. Probably best off paying a few hundred for a good hi flow anyways.
