    Inspection Issue at the Dealer

    Guilty! Hopefully they're a last resort, but honestly, they might just look kind cool too....

    Inspection Issue at the Dealer

    @P4SHOCAT I may do that. I bought my subaru from a John Kennedy store. I'm going to do the bd covers and go to the local guy first. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the PA specific feedback.

    Inspection Issue at the Dealer

    @smurfslayer that's very helpful. Thanks. Do you have any pictures of how that looks installed? I know that's kind of a big ask, and not terribly likely, but there's no harm in the asking right?? All, thanks very much for your help on this issue. This forum has been really great!

    Inspection Issue at the Dealer

    I run a vacation rental in the Poconos and I'm up there regularly for projects and to coordinate with contractors, etc. Where in NEPA is your dealer? I might be able to justify a special trip.

    Inspection Issue at the Dealer

    @smurfslayer would you mind sending along a photo of the covers you built? That might be what I have to do. Also, yeah, more research is required on my part and I may have to have a bit of wiring done to make sure I can't have my SAE fogs+highs, etc... Obviously, I'll try another inspection...

    Inspection Issue at the Dealer

    Anyone have any experience or advice on wiring auxiliary lights in order to pass inspection? My local ford store refused to issue me a PA Safety Inspection sticker because of my aux drive lights. I have a BD S8 behind my grille, and a BD Sportsmen amber fog/driving/cornering lights. The...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    I'll probably do meth/water for the next round of tuning stuff. It's easy to get and reliable. What meth kit are you running? I've been looking around for something, but there's not a ton of readily accessible information out there. I'm very pleased with my Snow Performance system in my subie...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    Cobb AP, with a protune from my local tuner -- R/T Tuning in Montgomeryville PA. I'm not sure why nobody does meth/water around here. E85 seems to be the preferred method for hotter fuel, but not with the desert/Mexico guys. I always have access to 93 octane, and 93 octane plus Meth with the...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    Thanks for the feedback... I think I'm going to go with the Wagner based on lots of stuff I've seen on here. My current plan is Wagner IC, probably some charge pipes, catted downpipes, turbo adapters (unless i do the stainless works pipes), a drop in filter, and maybe electric cutouts for shits...

    Procharger FMIC? or nah?

    Is anyone running this? I've searched the forum pretty hard, but nothing is coming up? https://5startuning.com/product/2017-2020-f150-3-5l-ecoboost-procharger-intercooler-upgrade-kit/ It looks like it might allow me to keep my BD S8 behind-the-grille lightbar. I'd like that very much. For...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    Fair point... but my average MPGs in my truck is like 17. My commute is like 65 miles per day. Work pays for my train pass. Free vs. $$. Timewise it's almost a wash. Train is like 5 minutes longer, but I get to read.

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    Seems like we've degenerated into a height/antenna conversation... I've been looking in some other threads and it seems like there's no way to do an FMIC with the S8 installed, although nobody has weighed in on the Procharger intercooler yet. I'll maybe fire off a more focused thread with that...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    Downforce, wow. That's mean looking. Great pictures. Thanks for your contribution. What are you running for tires/lift? I don't think I'll every be able to lift my truck I regularly park in a parking garage and my stock antenna scrapes the entrance. I can maybe do 1 inch. On another...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    Gents, thanks for your quick replies. I'd be fine probably with an upgraded IC in the stock location, but I'm not really completely sure. And yeah, given where the S8 sits behind the grille, I get how a FMIC wouldn't fit. Do you guys have any suggestions on upgraded ICs for the stock...

    Baja Designs S8 with an intercooler?

    I recently had this BD S8 installed behind the grill. It's so friggin bright. I love it. However..... I also like going fast and whatnot. It's my intention to eventually do bigger intercooler, downpipes, turbo adapters, dumps, and a tune, possibly meth after that if I wanna go all crazy...

    POLICE got me again......

    Where in PA does this happen? I've never been pulled for tint. And my WRX and Raptor are both tinted. Usually I get pulled for speeding, then get a warning.

    Exhaust. Performance not noise, Help me make a sleeper.

    I think I want to do the dumps just to occasionally make goofy noise occasionally and then keep everything stock after the DP and dumps. That should keep everything nice and quiet. I hadn't heard anything about the limited muffler swap. I'll do a search and see what's out there... Is that a...

    Exhaust. Performance not noise, Help me make a sleeper.

    I really appreciate all of your feedback. I guess I'm less scared about the warranty... damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!!! I'm now leaning toward a Cobb "stage 2" without intake, but with the trans control module. In addition to that, I'll probably do intake piping, turbo adapters...

    Velocity AP Valvetronic exhaust

    I'm just bumping this thread. I'm in the Philly suburbs. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Noise when I want it stealth when I'm on a long trip or starting my truck in my residential neighborhood at 5 am.

    Exhaust. Performance not noise, Help me make a sleeper.

    I hate drone, I'm not a fan of useless noise. However, I definitely want to do something with my truck's exhaust and downpipes. I am in search of a throatier, more purposeful tone, but I do not want unnecessary noise, and I definitely don't want any drone. I'm a form follows function kinda...

    New Truck! Picked up a 2019 in November

    Hi All, Picked up a 2019 in November. I'm having a hard time not buying things for it. I'll get some pictures on here when I get a chance. It's a Performance Blue Super Crew. I'm super excited. So far-- Line-x bed liner, armor flex trifold hard tonneau, swing case tool box that fits under...
