I have tried a few different tunes, the last being JDM. Overall between them and 5 star each has their benefit and I am looking to get a better tune.
open discussion for anyone that has tried multiple tunes.
Anyone else get wrench error and etc after moving to a JDM tune?
I would constantly get the wrench error on a weekly basis.
I have moved back to 5 star, having seen a few of my cel codes since as JDM works it out.
Wrench light hasn’t appeared in a week now on 5 star.
Just curious other...
Upgraded the IC and now I get the U0284 error “Lost communication with active grille”.
Anyone know how to get rid of it? I thought my tune would have done the trick, guess I’m wrong.
Nick,
I buy gas from the same gas station and 90% of my driving is same route and everything. I agree with most you say, but if I get my gas at the same stations, my route stays similar and after 4 tanks its always the same mileage with a super small variance. Unfortunately it is what it is...
Ok- been running tune in multiple tanks. Overall it’s a good tune!
MPG gain, people smoking something. I got 14 MPG no tune, 14 MPG 5 star Tune and same with JDM
I’m sure everyone knows when you tune the computer MPg is wrong. You have to manually calculate it with miles/gallons.
No my...
OK - I probably should have done more research, but I took the MBRP exhaust off and went back to stock as previous members suggested. It was too loud to hold a conversation in the truck at any speed.
I drove it over 300 miles to see if it would calm done, nope it didn't.. lol
Downpipe stayed...

Wanted to give props to Andy at Vogue. He is a top notch guy and does some great work if your in the Redmond/Seattle area.
He installed my Mountune IC, Kooks DP, MBRP Exhaust and New wheels on the 2019 Raptor.

Got the system for like $800
Ok- let the haters come out.. lol
Installed a Kooks DP and MBRP exhaust. To me it doesn't sound as bad as I thought it would, but Im sure there will be plenty of people that hate it.
Yes, I’m looking for a different RS now, I live in Seattle so the RS would be great going downtown and letting the Raptor rest! Parking downtown is hard for anything over 6’7 and not compact
This is hilarious and sad at the same time. I was looking at acquiring a Focus RS to keep my Raptor company in the garage. The Focus RS had the Hennessey install. Guess I have to scratch that one off the list..
Not sure how you figure there will be no performance gains from removing a more restrictive exhaust and putting on something less restrictive, but ok. You will usually see about 10% gains, some may vary
Under boost you don’t want things to stretch as you could lost a little. Silicon hoses are cheaper, so I understand the why a company would. I was looking for something that I thought was the best design. Now others may disagree and that’s cool too.
I’m sure the silicon last a good amount, but...
I think all the IC like Full Race, Cobb, SVC, and etc are close to the same.
For me I like the piping on Mountune better and I agree Full Race looks nice, but I just like Mountune piping better and Tyler (Engineer) at Mountune sealed it. He was great.
I have COBB CAI, 5 star tune, but will...

Thanks for the advise, but I am looking for the performance gains, so unfortunately Im all in on the upgrade. Will post videos afterwards so people can hear the setup and then let some people bash me how it sounds bad.. lol
Its getting installed Wednesday
