I actually got the car from Key west ford in New Westminister B.C.They are a roush dealer you could get it from them. I bought the kit from MGM Ford in ReddeerAlberta for 7300
I tell ya I looked at alot of em. Procharger wa my next choice. The thing that I didn't like was problems lots were having. I wamted a drivable everyday car( except winter or rainy weather lol ). If I was into the drag racing scene I would go the other way. But I tell you everting was so perfect itwas like it came from Ford themselvesand it looks like a factory install not a adddon. Me I kinda like the clean look to it.

Enjoy the winter, I hope it doesn't get too cold for ya. I spent a Winter in Medicine Hat a few years back, so I know what cold is all about! Needless to say, I am happy to be on the coast.
Thanks for the reply.

Excellent write up, thank you for this topic. One thing I'd like to know about is traction - is there any left?

Yeah I will make a vid of it I like the sound of the Roush exhaust and the look at the rear with the rectangle exhaust tips

BTW..I notice your car is a sport, not a STG1 (nothin' wrong with that)
If you push Roush hard enough, you could get it documented as one, and then go from there.
You would get a stg1 emblem, and plaque. But I doubt theyll give you the Livonia build stickers in the door jambs, only the ones built in Michigan get those. just FYI
Looks great

Well, according to that you dont have a warrenty on yours because you did your own installation....
So this means we not only have to buy a $8,000 s/c but we have to give another $1K plus to have our local heehaw dealer install it to get the warrenty? Please elaborate....
Thanks, Doug.
" Additionally, you must mail your paid serivce order installation receipt ( that identify's your VIN number and vehicle engine serial number) within 30 days of service order installation date identified on your installation receipt"

Yes, but are you a Roush licensed shop or do they allow any shop to do it? I'm a Ford and ASE master in cars and medium/ heavy duty trucks with a 2 year Degree in auto tech but will they allow me to install it?
I'm not ansy or anything but I would love to get the word straight from Roush, I'll call sometime while I'm on the road tomorrow and see what they say.
I know at a dealer you can't replace a part that breaks at home and then take the old one back and get your money back if your cars under warrenty but rather you have to take it to a Ford Authorized Warrenty repair dealer. The place I work at isn't a Ford dealer but we are warrenty authorized and we get to attend the same training as the dealer techs.
If I bought this kit I wouldn't trust my local dealer to install it mainly because I know most of the techs there,hahaha.
Also I dont let anyone touch my car but me unless absolutly necessary. That's not the part that bugs me though, it's having to pay someone to install a part that I know I can myself to get the full warrenty, not to mention how much the dealer would get to do it.
Thanks, Doug.

Ok, here's the word from Roush's warrenty Department...
ANY Licenced autorepair shop can do the installation,not just a ford repair shop. You MUST have a 3rd party receipt for the installation in order for the warrenty to take affect. The reason for this is because the repair shop will be able to take responsibility for misinstallation.
Now with that said what it means to me is that Roush is looking to blame the installation facility for any damage that occurs to the engine. They also said you cannot install it yourself and keep the warrenty, you must have a receipt for installation. Now in the above example where he owns a shop I can see how he could get away with it but if not then you'll have to pay for installation to keep the warrenty.
Later Doug.

Hi Paul, did that $7,300 include the dreaded GST? Also did you have any connections at the dealership that allowed you to get a better price than somebody walking in off the street?
I'm looking at getting a Roushcharger from a dealership in Edmonton and am wondering what my chances are at getting them to match the price you got.
Thanks,
Mark
