how do you like your long tubes and off road and what cat backs do you have? i just put mine on with bassani axle backs and it way to loud for me but it doesnt sound like a drag car which is cool.
I absolutely love my BBK ceramic long tubes. Love the sound it makes along with my combined Flowmaster Force II axle backs.

During WOT the sound of the long tubes, off road x pipe and Flowmaster axle backs are sweet music too my ears!

I've had some really stupid cheesy problems that are just plain poor quality.

Both my front marker lights fell apart at about 37k. I replaced them with aftermarket. No problems so far.

Both my headlight lenses have developed thin spider-web looking cracks all through them. Haven't decided what to do about that, but evidently I don't want to go back with Ford factory lenses if this is what will happen.

I replaced my cheesy factory rear sway bar bushings after they started clunking intermittently at about 50k. I got some of those BMR polyurethane bushings with the grease fittings for about 115 bucks. I put them on in about an hour with the special grease and fixed the problem.

It has had stalling at the stop light. Transmission has a intermittent issue as well as the cam shaft position sensor on the drivers side causing the engine light to come on now and then, the paint on the hood is bubbling up, and needs repaired on the right front. Something making a noise in the rear end, like a bumping noise on a rough road. the radio was replaced as well as a speakers. The dealer she took the car to said $400 to fix the hood $200 to diagnose the transmission, $110 to diagnose the sensor. we love the car, but at 73k I should not have to replace the transmission, repaint the hood, or have engine issues. My Toyota Camry has over 304k on the clock still drives 120 miles a day no problems. We love the car other than that. I will think about this when I go to buy my truck. That is all I can say at this time. When my daughter comes home from school I will check the sway bar mounts.
Paint should have a warranty on it still, I would think? The long crank deal is likely a PCM reprogram - I've had that done on mine. That's a ton of miles on a '11 - wow.
