Am I on the right trac?

[Amber Clymer]

Ok So I am looking to start my "performance" mods. I have this on my list to do withint the next 2 weeks.



-Magnaflow Single 2 1/2" Facctory exit Stainless steel exhaust system with 3 1/2 " polished tip

-K&N airfilter

-Zabteck V8 Performance Throttle Body <<< seen install and figure I can do this on my own



What have I missed?

 

[Scott Heckler]

Would not an Xcal2 with a performance tune help too?

 

[Sal Adinolfi]

Cold Air intake. that will help take in More Air. so it will flow better with the Exhaust.



Better then just the K&N drop in.

You should be able to do a CAI yourself. Here the link to the project for a gen. 1 ST, but you will be able to figure it out for the '07.

I looked in to the CAI. My main concern is I do not want to have to remove it if I have to have it in the dealership for anything.

Bootsy, the CAI shouldn't have any bearing on the warrenty, if that's what you are worried about. Many have an aftermarket intake on thier ST and no problems when they have to take thier ST's in for warrenty work. The only mod that would cause a problem with warrebty work is the X-Cal, but that is taken care of when you flash it back to stock before you go in.

If you're looking for enhanced performance then your list looks great for starters. The only thing I suggest you add would be the X-Cal2 w/performance tunes. If you do those 4 items within the next 2 weeks, I would say that's a great start!

Bootsy,,In case you havent heard it. Here is a link to the '07 Trac Magnaflow sound file.

 

[Amber Clymer]

WOW, that sounds AWESOME!

 

[Geoff Barker]

Bootsy, I don't think there is much you can do yet to improve the air intake on a '07 V8 other than Todd's throttle bodies, check the link below from a couple of weeks ago. Also, re your other posting about the Smart cars, there are lots of them here but they are a very urban vehicle, sort of like a golf car on steroids. If you want a small economical car, look at a Honda Fit, at least you can take more than one passanger if you want to.

 

[Amber Clymer]

Just to make sure.....will the throttle body have any bearing on my warranty?

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

Yes and no, Ford could try to make a case out of you having a modified throttle body on your truck. I think the majority of us simply reinstall the original throttle body before taking the Trac in for warranty work just to error on the safe side. It's a 5 minutes swap with simple tools......

 

[shawn stonbraker 2]

Like Lil Red said, you could just change it out before you go in, but I doubt they would even know the difference between the mod'ed one and the OEM. (unless Todd is now putting his companies name on them )

Going this weekend to order the exhaust. I am SOOO excited!
