Somewhere in the forum the question was also asked about a single wheel (rim as I call it) and I have just ordered a single factory OEM for a total of $652. Apparently Ford went overboard when they thought the ST would sell like crazy so they made a s**t load of wheels. Bad for them. Good for us. https://www.detroitwheelandtire.com/ Part number on the site is HOL.10198-BBB-GLOSS-A

No hiss on mine. So does it do it with the engine on only, accessory only or both ?

You can also check out https://www.gorilla-auto.com/qrg-wheel-locks I'm looking at getting black lugs nuts to match the rim.

I was thinking about doing it but I do like the way it rides. Don't really want to feel every bump in the road. But while looking the only thing I saw was H&R. Eibach might have something.

Since I don't do Facebook or other social media stuff the best I can upload is 10MB. Which is close to nothing. But this is what the site will allow. And yes your 2.7 also blows smoke. Ford replaced the heads on my 2017 Fusion Sport. MRT-Exhaust-Sound-Clip.mp4

Should have some sound clips today - been tied up with work.

My plan is mount two Hela horns or find a couple for F-150 horns from a junk yard. I do agree - does anyone think about these things before they push cars out the door ?

I'll some sound clips for you. When I took it in for the PTU cooler replacement the mechanic said that is the way they should sound.

I just had to have my PTU cooler replaced at 1082 miles. Backed out of garage and say drips in the floor. Went and checked and then crawled under and saw trans coolant all over the exhaust. Took to dealer and four days later got it back. He tried replacing th seal but Ford does not have a seal that fits. So the entire cooler was replaced. Now I 'm not sure if he flashed the PCM but I think not because it does seem a lot more "jerky" than it was before I took it in. It could still be in the learning phase. Thanks for info BobY - I will keep on eye out for this.

Installed the MRT axle back exhaust. Great sound. This should have been on it from the factory. Sounds good inside and out. People can actually hear you coming but they don't know what who it is. One hour to install and I have made four adjustments to position the pipe in the bumper hole. I highly recommend these. No drone at any speed. You hear actual engine noise when you WOT. Borla now has one but mine was already installed and was $600 compared to $1500.

No issues here. In Sport mode it keeps the revs up. The trick is to plan ahead - the same way you would with a manual - math you corner get your gear, etc... As for paddle shifters - well Ford and all other brands don't seem to have engineers that actual drive the cars as performance vehicles. I think BMW and Merc are two companies that make their engineers get in the car with a professional driver to see what they are missing. I have had three cars with paddle shifters and I thin they would be better used for radio volume control 😁

Got them installed in about an hour. Of course you always cringe when you have to cut an exhaust without owning a welder (I weld just fine but not that often). So the only downside to this is that MRT did not put a nipple at the end of there hanger bar which would have helped with the alignment and fit. Sound is now correct for this ecoBeast, I have seen people turn their heads trying to figure out where the noise is coming from when I hit the gas. Friend agreed that this should have been part of the factory build. Sounds good at idle and no internal drone when cruising. Made one final adjustment today after driving it for 150 miles (could have done it at 30 miles but wanted the rain to stop) Worth the 599.

I just got mine in today. Odered on Thursday last week. Will let you know how it sounds once I install them.
