We're so excited to get our hands on a 2025 Ford Explorer St to delete that stupid fake exhaust sound with Thermal R&D 3" cat back exhaust. Not only does it eliminate the fake exhaust sound, but it deals with the poor flex pipe design from factory, AND makes you sound good while doing it.
Exhaust system that sounds good and doesn't have drone, SIGN ME UP!!!
If your looking for this same exhaust for your Ford Explorer, head over to our website:
shopsouthdowngarage.ca/products/thermal-r-d-3-catback-exhaust-2020-2025-explorer-st-usd
Let us know if you'de like to get your exhaust installed by us at the same time. Please email sales@shopsouthdowngarage.ca for more info.

I knew I only had one shot at this. I went around the entire door once then chipped away as much ice as I could. Went around a second time and with a mighty tug the door came open. Thanks!

My 2013 Jetta TDI still runs, idles and drives great. What do you think I should do? It’s got 150k+ miles, just got a new clutch and slave cylinder and shifter cable kit put in. You know that was $$$$. I love this car, really clean still.

      @PhillipSausman follow the regulations in your area. If you are required to have emissions, then the only thing you can do is replace the emissions. Certain places don't have that same regulation, and they are allowed to deal with replacing them with something different, however most places that's not allowed.

    This engine is based on the 2.7l EcoBoost. Does it also have the notorious internal wet oil pump belt? Actually, at 6:00 it is clear that it has a chain that drives the oil pump rather than a belt. Wow, with a CGI cylinder block and no wet belt this engine must be bulletproof! The only thing that I would replace is the plastic oil pan (hopefully, there are aftermarket metal oil pans for it).

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage 14 днів тому

      @tedantares2751 that's correct they are based off the 2.7. Unfortunately, we can not use the chain driven on the 3.0 either due to how far away the pump is from the crank. We are hoping to come up with a solution to be able to incorporate chain drive, but that will be some time.

    • @SouthdownGarage
      @SouthdownGarage Місяць тому

      I'm not sure. The 3.0 I took apart in this video is from a transverse engine. The Explorer engine is also belt driven like the 2.7. We are looking into finding a way to switch it over to chain drive, but because the oil pickup is father away from crank then the transverse oil pump is. I will go over this in the next video when we start assembly of the newly built engine.

    While a lighter wheel is better for performance and mileage, please also consider that it's not as stable, as a factory wheel. Meaning, if your roads aren't the best, guess which wheel is going to get bent first. The factory wheel is not just heavy, because the manufacturer typically trying to save a fraction of a cent on everything is so generous and just gives you more metal, simply out of generosity. It is heavy, because it needs to be, for durability. Anyway, ditch the heavy aluminium wheels and switch to steelies. Cheaper, faster, more mileage. Also, a larger contact patch is not always beneficial. Aside from the issue of ignoring the rotational marks and thus accumulating water under the tire, instead of dispersing it, a larger contact patch also provides a higher risk of aquaplaning. Even if your tires are mounted correctly, it's easier for your vehicle to be lifted by water, if your contact patch is larger. Because if the weight of a vehicle is distributed onto a wider area, the force pushing that vehicle against the road is deminished. A water film that couldn't lift you before, can now. This is not relevant in dry conditions, but during rain it is.

  • @claytonrondeau9028
    @claytonrondeau9028 Місяць тому

    The rotation of the tires is there so that the tires shed the water out. If you had them backwards it will push the water to the inside and can hydroplane the vehicle easier. Also not all dealership are trust worthy, yesterday someone came to me with a car that had all 4 wheels out 6oz because they didn't know how to balance then, and didn't tell them about their rear brake being at 1mm
