  1. Official SHADOW BLACK Bronco Sport Thread

    I used 2X Stainless Steel Vibrant Ultra Quiet, 2.25". For two it cost $225 on Amazon.
  2. Official SHADOW BLACK Bronco Sport Thread

    I spotted it at Walmart, it does what I need it to do. Nice thing is has straps where u can carry the whole thing into the house if u load it with grocery bags.
  3. Official SHADOW BLACK Bronco Sport Thread

    I tried recording using my phone. The recording doesn't come close to the actual sound. The sound is deep, smooth, with no drone. Inside it is noticeable but very easy on the ears, don't have to turn the tunes up at all. I have to say it sounds awesome and I'm an old school V8 guy. Never...
  4. Official SHADOW BLACK Bronco Sport Thread

    This is the Shadow Black Miami Special. Black color was not what I initially was going to get but it's what I ended up with. I embraced the black scheme and cleaned it up a little. I removed the "Sport" letters on the hatch, blacked out the Ford badge, put black vinyl on top of the Bronco...
  5. Aftermarket Exhaust for both 1.5 and 2.0

    After a few months of going back and forth between several aftermarket systems and reading up on the subject of scavenging, pressure and material I decided to build my own system and saved myself hundreds doing it. The sound is awesome. Now I never expected much as I'm a V8 guy but I have to say...
  6. Update to Sync 3, version 3.4 Build 21020

    Hello, I downloaded the complementary 3.4 upgrade from the Ford website which took about 30 minutes. I put the files on my desktop to make sure I had the complete series and then placed them on a formatted USB. Make sure you format the USB or you will get a error code. After a trial and error...
  7. Custom Exhaust

    Hello, I tried several times without any good sound. I'll keep experimenting with my S20 to see if I can get a good sound byte.
  8. Custom Exhaust

    Unfortunately I don't have a baseline to compare too.
  9. Custom Exhaust

    Good info, there are a lot of variables that need to be considered. For a real time street test even the amount of fuel, full versus a quarter of a tank makes a difference. For sure I didn't gain 30 hp, with that I did gain enough to be noticeable at the steering wheel. Again thanks for the...
  10. Custom Exhaust

    HI, pure ass guess on hp. I have a Freeway on ramp that I based it on. Before the change I reached the top from a dead stop to 80. Now I reach it at 85. I noticed the turbo spins up much quicker than before also. As far as numbers go, it's a low tech observation.
  11. Custom Exhaust

    Hello all BS officiendos, I took the plunge and customized the exhaust on my 1.5 OB. Short version is, it sounds surprisingly awesome! Compared to the anemic sound coming from the gargantuan OEM muffler that is. Now I know there are plenty of nay sayers thinking why waste good money on...
  12. Need advice. Am I getting "screwed"? Should I allow dealership to add this to new badlands I'm about to order?

    Hello, I was in the same frame of mind before I bought my BS OB. Every make of SUV from European makers, Japanese and American had something I wanted. Power, style, luxury but after 3 weeks of shopping I made the decision to go BS. The choices were slim for Broncos but I needed to quit looking...
  13. K&N Cold Air intake released for 1.5 Bronco Sport

    Thanks for that awesome test. It's all about numbers and your test really broke it down, the charts were equally awesome. Did u ever test Motorcraft air filters. I'd really be interested on their metrics. Thanks
  14. 2021 OB Black Beauty

    Overall the look is good, it was the quality of the construction that surprised me. The folds on the backside were cut badly leaving gaps in stitching. Other areas had too much. The air bag flap was really off in fitment. Granted it's a hard pattern but that's why I paid more money hoping to get...
  15. 2021 OB Black Beauty

    To add the mods I also upgraded all tail lights with LEDs, what a difference and no hyper flash issues. I also tinted the front side windows to 20% to match the factory tint and had a winshied tint at the top as well. This really made a huge difference in cooling the interior down. Someone in...
  16. 2021 OB Black Beauty

    Well after reading posts on accessories and adding bling for the last 2 months I figured it was time to post my BS OB project. To start with I decided to keep the original wheels and tires. Ford did a good job on wheels and IMO the wheels are perfect for the Shadow Black scheme. Black really...
  17. Aftermarket Exhaust for both 1.5 and 2.0

    Keep the forum updated, I'm curious to the real time gain in mpg.
  18. Aftermarket Exhaust for both 1.5 and 2.0

    I agree, there is nothing like the V8 sound. Hence my moniker V8 Yankee. As I am now a owner of a ground pounding 1.5 liter BS it just seems wrong to use that name. My first car was a 62 Ford Galaxy with a 390 Thunderbird engine, since then probably had 20 cars and trucks with V8s. I'm Still...
  19. Lagging gas mileage

    I just put in my forth full tank of gas at around 1200 miles. Barely broke in my mpg with the 1.5 is averaging 33, +/- 2 which is amazing considering my cummute. I drive in "Normal Mode" exclusively from Hallandale to Miami International, a 50 mile round trip. It's Freeway 95% of the way. It's...
