Can We Make The Ford Mustang EcoBoost Sound Better and Gain Power?

[@S650Zeus]

All I needed to hear was drag racing and track racing and I was sold on the tomie 😂

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Ayy we use ours for drifting!

[@ironreed2654]

I've been debating having my resonator replaced with a muffler and the 2 stock mufflers replaced with just tips and I think the Full Race convinced me.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

We've done it! It honestly sounds great.

[@testos2701]

Great stuff! Keep them coming! So I just got the race version of the MBRP, I use the car mostly for pleasure riding, the overall tone is great, but it is a little too loud for my taste, there is a lot of drone, inside the cab, and vibrates quite a bit, makes listening to music harder. I really wanted to like this one since is a good deal, but I'm planning on going Borla again, seems they use thicker pipe walls and all the loudness is pushed all the way to the back, the tone is pretty awesome too. UPDATE; Added a resonator (one of the quiet ones) after the cat, still the drone is there, it does it at certain RPMs mostly. Getting ready to do a stage one tune, just to see if I like the shifting, is an auto 10 speed and shifts in some gears is too quick, smooth but quick for my taste anyways. Not sure what gains if any I'll get from the tune, but all I'm looking for is better shifting and hopefully to increase gas mileage. I don't push cars that much, just when I need to. This is a 2020 Mustang EB base, will it take let's say a 40hp increase (with just bolt-ons) w/o any issues? I don't want to blow anything since it is stock 100% as of today but just in case I decide to mod the car later on.

[@deadlyumbreon]

Gave me a good idea for which exhaust to get for my car

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Good to hear!

Is this a turbo eco boost? Why the first one sound like a turbo

[@andreidantes6455]

I got inspired by this car and now i got the same license plate and a new exhaust system on my white ecoboost

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Let us know if we can help!

[@gbass7328]

Spray the intercooler with isopropyl alcohol liberally with a lot of fan exposure for much better FMIC cooling.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Most people are not going to do this daily while driving their car.

[@bradleyisfishing]

I have an IC sprayer set up, but it uses windshield washer nozzles and mainly sprays straight streams. Water doesn’t drop charge temps, but I may try the straight alcohol to see if that helps!

[@gbass7328]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance These runs were not for heart soak testing but best case and equal condition power results. This will help cool the FMIC between test sequences faster.

[@gbass7328]

@@bradleyisfishing Yes ipa but sprayed onto it, not streamed on. It needs to be a mist and cover a lot of the IC.

[@bradleyisfishing]

@@gbass7328 my sprayer is having the issue that the pump isn’t strong enough to make both nozzles mist, so it streams out of one and seeps from the other. I just need to block the one and see what happens

[@LuisSanchez-vu6uv]

You should’ve done a review on the Borla Atak! I have a year with mine & it’s literally the loudest exhaust for the ecoboost, it’s literally louder than the Tomei. I hope you guys do a review on the atak

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Personally we do not like the sound, it’s over priced, and the quality just isn’t there for the price. We decided to exclude it from the test. We want to display the best options for this vehicle.

[@LuisSanchez-vu6uv]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance I understand the overpriced part but don’t know what you mean when you say that the quality isn’t there for for the price, it’s a Borla product! The quality is good, you get what you pay for so I wouldn’t be saying that they work with cheap material, it’s top quality. Even the exhaust shop was impressed by the quality of the product when I went to install it.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

@@LuisSanchez-vu6uv The quality is okay. It’s not comparable to Tomei or Full-Race. We’ve installed plenty of Borla products. It’s just our opinion.

[@chaboi7]

@@FunctionFactoryPerformance are you sponsored by those products?

[@bradleyisfishing]

You’re not losing power to heat soak as much as you think compared to the car pulling timing. When you flash a tune, whether it’s aftermarket or stock, it resets the OAR. This means you’ll be down a few degrees of timing until you drive the car a little and get that OAR up.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

This is a good point.

[@CazzEdits]

Is this why Cobb stage 1 decreased my cars performance, and then when I re installed my stock tune it was decreased even more?

[@bradleyisfishing]

@@CazzEdits yep! If you have a Cobb tuner, have one of your parameters show OAR (KOM). I forget if it’s -1 or 1 that’s the best, but if it’s anywhere in between you won’t have full power. You can force it to learn by getting to about 70 in 6th and gently accelerating under around 5 psi of boost. No idea if it’s an auto. Just gently accelerate for 5-8 seconds and it should change.

[@CazzEdits]

@@bradleyisfishing -1 is the best. Currently running -84 at idle. I did some research and someone said artificially setting your OAR to -1 by driving in sixth gear is not good for fuel quality once you drive in wide open throttle, saying it’s only a good monitor to see how well a tune is doing. Also, is this 6th gear OAR correction only temporary? Meaning next time I start up the car I would have to do it again?

[@bradleyisfishing]

@@CazzEdits once you get your OAR to -1, it stays unless the fuel is bad. If you can’t get to -1, your fuel isn’t great. WOT will set it eventually, but the top gear trick is just quicker and won’t mess up on WOT.

Mind trying out the MRT Street Race Axle-Back Exhaust and MRT Sport Touring Y-Pipe with CVFAB downpipe.... would like to see what the dyno reads with this setup. 🤔

[@bugsoli]

Wow that Tomei sounds freaking awesome! I'm curious about how much HP I'll gain with my custom exhaust, it will look like the MBRP. Good job guys, waiting on the IC test next 👍🏼

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

Thank you! As long as you make the piping larger, you will gain power.

[@brentboswell1294]

Does this car have a blowoff valve reroute? I don't get the blowoff sounds like that in my '16 Ecoboost...I have the MBRP street system and a stock tune.

[@FunctionFactoryPerformance]

[@jasongarcia5165]

Have you messed with any of the explorer 2.3 EB? Coming from the GMC terrain we had this explorer almost feels like a sports car. Any recommended mods? Not sure since the mustang has the same engine if same mods apply to what works best. Looking for simple bolt ons similar to intercooler and a tune. Would be nice to see 300-350 rwhp. Thanks!!

Sorry if this has been asked already, but I'm new to the car scene and I bought a '20 EcoBoost and I'm looking to make some upgrades. My one question though, my Ecoboost was used (lightly) but the previous owner installed a BOV, just not sure what make. Anyway, the BOV on the EcoBoost in this video is waaaaay more pronounced than mine. What brand BOV is installed on this particular car. Or is more so a certain Cold Air and BOV combo that makes it so pronounced? Again, sorry if it's been asked, and I did try checking other videos featuring this car and couldnt really find any mention of it.

I recommend your own sound recomemndation. The Borla is expensive but has a slightly better fit and finish. The MBRP is down to the point, makes power, and is okay to install. The Borla is about a 9/10 loud, almost louder than the Tomei but does not produce a tone like the Tomei muffler.
