Did you guys know that the 2023 and 2024 F150 Resonator end pipe on the muffler side has a button type on the end of it where the factory resonator locks into place .. if you need a video to show you .. please let me know .. I can post it on my channel ..
@factionfab58346 күн бұрын
Yes, actually all of the 2010 and newer trucks use a pin-/twist lock feature on the resonator / muffler connection, but we opted for the simpler slip-joint design. Our resonator should to UP TO the pin (not on top of) and then clamped in place.

Do the suede wheels have a more or less round cross-section on the top half of the wheel circle? I'm not liking the weird flattened shape of the upper part of stock wheel grip.
@factionfab58348 күн бұрын
The top cross section is pretty much unchanged from the OEM wheel. We reverse engineer the core of the wheel and then pretty much only modify the side contouring and lower section (increase the D shape). I know exactly what you're talking about though, the flat edge along the top is somewhat controversial among our team. Some people love the shape and say it gives better grip and feel, some want it to be more of a true circle. Ultimately, we decided to mimic the OEM shape.

Do you have to remove the coilover to adjust the higher?
@factionfab5834Ай бұрын
Copy/Paste from your same question on our other video: Yes it is possible, but depending on how much adjustment you are going for it may be easier and faster to remove the lower bolts so the lower mount can spin freely. The weight of the suspension, knuckle, etc can be a bit of a workout on the forearms if you are trying to adjust them while fully installed.

First recommendation is to not drive the vehicle, then go back double check the install, making sure that all electrical connectors are fully seated and not pinched or damaged. If there are still lights on, it is recommended to take to a shop with full diagnostic tools.

@factionfab5834Ай бұрын
Unfortunately this is a common result of a steering wheel swap. OEM wheels do not specify a "top center" alignment of the splines on the steering wheel and the final alignment is always controlled by the full alignment service at the factory. Due to the high spline count, most people don't see this issue and usually are very close, but occasionally if the OEM wheel is a at the farthest point possible it will need an alignment to be corrected.

All our tips and axle back outlets should be the same size, so it could be a tolerance production issue.

Not in most cases. The exhaust can be loud, but usually doesn't suffer from the true resonance / drone that some people experience with a loud single exit. If you have a stock or catted downpipe, no drone at all. A catless downpipe, headers, etc will be more likely to cause some drone.

I don’t have a Subaru but the FL spec sound similar to what I have on my Z.

They are technically rebuildable, but we do not offer a service or the individual components. Instead we have full replacement dampers that can be swapped in reusing the rest of the mounts and spring from your set. We go this route to cut down on expensive labor time and prevent unnecessary down time. You can order the dampers ahead of time and typically swap them out in just a couple of hours! See our website where we have a whole category of dampers and other replacement parts for our coilovers, including instructions.

It's probably closer to a 2mm thickness difference per adjustment setting, but it's a little harder to quantify since it has an exponential increase on the spring rate under load, which can change based on your suspension, vehicle weight, etc. Unfortunately we don't have that amount of detailed data, the testing rig needed to calculate that in a controlled environment would probably run in the millions.
