Looks BA, I like the black. I really like my HMF on my P1K5, you’ve heard it before, should be fairly close in sound. Don’t worry about the o2 sensor stuff, as long as it’s up stream of your muffler you should be fine. We did mods like that all the time at Roush we just left the o2’s in there place. Easy put, no tune no worry
If you don't already subscribe to Jaks youtube channel, here it is. He has a lot of videos with the HMF, Dobeck and some other stuff. I've been digging into this subject pretty deep here lately and for those that don't know anything about it, like I did, here's what I've learned. There will be another part to this and for me it's going to be the Dobeck AFR. ( air/fuel regulator ) This is the only one made specifically for the P5. Not just off the shelf either, you order it, they build it and you get it in about ten days. Called them and got the skinny on the whole thing, good people that know their sh**.
The factory O2 sensor only works at idle and low rpm's and it runs pretty lean stock. When you add the aftermarket exhaust/intake you're creating more air flow, the factory O2 sensor will adjust and not go into error or anything because it's only sensing the low rpm's. It doesn't sense anything at mid range or high speed and again will not read the trouble even though you'll be running very lean, not good. Installing the AFR regulates the proper amount of fuel for the amount of air flow. It has factory settings so it's just plug and play but allows you to tweak it if you choose. You even add a second, wide range O2 sensor, that you drill into the pipe to monitor the under load flow. I asked the guy if he thought the exhaust and tuner would make much difference on this machine and he said most see a 10% gain in HP. For us that's about 2 1/2 horse which isn't very much but should give it a little more ass anyway.
Even if I can't keep up, you'll hear me behind you.

What’s the grand total on that little $8,000.00 P5 so far.
JK lol.He wishes it was only $8000! Probably more like $12000!What’s the grand total on that little $8,000.00 P5 so far.
I read your comment wrong, because my p5 was only $6k so I thought you were saying Trig's is up to 8k now.What’s the grand total on that little $8,000.00 P5 so far.
You probably can’t see this.... but that’s what the sticker is on them now with inflation, 3yrs difference, automatic transmission and the like. That most likely was how @Montecresto came up with that starting price. So you read it correctly. Was a figure of speech.
No no, it was an $8,000.00 sxs. Now he’s got $16,000.00 in it lol. I’m sure I’ve got $13,000.00 in mine. But who’s counting lmao.He wishes it was only $8000! Probably more like $12000!
I bought mine in August of 2014, and it was $7,500.00 naked lol.
Sounds about right. You right...who’s counting? Lmao, he’s having fun and that’s all that matters right
Why? You think I have you on ignore? I don't... I'm an adult.
