P2 Installed - Victims, Positives, Negatives

Victims: One Ford F-150 Lightning, One "stock" EVO!, Also, my left hand and wrist scratched up a bit - well worth it.

Positive: Others have written in detail what I will say simply - This makes the car way more FUN!!! + your dealing with responsible adults at Works - great service.

Negative: Reactivated my serious modification addiction

P.S. Do the install from the bottom - much easier.

Thanks Works - you've got yourself a customer....next up, down pipe...

Rob

This is a new one on me - but I'm seeing how true it is!

Rob, why are you thinking of doing a downpipe before doing a catback? Seems like that would only be opening things up just to get more of a back up at the cat. Or is the new works downpipe the same size as the factory dp but has better flow etc?

WORKS DP is larger diameter than the stock DP and has smoother flow profile. It is also thermal ceramic coated to help keep the exhaust gases hot and moving quickly.

The reason for doing the DP before the IP is that the DP actually provides the second largest HP and drivability gains next to the AB. Ideally, you would want to do all three at the same time (AB, IP and DP), but if you can only do two, there is nothing wrong with going AB and DP.
