VTA today. I wasn't going to do it but I needed to get some attention at lights in the MKS, maybe they won't think I am joking or a senile old man anymore. A thought I had, most say they can't hear it very well and I agree its not as loud as some of my previous vehicles. I wonder if routeing some silicon hose from the BOV's to the grill or wheel well where it can be heard better would do the trick. Don't want to get too rice here but if you want some interest at a light when you are driving an MKS you need something, trust me. Another idea was changing the outlet at the end of the hose, not restricting it, but say crushing a piece of copper pipe the same diameter so it is a long narrow outlet?

Maybe just eliminate the noisemaker on the IC to TB charge pipe... It just makes a false engine noise directed at the cabin using the built up pressure.

Not sure the MKS has this but I will check. The thought being removing it would push more air out the BOV's? Screw it, I have some 1' heater hose with the same OD as the ID of the hoses coming off the BOV's. I am going to attach it and run it out side the car and test in the driveway. If its loud as s*** I will find a way to run it clean and play until I get sick of the noise. It already startles people walking near by and has got the attention of a few ricers which was the point to begin with.

I searched for a thread like this and couldn't find one. I'm used to seeing a thread like this to post up new Pics and Photos of Mods and just and all around Show and Tell. So hope this is ok!

I'll start off with saying just got my window tint and it looks great! 18% all the way around.



I think next I want to get an intake/tune and do plugs and the 3 bar map sensor I keep reading about.

The tint looks great!  Who installed it, care to recommend them?

Lincoln's never had the noisemaker contraption piece.

Kind of what prompted me to get rid of mine years ago.

Actually yes I would definitely recommend them. I didn't get the guy's name but the shop is located in bayport ny, In Suffolk, on Long Island. Island Window Tinting. Very professional and since its down the road from a Ford Dealership the tinter person had a lot of experience with fords. So it all worked out.
