I've got a Borla S Type active cat-back with x-pipe and it seems to run fine with the tune.

I wish that Ford Performance would make a tune that could accommodate long tube headers, H or X Pipe, and a factory option axle back exhaust. We know that the FP Calibration Kits and Tunes are pretty much rock solid. Imagine that
They would also have to produce a kit though. No way they are going to make a tune for random aftermarket market parts companies.

If Ford performance came out with a kit for long tube catted headers and a tune. ohh boy I would be all over that.

Yep that's what I was saying. Could you imagine a kit to allow long tube headers? These cars are already decent bang for the buck. Some sort of kit like you said would be incredible

Their handheld is very reliable and easy. Even better so than the RTD+. The BT on the RTD is cool, but it still has errors and you have to restart.

Yeah, if only there was some kind of service available that could write a tune to accommodate any and all of the parts you put on. Imagine that. FP tune is a great tune for a conservative, canned tune. But that's exactly what it is, a good tune for a nearly stock motor. If you want catless headers and so on and so forth you'll need to custom tune, period. That isn't an easy, straight forward tune nor is a modified motor going to behave with all of the civility of a stock motor. The factory motor is designed to do exactly that and hot rod parts sacrifice that for power, nothing comes for free.

Had the FP calibration kit installed yesterday, my immediate response when driving it home was NOT good. Totally changed the sound of the exhaust note and not in a good way. I'll give it some time but I have a feeling it will be coming out.

Mine changed as well, but still sounds great with my Borla ATAK catback. Do you have stock exhaust, or aftermarket?

I had a Steeda X pipe installed at the same time as the calibration kit. I get a lot of compliments and thumbs up on the sound.

It sounded good with the switchfire, and excellent with the borla axle back.

I look forward to hearing about these changes to sound. In the past when I was tune it usually cleans up the sound little bit.

Interesting - I didn't realize intake and tune could have that big an effect on exhaust sound. I'd love to hear some sound clips!
