My order was originally a MIC but dropped it to speed up the order. Learning to live with it and don’t mind it most of the time.
In the summer I like to put it in safari mode with the side and rear windows removed.
Wife now has a bronco with the hardtop so we can switch tops if we want for...
What I’ve done to other vehicles is use car wax to wax the windshield. First I tried it as an experiment on half the windshield for ease of bug removal during the summer. It seemed to help for about 2 weeks for bugs, the bonus was water sheeted off very well.
Wonder how it would sound with just a straight pipe replacing the muffler?
Totally unrelated but a big difference in vehicle/ engine noise between my wife’s OBX 2.3 automatic with lux and my BL 2.3 manual with mid package. Hers is louder even with the hood silencer pad and I can’t even hear mine...
I also deleted the MIC to expedite my order. Wind noise was the biggest issue, but added some pipe insulation where I could along the sides. Added a sun shade and put a heavy blanket over that as far out to the sides as I could and now it’s quieter than my wife’s Bronco with the MIC.
Keeping it...
One other thing, had mine back to the dealer for an error message and they reseated the plug to the body control module behind the glovebox and kick panel. Called plug 43 or something like that.
Probably unrelated but I found half of my under hood fuses not fully seated and the the 3 bolts holding the fuse panel were tightened up a minimum of a quarter more turn.
I had a few weird electrical gremlins before I checked the fuses.
