Changed 3 spark plugs last night, hopefully I can do the other 3 this weekend.

You still have this?

The tuner, which one do people use? Is the iTSX worth it or should I pay the extra for the livewire TS?

The exhaust is for sounds mainly and weight reduction. I want to do something like this. I doubt it would do any performance. In the future, might make a custom catback, but not right now. The intake is so colder air and to clean up the engine bay. The stock intake take too much room up. My old maxima had a setup like this. It pulled air from behind the bumper in the wheel well. Never had an issue with anything. Here is the filter it had when I bought it, the blue one is the one I put on there. Bigger = better Do you have any links or pictures of this? It would definitely pull colder air down there, plus wrapping the pipe with some wrap, would help keep it colder.

Why skip the first 2?

I am looking to awaking the demon in the 3.5 I been looking at the cheap CAI on ebay, but I am wondering if anyone has ever made their own intake that is a true CAI and runs down behind the bumper. I have been looking and can't find anything out there already or anyone that has made one. Any tips? Next, I want to delete the rear mufflers. Seen this done already, but looks like I have to bend the pipes myself as I can't find any kit or pipes out there. Is this true? I doubt this will do anything other than shed some weight and make it a growl better. Finally, I am wanting a turner. Looks like SCT is the way to go. I see every say to run premo fuel with it, Do they make a 87 tune for it? I really just want it to help with the transmission shifting. Before all this, need to do a tune up on the car. Just checked one of the plugs, it looks bad. Does everyone run motorcraft plugs in their edge? I normally run NGK in my previous vehicles, but they were not fords. Is the motorcraft platinums good or should I get better

Ya, pretty much that with a Ford emblem on them. I have no clue why someone would put them over the alloy rims. Maybe this weekend or next, they will be black anyways.

They were not epoxied to the wheel. They also didn't look like aftermarket as they were made for the rim and had a ford emblem in the center.

Umm, they are clearly hubcaps. They popped off like a hubcap, plastic like a hubcap, and cheap like a hubcap.

If you buy a new car at list price, you failed.

I took off the chrome hubcaps, why did Ford do this? The alloys look great. The fake chrome hubcaps just hold in dirt. I still need to clean the alloys so they look good.

There is a reason the korean cars will give a deal on their car compared to ford. The korean cars are not that great and they are cheaply made. They might look fancy, but if you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig. My girl use to have a KIA before she got her Pilot, I will never own a KIA because of it. Everything about it just pissed me off, the looks, the interior, the ergo, the lack of power, the cheapness of everything.

Check that axlegeek, you can use to compare many specs between many cars. Such as hp, mpg, space, etc.

Have you looked at the Honda CRV? I am not 100% it meets your list. http://cars.axlegeeks.com/compare/34905-49291/2005-Chevrolet-Equinox-AWD-vs-2016-Honda-CR-V a) Must be approx. same size (length, height, width) Chevy has inch more headroom, honda has .1" more leg room in front, chevy has 1.5" more headroom and 1.9" more legroom in back seats Must have same "power" (Chevy is a V6) Chevy V6 is 185hp/210ft-lbs, Cr-V is 185hp, 181ft-lbs. c) Must get same or better gas mileage Chevy is 23/17, honda is 31/25 d) Must have heated steering wheel, no clue e) Must have smartphone integration and/or AA/Carplay, no clue d) Must have heated/cool front seats, only has heated front seats on the higher models. e) Must have heated rear seats don't see this. f) Must have AWD Honda has AWD g) Must NOT be a GM product. Burned by GM too much with this car

I just bought a 2010 Ford Edge. My wife has a 2013 Honda Pilot. They are not the same vehicle at all. The pilot is a 8 passenger vehicle, the edge is only 5. But of the ones I have are 3.5 V6. The edge is only FWD and the pilot has AWD. The pilot doesn't really have the VCM issue. If you do get a pilot, you can always muzzle the VCM and this will get rid of the ECO mod and stop any vibration. I am 6'4" and bigger guy. The pilot is nice, but the edge has more leg room for me in both the driver and passenger seat. The edge is a lot faster. It should come down to, do you want a car that seats 5 people or 8 people.
