Ford Performance by Borla Touring System should appeal to the truck owners out there who are

looking for a premium system in regards to overall build quality in materials, one that

will offer that very cool dual same side exit configuration and perhaps one of the most

unique tips in the category, but finally and maybe most importantly, it's going to be for

the owners out there who wanna upgrade their exhaust but would prefer to keep things as

quiet as possible, and I do think that's the biggie here when talking about this particular

system as, in my opinion, it is gonna be one of the tamest aftermarket systems.

And this is gonna be a strong one out of three wrenches on my difficult meter.

So the touring that we have in this video is currently one of two different options

available from Ford Performance and from Borla.

Your other option being the slightly more aggressive sport option here.

But as advertised, the touring is gonna be the milder of the two systems as you guys

heard with our sound clips.

And speaking of those sound clips, you guys heard the deal.

You're getting the smallest amount of volume increase over your factory system which some

people may be after, others may be not so much, and quite frankly if you're after a

very aggressive system, the touring just simply isn't gonna be for you, check out that sport

system instead that we just talked about.

Now, what you are getting, again, is the smallest increase in volume over your factory system,

a slightly deeper tone when you really hammer on it, but this thing is absolutely whisper

quiet inside the cab.

So, breaking out my wake the neighbor scale with one essentially being a factory exhaust,

I got this thing coming in at a strong two out of five on my one to five wake the neighbor

scale.

Honestly guys, I don't hand out a whole lot of twos here when it comes to overall volume,

and that should be a good indication to you just how quiet this thing is.

And in my opinion, honestly it's probably one of the most quiet systems currently available

for your truck.

So, if you really aren't getting a ton of sound from an exhaust, why else might you

wanna consider it?

Well, the premium Borla and Ford Performance quality should be a biggie here for ya. 304

grade stainless steel throughout, premium weld build quality, it's just a very, very

nice system from start to finish.

You're looking at three-inch tubing, going through the resonator here leading into the

touring series muffler before stepping down in the two and a quarter-inch tubing, all

exiting out these very unique four-inch square tips.

I can't decide if I love 'em or hate 'em, luckily for you guys it doesn't matter what

I think in that department, but they are very unique to say the least.

But let's go back and talk about kinda what shapes the sound here, the mild sound with

the touring system.

And honestly, it's a combination of two things.

First up, you do have that midpipe resonator that we talked about, working along or in

conjunction with the turbo style touring series muffler, really helps keep everything in check.

I do also wanna point out that those square tips that we just talked about, they are gonna

exit in the stock location behind that passenger side rear tire, and I do wanna say that yes

they are pretty unique, and the square tips, in my opinion, do work with the newer F-150s

because the truck as a whole is a little boxier by nature and these things kind of fit along

with that.

Switching gears, let's quickly talk about price before we get into the install.

And throughout the video, we've mentioned this is a premium system.

You're getting great build quality, great materials, and as such it is gonna carry with

it a premium price tag.

You're looking right around the $1,100 to $1,200 price point for the Ford Performance

by Borla System, putting it in line with some of your other more premium options here on

the site.

But as such the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for," and the Ford Performance

by Borla stuff certainly doesn't disappoint.

But let's get into that install a little further here, guys.

And as I mentioned that the very top of this video, this is gonna be a strong one out of

three wrenches despite the small amount of cutting needed, depending on your cabin bedside.

Now I don't want this to scare you guys away because cutting the system is not very difficult

as long as you measure twice, cut once using a decent cutting tool and a vice.

Ford performance and Borla, they layout very clearly where you need to cut, so again just

take your time, measure everything correctly and you won't have any issues.

As far as tools needed, well obviously that cutting tool is a given, along with a basic

socket set is really all you need to get everything in place here with this cat-back.

You wanna get that factory system out of the way first.

Once that is removed from the truck, get to work and install on the new guy here, starting

from front to back.

Get the entire system hung first before your final tighten up, and you're good to go.

So for the countless owners out there who love modifying their trucks but have been

holding off on modifying their stock exhaust because of that less than favorable tone,

I think the Ford Performance by Borla Touring is gonna be a great choice for you.

The slightest increase in volume, along with that A plus build makes this an awesome choice

for any truck owner who would prefer to keep things as quiet as possible, and you can check

one out for your ride right here at americanmuslce.com.

2018 Ford Expedition Max 4x4 - Duration: 5:29.

At railroad crossings, freight trains stop for it out of professional courtesy.

It's called Max because if it were any larger, it wouldn't fit through the Panama Canal.

Though its body is made from aluminum, it's a Platinum because Ford is ironic.

And it has 10 forward gears like an old Schwinn Varsity.

Everything about the 2018 Expedition Max Platinum 4x4 tested here emphasizes the SUV's size.

The switch to aluminum reduces mass (a bit), but as with the F-150, Ford doesn't want

anyone thinking the Expedition is wimpy.

As if anyone ever could.

This isn't just a full-size SUV, it's a 6047-pound psychological-distortion event.

HIGHS Turbo lug without turbo lag, brilliant transmission,

room for ballroom dancing.

LOWS Conservative interior design, bulldozer handling,

and shouldn't it weigh less?

The Max is the Suburban to the regular Expedition's Tahoe—the 131.6-inch wheelbase and 221.9-inch

overall length outstretch the not-a-Max's by 9.1 and 11.9 inches, respectively.

Its additional length doesn't change the commodious lounging area for the seven passengers,

but the rear doors are longer for better access to the third row, and there are an additional

15 cubic feet of storage space.

Chevy's Suburban goes 130.0 inches on the wheelbase and 224.3 inches overall.

Most of the Expedition's new body is shared with its opulent brother, the Lincoln Navigator.

And the suspension design and steel ladder frame have only slightly evolved since an

independent rear suspension was adopted for the 2003 model year.

The sole engine in the new Expedition is the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6, which is

rated at 375 horsepower on regular fuel in lower trims and at 400 premium-swilling horses

in the Platinum model.

But it's the new 10-speed automatic transmission that's a buffet of mechanical goodness.

As in the F-150 (and other Ford and GM products), this is a smart, decisive gearbox that sticks

with a gear when it should and doesn't distractingly hunt for the next cog at every opportunity.

Its behavior is particularly impressive when towing; its downshifts on grades are quick

and precise, never jerking the trailer.

The full-zoot Expedition uses the first three gears to steam from zero to 60 mph in only

5.9 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds at 94 mph in fifth.

The Platinum trim is swollen with 480 pound-feet of peak torque by 3250 rpm, but keep the engine

boiling with boost and it'll suck down a gallon of fuel every 14 miles, as ours did.

By the EPA's methodology, the Max matches the Suburban in combined fuel economy, at

18 mpg.

Use the push-button all-wheel-drive system and it'll yank a Bayliner up a mossy boat

ramp just fine; when equipped with the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow package, its 9000-pound tow

rating is more than a match for the bow rider's heft.

Inside, the rotary shifter is mounted flat on the center console—taking up nearly as

much space as a conventional shifter would.

So what's the point?

Compared with the Navigator's, the ExMaxPlat's interior is conservative, with more conventional

controls and a smaller infotainment display screen.

There's a rough-hewn feel to some plastic pieces that are more work-truckish than luxury

liner.

And while the seats are covered in acres of inconsistent-quality leather, at least the

seating surfaces are well shaped.

It's all old-school, last-century design while its Lincoln brother has nudged itself

into the 21st century.

There's nothing thrilling about this big beast's driving dynamics.

The Max's ride is on par with that of the GM alternatives, but the ute's steering

is keeping secrets, its 285/45R-22 Hankook Dynapro HT tires aren't that tenacious,

and it doesn't carve corners as much as hack at them with a fire ax.

And with an as-tested price over $84,000, it's some $13,500 beyond the starting cost

of the better-driving but admittedly smaller Mercedes-­Benz GLS450.

Aesthetically and conceptually, the Expedition Max is boldly American.

It's a throwback truck among ever more attractive crossovers.

But if you need what it does, it does those things well.
