About 65% sure it's 1 1/4 or 31.75 mm.ElvenSho said:

It's not that bad. Ive taken mine off about 5 times now. Once you get what ever your warranty work is done you shouldn't have to be at the dealer all the time. It's worth it just for the looks you get from people.ElvenSho said:

I just did mine and it isn't loud at all I did both of them and left the hose in the back. Unhooked from the intake tube if course. The F150s are much louder.

Agreed. I have to try and listen for mine. No radio at all and low speeds to hear it.mrpositraction said:

Are you running the hose on the rear still? Maybe that is it. I have them both disconnected but left the hose attaches to the rear bypass valve.

I took my rear hose completely off last night to see if it made a difference......I forgot that I did it this morning and now thinking back to the drive in I didn't hear any difference.
I am also stock right now and also have the Sound Screen windshield (not sure if that makes a difference)
One thing I noticed and was disappointed to see that at only 3000 miles the recirc hoses off the bypass valves had a nice coat of oil on them already. Looks like a catch can is in my near future.
You have a '15 SHO, right? The oil could be a break-in period thing also. Switching to full synthetic could decrease this issue due to lower volatility. Probably the major concern would be oil collection in the CAC. If the problem gets worse over time, say by 7,500 miles or so, then a good catchcan system can be very useful.

Yeah, mine is a 15. My dealer offers 1st oil changes free and I had them change it over with Ford oil at 2500 miles. Will probably change oil again near 7500 miles and switch to a full synthetic like I have in the past.

Gonna disagree here Manu... No test I am aware of shows any better lubrication with syn vs hydrocarbon from the earth.....
But by going to Amsoil full syn you can get the lowest oil volatility.... Vaporized oil is bad with the recirc BOVs from the hotpipes to the intake like we have on the 3.5 GDI engine.... So I'd also recommend BOV to VTA to cut down on this .... Even with a catch can.
So full syn will help a lot to prevent/slow coking intake valves and turbo blades... But no increased lubrication. Ford syn is not bad, but much worse than the best.
Well, I was thinking of the bearing scar tests. If the oil has a better design, it is providing better protection from wear. Which implies smoother running turbos, engine bearings, camshafts, etc. Even if MC is not the best, the full syn should be better than their syn blend, but true, yet to find an actual direct comparison (looking). If you are constantly exercising the twins, best to go with the best, no doubt. But for "sedate"/normal DD, MC full syn should be fine, theoretically
