Borla and FOMOCO Exhaust.
Guy - follow my war and peace post here. I am not trying to be a sharpshooter here... the reason I was asking, although it is a tad bit late for me... you are right, I’m not following you, the reason is, before I bought my Ford Performance (FP) exhaust, I called Matt at FP. Other then the stock exhaust, the ATAK and the S-Type were the only FP exhausts available. I only bought just the center section because the tailpipes were not out yet. Now I am reading there are two more FOMOCO exhausts (not designed by Borla, only built by Borla) a touring and sport edition. Here is where it went south for me in following you, and why I asked for the FOMOCO part number. When I checked the Ford website before I bought the S-Type, it indicated the ATAK was the touring exhaust and the S-Type was the sport exhaust. There was never any mention about a FOMOCO touring and sport exhaust or part number... only the two Borla systems, the other thing that is throwing me off, is if you order the S-type or ATAK through FP and have Ford install it, the exhaust will be covered under the factory warranty, because they are FP exhausts. Riddle me that one Batman! After what I just went through with Ford Warranty dening my claim because both rear taillights developed internal stress cracks and glue separation in the same location on both lights... the warranty division gave me three different versions as to why they denied the claim... the first denial reason, was I “improperly” removed the right taillight which was totally laughable... but I never removed the left... so they came up with another reason for denial... even though cracks were evident, there was no condensation inside the taillight, so there was no reason to replace them because it was not considered defective.... the third reason, was the icing on the cake... the cracks could not be attributed to a fitment issue because the brand new Raptors on the dealers lot did not show any cracks. Even Matt at FP, thought that was not right... so I paid for a new right taillight because it actually broke at the front lower corner. No, I did not pry it out, I removed the two 8mm screws holding it in place, and pulled straight back and it popped out, unfortunately, that corner came off in my hand. Funny thing was, after I put it back on, without that small broken piece, the light fit better. The gap was equal all the way around the light. So with regard to the exhausts, I am at a loss, because there are different stories being given... Bottom line is I’m just glad I got a Borla system... at least I can trust them!
