Sorry kids are older and I don’t have the car seat anymore. The video is 7 years old now. Lighting was tough with the tint in the car and I used a gorpro head mount to shoot the video so my hands were free. Happy it pointed you in the right direction.

I’m not too sure, the owners manual should have the part number.

That’s awesome, the 3L is a solid engine.

It won’t work, the Sport had the 3.5L V6 and the SEL had either the 3.0L or 2.5L.

Awesome! They sure sound good with some exhaust work!

Awesome! They’re great cars!

Taking the cats out would likely increase volume and possibly make it more raspy too. If it’s already too obnoxious it would only make things worse.

@@99MCougar if I get a cat delete, I’m thinking of throwing a evil energy muffler on too tone it down if it’s too loud without the cat. Resonator and cat delete with the evil energy muffler I just hope it’s still loud a little bit but toned down

The muffler should help tone things down. You could always try the muffler first and if it sounds good but a little on the quiet side then go ahead and cut out the cats. It will turn up the volume a bit. Keep in mind if you have any emissions testing you won’t pass.

@@99MCougar I might just get a high flow cat honestly

I’m not too sure to be honest. I’m sure there is info up on the K&N website

Couldn’t agree more!

Hey there, yup I still have it! It’s a great car.

How many miles im worried about my water pump​@@99MCougar

Hey there, the tune I have disabled the downstream O2 sensors. I had the tune done before they came down on the tuners for turning them off. I think tuners now have to leave them on. I have heard that the O2 foolers work well though.

Sorry, late reply but this won’t work with an old 5.0L. I’m sure K&N makes a lot for the 90’s 5.0L V8’s

Totally agree. It’s a weird design and I actually found out about it after I got the car (new back in 2011). That being said Ford makes a ton of these motors and mine has been rock solid since new. I had the 3L duratec swapped into my old 1999 Cougar. That was a fun car as well.

@@99MCougar thats good to hear. I dont know anyone with a fusion sport and i wondered how they were holding up.

@@shadowbanned3716 they’re pretty solid cars, they also have the Asin transmission which is solid.

Awesome! They’re great cars. You’ll love a V6! Especially if it’s a Sport

The sleeve gives you the factory MAF diameter. The sleeve will give you a bigger MAF and require a tune

@@99MCougar thank you

The Fusion has been awesome. I have had it since new in 2011 and I have no complaints. It’s pretty low mileage (120,000km/75,000miles) but it has been rock solid reliable over the years.

@@99MCougar thats great! I am especially happy to see that you still own it. Very good.

@@99MCougar You still own yours I'm guessing? I'm thinking about buying my dad's 2012 sport and building it I like the potential it has

@@poopyfarthead6871 yes I still have mine! They’re great cars, really underrated and fly under the radar as an enthusiast car. Absolutely love mine. What are your plans with the build?

Yeah it’s a shame they didn’t gain popularity. Awesome cars with decent power and handling.

Thanks! I think the only option I’m missing is remote start!

Hahaha pretty late stop! I thought he was going to make the video even more interesting for a second.. I was covering the brake anticipating the roll 😂

They are the factory wheels with the XTR package. I didn’t mind them but they were a chrome clad so they weren’t too durable

That’s awesome! Pretty big improvement!

That’s too bad to hear. I think it’s one of the more reliable drivetrains in the 2010-2012 Fusion. I have been fairly lucky and all the car needed was wear and tear parts over the 11 years of ownership.

Cd3performance sells the Steeda intake as well as a bunch of other performance parts.

That’s a rare car! Not too many 4cyl manuals around. That’s 2.5L is solid as well. Have fun with it!

Im going to have a lot of fun with it. It even has all the options that you could get with the SE package. Got it with only 68k original miles back in 2019, I have 102k at the moment. So far I've lowered with Godspeed Coilovers, bumper cold air intake, slotted rotors, and minor stuff to it. You can find a 0-60 video on my channel, though the clutch is getting old and starting to slip. I plan on upgrading to stage one clutch and boosting it with CorkSport Mazdaspeed 6 parts (practically the same car/engine)

Right on! Glad you enjoy the car. For whatever reason Ford still calls it a Duratec but it is in the Cyclone engine family. The Mustang had the 3.7L Cyclone which is basically just a bigger version of our engine with 305hp. As far as the chrome goes the 2010’s had the regular chrome, 2011’s were slightly darker and 2012’s were even darker then the 2011’s. The amount of bolstering was the same throughout all model years, they just had the option of red or blue inserts. That’s great to hear yours stayed in the family! They really are like a baby SHO haha.

@@99MCougar yeah it's a great car hard to believe it's considered an old one already! Shame Ford doesn't make the Fusions anymore.

@@mattmaverick703 I know what you mean! It sure aged well over the last 10 years. Hopefully thing change and they bring the Fusion back to North America.

Nope that was the navigation package that came on all 2010-2012 models Edit: I should say that was available to all models.

And are the pre cats inside of the exhaust manifold “headers” ?

Not late at all, never hurts to ask! I never had the car on the dyno but it did feel like it had a bit more power. As far as location yes they’re in the manifolds/headers. If you drop the Y-pipe and look up you will see them. They are 2 stage cats so there is a cat after the O2 sensor and one before in each manifold. I took out the O2 sensors to be sure I didn’t damage them and re-installed. Keep in mind if you have emissions testing the car will fail without cats and you will have a check engine light unless you get the O2 foulers or a tune to turn off downstream O2 sensors.

@@99MCougar im in a MKZ same drivetrain as you already tuned by "tuning by james" tunes will work catless but will still have the check engine light i plan on getting inspected soon and then removing the Pre cats in the headers. Hoping to pick up a little bit of power not much aftermarket support for us besides, intakes and tunes. Do you know if anyone just makes long tube headers or just better headers in general?

@@aidanstitzer7316 the MKZ is a great car too, a Fusion in a tuxedo lol. They just came down on tubing companies recently who were turning off the O2 sensors (so you don’t get an engine light) for guys running no cats. I don’t think there is many that are ok with it these days. No long tube headers for sure, I’m not even sure there would be enough room. No aftermarket headers but there was a guy that made 3.5L Altima headers work with modification on his FWD Sport. As far as other aftermarket you can port the intake manifolds and get a bigger throttle body from Max bore. That really helps the engine breathe. You can also port the heads. Plus you could do a 3.7L swap. Supersix motor sports has some other things available like cams too.

@@99MCougar I would 100% get cams. Supersix makes cams for this motor or is it for a different motor but fits to ours ?

Steeda advertises it as 12hp without the tune and 25hp with their 91 Oct tune. I had their tune before and it is only slightly better then stock. I would recommend an Unleashed tune instead. Power aside I think it makes a better overall driving experience. You get the induction noise and it makes the car feel a bit more sporty.

I think in this video I had the intake, tune, exhaust work, lowered, upgraded pads and fluid. Now I have ported intake manifolds and a bigger throttle body from max bore. Fun car!

No tuning necessary. I had the factory tube but to get the most out of the intake and truck a tune is probably the best bang for your buck mod.

No problem! Happy it helped!

Sorry for the late reply, they’re great cars and handle really well for their size. I’ve driven the 2.5L, 3L and of course my Sport. I’m a sucker for more power but they are all great cars.

Thanks!

Lol to be honest that was partly my fault. There was a chip right on the edge and I didn’t see it until it cracked. Couldn’t see the chip from the inside. I know what you mean though!!

Haha thank you!! I highly recommend autocross! It’s the most fun you can have in a car with your cloths on!

I have all the details in the description! Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions

On a Sport? How do you like it? I’ve done a fair bit to mine since this video

For sure! I like how they thought of the little things like this. Much more natural feeling pulling towards you for up shifts.

Yes and no. You can get a Steeda, K&N or Injen intake for your 2.5L but they are specific to your engine. So yes and intake will work for your 2.5L but the 3.5L one I installed wouldn’t work for you. The install process is relatively similar though.

@@99MCougar Thanks. If it bumps me up at least 7-8hp id do it just to be able to pass people on a highway lol.

@@thunderthumbz3293 I’m not too sure how much more power it will give you, a tune would be a great addition and help more then an intake. It will be more fun to drive with the intake though, makes your car sound a little more sporty

Yes, the side skirt or it might be called a rocker panel. Your best bet is to search on car-part.com for a used one or you could go to the dealer but they are super expensive new and come unpainted so there is extra cost there too

@@99MCougar ok thanks so much for your help I’ve been looking forever for that part!!

@@tinalashay2498 no problem! I hope it helps. Of course there is eBay and other places too but that website searches all the wrecking yards in North America

@@99MCougar yes I’ve tried eBay and other sites and could not find anything. I’m actually on the side you suggested and I found one. Your are awesome!!

@@tinalashay2498 awesome! Happy to hear. Best of luck!!

Just turn off the TCS and you can kick out the rear with the throttle. If you go too sideways the stability will kick in and set you straight. I found that if you initially kick out the car and as long as your steering angle isn’t huge the stability is less invasive. As far as studded vs non-studded I found that the regular non studded have been great. It depends on your climate though. We get a lot of melt/freeze cycles so there can be ice but lots of time the roads are just dry but cold. I would talk to your local tire shop and see what they advise.

@@99MCougar thank you I’ll probably get the studded it’s good when it’s icy I’m in nh so we get ice under all our snow it helped with deep snow. Thank you for that though gonna have to try this winter. U have a snap you post your stuff on? I’d like to add you and follow the build/ show u when I get the MKZ set up. I’m gonna eventually do the steeda cai and exhaust also just not sure of muffler I want yet and if I want a res delete with it.

@@russellkane5181 I have some exhaust videos up as well, muffler delete as well as vibrant resonators in place of the mufflers. I’m not on Snapchat but I’m on Instagram @fusephotography. I honestly haven’t done much to the car lately, I’ve kind of done everything I had planned. Still a fun car though!

@@99MCougar I followed, not to much else to do to the sports 😂 I gotta get my stuff done eventually. The new fusion sports are crazy though if u have seen them. They’re like 16K used but they haul

@@russellkane5181 the aftermarket is pretty limited on the Sports. Porting the intake manifolds and getting a bigger throttle body helps a ton. I haven’t got into porting the heads or anything but you never know lol maybe one day. The new ones are a rocket in a straight line but I think our gen has better suspension/chassis to be honest. I would love to drive my Sport around a track and a new one with the same tires. I haven’t had a chance to race one but I’m curious how it would do

Nothing significant. I think the 12’s have a slightly darker smoked grille and maaaybe wheels. There is rumours that it has better/upgrades impellers in the water pump too.

@@99MCougar thanks

Thanks!

Haha it’s just habit!

@@99MCougar I know right 😆
