Explorer Sport upgrades

My lease is up on my 13 FX4 and I'm thinking about an explorer sport, is there any upgrade parts available, like CAI, larger downpipes, bigger turbos, etc? I know I can get custom tunes and a cat back exhaust.

I'd do just a tune first.

I don't know how wise it is to do mods on a leased vehicle............

I haven't decided on anything yet, depends on what my payments would be on a buyout vs. dumping it for something else.

My FX4 has been modded and I've modded previous leased vehicles, my dealer don't care. I've been a customer there for 17 years, they let me do whatever I want to the vehicles and don't say a word.

Well yesterday I went and looked and drove an explorer sport, a fusion sport, a 17 F150 xlt w/5.0 and a mustang GT convertible with a manual and the performance pack. Long story short, the fun factor won out, so I'm getting the mustang.

For those who don't know, the performance pack gets you 15" 6 piston brembo brakes in the front, upgraded radiator, 3.73 gears with a torson diff, two more gauges in the center stack, different springs re-calibrated EPAS, and other stuff I can't remember. Not bad for 2,995, the brakes alone are 1,800 for the upgrade from ford racing.
