Hi,
I am an old guy who just got a Fiesta ST, its a loaded black one. I have a few mustangs and you can find me on the GT500 forum.
My Fiesta has a few bolt ons, just trying to figure out what they are and what they do. I am surprised how light the clutch is and the speed and response on the freeway, it is quite a fun car.
I'm in St Louis Missouri.

Thank you sir, I have a lot going on, I am very active on the GT500 forum as I have a GT500. I have different ideas about the Fiesta ST, first being it has a lot of NVH I suppose that is what it is from looking thru this site, because of the aftermarket RMM. It is an orange/reddish colored piece, I dont know who makes it but is is a larger RMM. The car "lugs" at low speed in 1st and sometimes 2nd gear, then the lugging goes away. I am assuming this is the NVH everyone is talking about. Can't back out of my driveway and take off smooth without the car lugging - best description is its like going 10 mph in 4th gear, the engine lugs. I at first thought I had a broken motor mount until I got on the internet and saw these aftermarket pieces and then looked under the car and there it was so I am guessing I need a softer or a stock RMM.

It has nothing but a panel filter and an aluminum coolant tank. I checked the spark plugs, they are stock. It has a whoosh upper radiator hose and looks like a cap on a vacuum(?) hose near the radiator that says whoosh, haven't figured out what thats all about. I am new to all this fiesta stuff.
It rocks and the lugging at low speed is worse with the air on, so I rev it and slip the clutch it goes away but does not make for a "normal" driving experience.

What you assume is vacuum cap is probably the symposer delete... You say plugs are stock, how many miles on the odometer? I never had lugging while stock with a RMM, and still don't after a tune and supporting mods🤷🏼‍♂️
