    Mods for Next Winter

    The car is actually a 2002. Old car car was a 97, never changed the screen name. I think I will do the TB/plenum and drop in a k&n filter for now, get a tune from American muscle and see where things sit, then do the cams next year after the tax return. How difficult was the cam install, any...

    Mods for Next Winter

    Well it looks like I may have an oppurtunity to do some work on the car over the next year. I be cross training at the gas company and be working in the field so I'll have a company truck to drive and will be able to park the mustang. It will be great to keep the miles off the car for a year...

    2004 GT Exhaust

    I went with Pypes because I liked the sound and price. It's pretty loud but not overwhelming.

    motor trend----2011 gt vs. SS vs. srt-8

    yeah, it hurts though because I told myself no car payment ever again, and i've spent enough on the 02 GT that I want to keep building it up. I hate that I'll need to go to a blower to keep pace with the newer pony cars. But I am glad Ford is kicking A$$ and taking names.

    Pypes Violator

    I have long tubes, catted x pipe, and the pypes violator cat back. I'll try and record a video. What I like a bout the pypes is that it isn;t too loud cruising or at idle, but it gets loud if you give it some real throttle. When I had the cat back only, the car did gain 10 rwhp so it's a good...

    Which Mods to start with???

    I think, and this is a humble opinion of course, get to know the car over a few weeks/months and do any maintenance that shows up during your driving. From there, I would: 1) 3.73 or 4.10 gears depending on how much driving you do and a Steeda Tri Ax. I really think this should be done to...

    Header/steering Q's...long story

    yeah i was doing some searching. I actually unbolted the steering shaft yesterday and somehow by tightening the bolts and moving things around i got just enough clearance to eliminate the engine noise coming in to the car.

    Header/steering Q's...long story

    I have the C.A.M. headers too, and am fighting the same problem. The shaft barely-BARELY touches so steering isn't affected, but I get a lot of engine noise being transmitted into the interior of the car which is a lot louder than you would think. My thinking if to drop the steering shaft...

    Questions on Replacing Stereo

    I used to have a 97, have an '02 now. If I replace speakers, would I be looking for a component set up or just some two way 6x8's or whatever?

    Questions on Replacing Stereo

    Why would it sound bad with the new deck and factory speakers?

    Questions on Replacing Stereo

    The 6 disc changer has gotten jammed again and nothing seems to get it freed up so it's time for a new deck. Is there anything odd or particular I need to know about or can I just swap out the old deck for a new one? Is this what I need? Kenwood - 50W x 4 Apple® iPod®-Ready In-Dash CD...

    Suggestions Welcome for next 3-5 mods...

    I'm a fan of long tubes myself. Nothing like it in the sound dept. and I gained a lot of power from it. I would say shocks, struts, and either save for a blower or go to long tubes.

    Do any of you find yourselves wanting an s197?

    I like the new Mustangs, but, the cost is just too much for me to stomach. Plus, I tend to like the ones with aftermarket ground effects and bigger wheels, which is even more money. And they are heavy. But some of them are drop dead gorgeous. My car is almost paid off, and once I get my cams...
