    Thinking of welding straight pipes, instead of mufflers

    If it were my car, and I didn't have the money for mufflers or a new cat-back, I would at least want to hear what a straight-piped 4.6 GT sounded like. Does anyone here have any sound clips? A friend of mine reomved his stock cat-back and just ran the factory h-pipe on his '89 GT. It didn't...

    MIL Eliminators on O/R X-Pipe?

    I was always under the impression that whenever the SES light is on, your car automatically goes into "limp mode", so that whatever the problem is, the car will be less likely to be able to damage itself further. I dunno, just what I heard from the owner of a Mustang performance shop. That...

    Is Speedcal a good product?

    :stupid: I completely agree. It was easy to install and works great. Also, you can adjust it for tons of different gear ratios from like 2.73 to 6.3x. This means that you'd be able to compensate for, say, 28" slicks. Just my 2 cents.

    problems hooking up

    My rear suspension actually took me a lot longer than my front. This was because I was installing LCA's at the same time. In order to remove the LCA's, I had to unbolt and move the rear half of my cat-back to reach the bolt that secures the LCA to the unibody. That sucked. :nonono: Sorry if...

    Pick my mufflers....

    Cherry Bombs!!! :D :rlaugh: Just kidding. I'd go with Magnapacks if you're on a budget, Borla if you've got the dough. :nice:

    Quick expertise please!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If your oil is close to when it needs to be changed, I'd go ahead and do that now before you start the car. I have been away from mine for a month before, and it just fired it up......no problems. :D

    what size tire......

    If it were me, I'd do a 265/35-18 in front, and either a 275/35-18 or a 285/35-18 out back. That will keep you very close to the stock diameter. The 275 is a hair shorter than stock, while the 285 is a hair taller. Just my 2 cents.

    What kind of performance loss with 18's?

    Just get some lightweight 18's and you'll have the best of both worlds. I think Steeda Ultra-Lites are only like 22 lbs each (can't remember what the stockers weigh, but it more than that). Go with my personal favorite, BBS RK's :hail2: , and their 18x10" is only like 19 lbs. Too bad they...

    what is needed with 4.10's?

    That's what they used in mine, and the guy who did it just works mainly on Mustangs. The shop is called All Ford Performance. And this was the second set of gears he installed for me. So yes, I'd say that will work.

    what is needed with 4.10's?

    Depends on where you get 'em installed. I just brought my gears in, and the shop supplied everything else in the install price except for the Track-Lok rebuild kit (another $75 w/extra clutches) and Amsoil synthetic fluid for another $18.

    Switching from 3.73's to 4.10's (worth it)

    Just put the money towards a blower. :nice:

    It's tire time for me... need advice!

    The reason you spend the extra money on Z-rated tires is because they have a softer tread compound and therefore will stick to pavement better. Yes they cost more. Yes, they wear out faster. But yes, they also perform better. If you don't corner or accelerate hard, the harder tires should be...

    It's tire time for me... need advice!

    I recently bought new wheels and had Yokohama AVS ES-100's mounted on them. I was told that they would hook as good as the Nitto 555, but they were cheaper, so I tried them. On wet pavement, they made a world of difference over the stockers and had a great amount of resistance to hydoplaning...

    Rear Shock Isolators

    I myself have never run my car with the isolators, but I've heard of several people who have without any problems and with several different types of springs. On the other hand, others do have problems with ride harshness and suspension niose. Removing them is always a gamble. If it were me...

    what size are the rear and front speakers

    Another option is to buy 5 1/4's, which will fit easily. All you have to do is cut a piece of 1/4" hardboard in the shape of the old speaker and cut a hole in the middle of it to set the new speaker in. There are far more choices in 5 1/4", which is why I did it. I ended up mounting Focal...

    Will a 2001 hood and bumper cover fit on a 97?

    I don't know for sure, but I really doubt it. At least this'll give ya a bump.

    whats the best one

    Another vote for the Cobra Killer Mongoose kit. Probably the best mix of power/reliability/price out there right now.

    Tuned KB - New #'s!!!

    Did I miss something? Where the hell does it curve? :shrug: :D :hail2:

    N/A ET's, MPH, and RPM's with 373's ?

    :stupid: That's exactly what I'm about to do. With the addition of my suspension mods, 4.10's, timing adjuster, and BFG drag radials, I'm shooting for some really LOW 13's. Good luck! :nice:
