    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    Okay, the exhaust issue is settled and now it's time for wheels. I figure 17" is the safest way to go since it will be a daily driver all summer and I'm afraid of 18's rubbing or having trouble. I like 17" chrome cobra R's on ebay cause they're fairly cheap and look good but everybody has...

    New Rotors question for 96 GT

    I'm kinda stuck on the final wheel choice. My car is red and I figure chrome looks the best so the wheels are a kind of tough decision. I really don't want to spend over $1000 on wheels so I like Cobra R knock offs on ebay, 280M Motorsport Cobra R's from Performance Wheel Outlet, and SSR GT3...

    New Rotors question for 96 GT

    I want to go ahead and replace my stock rotors and wonder if there are any that don't rust easily. Also, on ebay you can buy slotted rotors for $140 a set. Are these good to get or should cheaper rotors be avoided? Also, does anybody make some decent powder coated calipers or is it just as...

    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    Well, I've made my decision on the exhaust. I'm going with the American Thunder cat back, BBK O/R H-pipe and cats, and bbk headers. This set up should give me that sound I'm looking for. I want that deep Mustang sound that when I get on it rattles everybody else's ears. You guys have been...

    Failed Smog....Need some help

    Do they smog test in every state? I live in Indiana and haven't ever seen smog testing. Could this be a future problem?

    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    I take it that installing the MIL's after the exhaust is done is fairly easy? I found a company called PEP and they have MIL's what looks to be a good price. Are they good? Thanks

    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    Okay, I'm with you now. You have to understand this is my first V8. I'm used to messing with 4 bangers. Now my next question and hopefully my last. With the X pipe, and Flowmaster exhaust won't I still have to rut cats? The shops won't install exhaust without them correct? Also, the car...

    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    Okay, sorry about my stupidity but what is a good oxygen sensor for this set up or what do I need to keep from seeing the check engine light? If I get the long tube headers also, will they bolt up and can I get it done when they hook up my exhaust? This car is my baby and I want it looking good...

    Flowmaster system, which H-pipe to go with it?

    When do they check you for emissions? I've never had any of my cars checked. I just bought my first mustang and really don't want to deal with that. If I get the BBK H-pipe to go with my Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust then I suppose I will have to get new headers correct? I am currently...

    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    Can I use my stock headers with this set up or do they need replaced to? I reall didn't want to get to in depth on the motor yet. If it is a good idea then I will. If I stick with the stock headers with the X-pipe still hook up? Also, do I really need new Oxygen sensors to hook up and run...

    1996 Mustang GT motor and upgrade question

    I just bought me a 1996 Mustang GT with automatic transmission and it has 62000 miles. I gave $6900 for it with the body and interior in great condition and brand new tires on the stock wheels. I was wondering how long these cars usually last without costly rebuilds. Also, what type of engine...
