    Which shocks

    If you don't want to drop a whole lot of cash on adjustables, then I would get the Tokico HP shocks and struts. I've heard only good things from the guys using those.

    ??? Tokico's adjustibles VS. Bilstien's ???

    I have never ridden in a car with Bilsteins, but I'm happy with my Tokico adjustables. I have definitely noticed the difference in what kind of turns the car can handle without losing it. It's nice to be able to change the setting when I go on long trips - its about as long to adjust them as...

    Magnapacks on the way

    Install took me about 2 hours. It would have taken me a 1/2 hour less if I hadn't spent so much time trying to twist and work the old pipes out and over the rear axle. Just go ahead and hacksaw them - thats what I did. Other than that the Magnapacks are good stuff, I hope you like them, cause...

    How much Oil do you put in your 4.6?

    My mustang has me confused. The owner's manual states that the refill capacity for an oil change including the filter is 6 quarts. I just put in 6qts, cranked the engine, let it run for a minute, and then checked the dipstick. It read that I was below the minimum level, so I put another half...

    Just ordered my Magnaflow catback, questions?

    I'm with him - I installed the Maganapacks onto my car in my driveway without any problems in less than 2 hours start to finish. Everything that comes in their box fits together like legos, so its impossible to screw it up. Like said earlier, the only bad part is getting the old pipes out from...

    magnapack tip bracket thing

    :stupid: That is wierd. A couple of days after I put my magnapacks on I noticed that one of the tips had moved slightly, so I straighted it and re-tightened its fastener (on the same hanger thing that you're talking about). I have never heard them rattle before. If I were you, I would get...

    Is it possible to get 300hp without boost?

    I've seen a couple of people push past 300 rwhp without any forced induction. However, I think they may have spent as much money taking that route as compared to just buying a supercharger.

    A/C and MAX A/C

    No, you're right. Running the A/C is a heat transfer, and the heat inside your car won't just disappear, it has to go somewhere. So yes, you will build up more heat under the hood with the A/C on.

    '04 Muffler size needed

    I must admit that I don't know much about the v6 models, so I ask for yalls expertise. A friend of mine has just bought an '04 v6 and wants a new muffler that sounds noticeable but isn't trying to be so loud that it sounds like a fart can on some ricer mobile. I'm recommending to her the...

    New to Sound Systems- Need advice on how to get started

    Thanks for the tip. I guess that I'll get in touch with these people and find the right box that will also fit in my trunk. Also, the last time I talked to the Best Buy sales rep, he mentioned that I would need to change out my head unit because "The bass on Ford cars drop as the volume is...

    Can I have 17" Rims on my 92'?

    The width of the wheel you pick is very important to determining which size tire you need. I don't think that you will have any issues with rubbing at all if you are staying at 17"s.

    New to Sound Systems- Need advice on how to get started

    Thanks for your help so far, I'd be nowhere without you. Sorry to keep bothering you guys, but I need to pick your brain some more. I called Best Buy and they quoted me $180 for the installation. Is this about right, or am I getting ripped? Is it worth me learning how to install this stuff...

    New to Sound Systems- Need advice on how to get started

    Well you guys have certainly enlightened me that this is not a cheap thing to do. A budget of $300 indeed looks foolish, so I'm ready to spend into the $500 area. I have no problem buying used stuff, but I don't know anyone interested in selling their stuff. As per your suggestion, I've...

    New to Sound Systems- Need advice on how to get started

    What I've got right now is an '02 GT with the Mach 460 and zero personal knowledge of sound systems. I've talked to some of my friends about what exactly I need to do, but they don't seem like they know what they're talking about so I did some searching on this forum but all that has done is...

    Mach 460 questions

    It does the same to me. I'm not worried about it-it's never even really bothered me. It all works fine to me.

    Lost Lug Nut Key

    Thanks everybody for all of your suggestions and helpful advice. After none of the local shops being of any help, especially my ford dealership, and all of my attempts at hammering sockets onto the locks ending in failure, I almost gave in to despair. Luckily, a friend of my father's...
