    Someone please solve my nagging exhaust questions

    Hey guys, I'm planning on getting my exhaust system pretty soon for my 95 GT but I had some questions. Now, what I'm planning on getting before was the following: BBK LT's Spintech Sportsman Mufflers, and a Dr. Gas X pipe with tail pipes. Now I'm having second thoughts again and now don't...

    How do you all think this exhaust will sound?

    I just looked at Mustangs Unlimited and found this. Is this the right one to get? http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=BBK1676+01 How hard is it to bolt exhaust in? How exactly does it get bolted in the first place? Just regular bolts and nuts, nothing fancy? Lastly, the Dr...

    How do you all think this exhaust will sound?

    Well not that it's a bad thing, I just like being different. Same reason I didn't buy Cobra R's when I was rim shopping. :D Thanks for the feedback guys. I forgot to mention in my first post but I WILL be running this setup WITH tailpipes. That should make it sound even better correct...

    How do you all think this exhaust will sound?

    Hey guys, I've been trying to piece out my first exhaust system and I've finally narrowed it down. Any ideas how it will sound? I tried to put emphasis on quiet idle, hardly any drone at the 3k mark, but f'in SCREAMS at WOT. -BBK 1 5/8 long tube headers -X pipe (unsure if I want Dr. Gas or...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Thank you for that info. So I just went out there and before cleaning the cables at the PDC, I wanted to probe the A and the I wires with my multimeter to see what it was registering. I didn't do the A yet but when I probed the I, which is the green one, it registered 12 volts (I recharged...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    I'll check that first thing today but what if that doesn't do it, what's the next step? If possible, I'd like to have a list of what to do so I don't do one thing then spend time waiting for another reply. If that sounds selfish in any way, I apologize. I just really want this fixed lol...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    How do I test if it's hot? Simply touch it? And what makes the yellow wire get hot even though the key is off with the d plug unplugged? And the green wire has a fuse at the end? I had no idea. All I kinda saw was the green and yellow wires plug into another plastic doohickey which got...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Well, bad news. :notnice: Today I finished the wire job and when I completed it, I really had high hopes this would fix it, since I remember when I plugged my factory D-plug in the time before, it worked flawlessly. But that all changed when I fired it up. Same o f'in story, except this...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Hey sorry man, just one more question popped into my mind. Sorry, lol. :) I was thinking about this and have no idea if it will work. Never hurts to ask, right? Anyway, what about re-using the wiring harness I got from the company but cutting off the ends of the blue terminal (the one that's...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Well I'll be damned, lol. Now that looks like exactly what I need but just a quick question. How would I obtain that plastic piece that fits on the stator? Could I just cut the one of the new wiring harness (the one that's in the pics) and splice that on the correct wire? Again, thanks for...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Alright, now that I know what to do, what is the stock piece I need called? A stock D-plug? And hopefully lastly, where can I get this? Do I have to place an order online or is it common enough to have parts store carry them? Thanks a ton man for all the info. :nice:

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Alright, thank you much for that information. I just went outside and snapped a few pics. Here's the blue wiring being plugged into the D plug (lol, thank you) A pic of the wiring harness I used that came with the kit showing where each wire leads. Same shot as before, but different angle...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Hey guys, I did a little searching and found something similar to my problem. It's from one of the tech questions at powermaster. Not exactly the same since they're focused on racing alternators but here it is. "I noticed that my Powermaster one wire alternator has to be “revved up” to get...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Thanks for that info. I'd figure since it actually was recharging at a certain rpm, I'd be fine for a little while until some more funds come in so I could fix it then. Or so I though. Well, it just happened. I was driving out this morning, it did it's little thing about not working until 2k...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Whoops, sorry guys, thought I had a sig here. The car is a 95 GT so it already came with a 130 amp but when that one died, I was looking at one to get and was about to decide on a PA Performance 130 amp alternator when I found out a company called Tuff Stuff, which I looked up to see if there...

    Why is my alternator doing this?

    Hey guys, I have something going on with my alternator that's annoying as hell. For some reason, whenever I'm idling or my rpm are less then 2.5, maybe 3k rpm, the battery gauge will drop, and if I have lights on, they will dim, indicating the battery isn't getting recharged. But whenever I...

    Is this the correct part number for an Optima battery?

    Whoops, forgot to ask one more question. Do the Optima batterys come fully charged from the factory? Reason I ask is because when I swapped out batteries, and after I started up the car, the needle on the battery gauge was inbetween the "N" and the "O" on the NORMAL lettering on the gauge. Is...

    Is this the correct part number for an Optima battery?

    What a piece of cake that was. I saw what you guys were saying about notching it. The side near the positive terminal was a wee bit small so I just snipped the corners so it could fold out and it plopped right in. Although I almost had a problem with the positive terminal because at first, it...

    Is this the correct part number for an Optima battery?

    Did you trim just trim the one sides corner so it could somewhat bend in there or did you remove the back side completely? Do you think something to cut it like shears or something like that could work on it? I mean the tray isn't really difficult to cut is it? Thanks man.
