    Lets play NAME THAT PART!!

    i agree about #2, I think that #5 is the EGR valve, i tried to remove mine but its connected to a 1/2 inch spacer one the intake manifold... then the throttle linkage didn't line up correctly, when i get my new intake manifold i'll worry about it. for now all the emmissions crap is disconnected.

    Bike rack for the mustang?

    I'm able to fit two bikes with the rear seat folded down, just becareful when closing or else a pedal might go through the hatch. If you have a notch, there may be no other choice, but yakama (i think) should make some universal racks.
