    Threw a plug!!!!!

    Talk about knock on wood, my buddy at work yesterday morning was telling me this happened to his girlfriends stang, and mine blew one out on the way home that afternoon. She didn't have an extended warranty though, big $$$$$$$$$, the dealer said it would have cost me about 4 G's if didn't have...

    Threw a plug!!!!!

    When I found out some info on the new head(s) I will pass along. The service manager at my dealership is also the guy who runs our mustang so I'm sure I'll get a straight answer from him. This plug loosening thing shouldn't be happening, is it because the heads are aluminum?? I never run into...

    Threw a plug!!!!!

    When I talked to the service rep he said the cause was the thickness of the metal where the plug threads into the head, apparently it's not very thick. I wasn't beating on the car when it happened, just cruising at 80 on the highway when the check engine light came on and the engine started...

    Threw a plug!!!!!

    It had different plugs in, the service rep said it wasn't a plug problem, he said the thickness of the material where the plug threads in was the problem. He said Ford covers it either way. he also said the new heads were supposed to be better, but I don't know if thats true, I just hope they...

    Threw a plug!!!!!

    Well, I was driving home from work today and threw a plug for the #3 cylinder, I barely limped it into Ford and they said it definitely did, I will get the extended warranty every time I buy a car now. It's only costing me 50$!! I hope they replace both heads though, I'd hate for it to happen on...

    H Pipe Leak Question..

    The passenger side of my H pipe is leaking at the exhaust manifold, I know there is a gasket in there, does anyone make an aftermarket one that is better than stock? The ticking noise sitting at idle with the windows open is driving me nuts! Luckily I can't here it with the windows up. One more...

    Bassani X-pipe With...

    I have maganapacks on my 02 GT and put on an O/R Bassani X pipe, it was way too loud, the idle was OK but when you were part and full throttle it was really loud, I didn't care for the sound either. I also felt a noticeable loss in TQ as well. I think I like the sound of the H's better anyways...

    Bullitt Gauge Cluster

    You don't have to have anything programmed, just swap out the printed circuit board from your cluster, just be sure not to bend or break any pins. The hardest part will be getting the headlight knob off. I just did this myself, it doesn't take too long.

    Steeda Performance Calibration Package

    I was looking at this for my 02' GT, it would be the 3:73 gears, anyone have experience with it? From what I can see it's gears, a CAI, and a reflash of the computer for 300$:flag:

    Magnapacks and Bassani O/R X pipe

    Yeah, I try not to take it past 5000 rpm, with gas prices the way they are and I just don't really like to beat on my car, I'm sure they can handle the RPM's but I plan on keeping it a long time. I will get the sound clip before I pull it off today as promised. Would an aftermarket catted H...

    Magnapacks and Bassani O/R X pipe

    Oh well.... Well I really wish I could get over how loud it is, I don't think I really care for the X-pipe sound, I like my stock H pipe sound much better, more of a muscle car sound, the X pipe sounds more like nascar. I definitely think it's too much with the packs. Besides I think the car...

    Magnapacks and Bassani O/R X pipe

    Well after two days of driving with it I have decided it's just way too loud with the pack's, I'm sure it sounds better with chambered mufflers. It's up for sale with the steeda mil's if someone is interested, if not I'll put it on Ebay- :flag:

    Magnapacks and Bassani O/R X pipe

    I'll try to get the clip today, I think it may be leaking from the right side where it bolts up to the exhaust manifold.

    Magnapacks and Bassani O/R X pipe

    Hey- just installed my x pipe last night, got a couple questions- Does the raspiness of the pipe almost sound like an exhaust leak? I felt around all the fittings with my hands while it was running and couldn't feel any- any other ways to detect them? It also kinda smells like it's running...

    Way too much complaining Ya know, I don't post on this website much because there a some people on here that complain if you post a question that has already been answered. Now I am no Mustang guru and have a life other than my car, so I don't know everything about it. Some people don't want to...

    Bullitt Cluster

    I kept searching under "mustang gauge cluster" or "mustang instrument cluster", there seems to be one that pops up about once or twice a week. Definitely worth the effort to keep searching for one-
