They are both great cars, I have always loved Mustangs and Camaros. My first car was a Mustang and my senior year of highschool I had a Camaro. I miss the hell out of both of those cars. I really like the styling of the older Camaros though. The 2010 Stang has my vote on looks. I am impressed by...
Subframes are a good place to start. You need to build a good foundation to work from in the future. I agree with everyone else, weld them in and don't bother with the bolt ons.
Between the two I'd have to go with the Magnaflows, got a friend with them on a Vortech blown 92LX and they sound sweet. My favorite is of course biased though because it's what I have on my car. Mac full length, Mac off road and Borlas with dumps. Love that deep rumble.
I've got dumps on mine with Borla mufflers and it is loud. I love the deep tone, my car will set off car alarms when I idle through a parking lot. Yes it does make my car very dusty though.
Gears that low are in no way interstate friendly but you should have no problem making the trip. I have 3.73s in mine and at 65 -70mph it really starts to suck gas. Just don't get in any hurry and have plenty of gas money and you will be fine.
I have a buddy with a 94GT. I helped him install a set of BBK shorties. He still has his stock h pipe and everything bolted right up. I have a 90GT and it had equal lenght BBK shorties and the stock h pipe with hollowed out cats when I bought it.
+1 I would really be checking into that soon. Running out of gas is not something you want to do because it is such a stupid mistake. I have an 78 Chevy Luv with a 383. When I bought it the fuel gauge didn't work. I knew it was low but I was sure I had enough to make it to the bank before I went...
I have Borlas with dumps, yeah they are loud. I like the sound they give you though. It's alot deeper that when I had tailpipes. I set car alarms off when I idle through a parking lot.
The Centerforce Dual Friction is well worth the money. I've had a King Cobra and a Zoom kevlar and neither even come to the Centerforce I'm running now. By far my favoriate.
I am running Fel Pro Loc Wire gaskets on my car, I have had them a couple of years and don't remember the part number. Purchased them at Panhandle Performance in PC Fla. and they did the machine work as well. No problems so far.
Working on the rear end is not something you want to do without experience. It is very easy to mess things up and have gears that wine. I suggest taking it to a shop that has the tools and knowledge to do it right. Nothing against your skills but if you are not sure of how to do it I wouldn't...
The bare wire hanging down sounds possible and would be the first place I checked. Other than that I don't see how the clutch and stereo could have anything to do with each other.
