    Installed Cold Air Intake, now...

    That's the same kit that I have. The sound is normal. When I first start my car in the morning to go to work you can really hear the intake sucking in air. Just stand outside your car or roll down the windows when you start it up and you'll be able to hear it.

    which exhaust shop to choose?

    300 for everything (meaning mufflers, pipes, labor) all included is a good price. That's about what I paid for my setup. If the guy in the shop can weld and knows how to match up different pipe sizes and get them to fit together then you should be fine. I had a problem with my shop. This was...

    Mr. Clean Auto Wash

    Check out this Mr. Clean comercial http://www.savethechammy.com/ I personally have one. It works ok. It does leave a spotless wash. But be ready to do some scrubbing. The washer jets are not powerful enough to remove dirt and road film form your car. I found that in order to get the best...

    Is this a good price on springs?

    Don't forget to figure in shipping charges !!! It's less expensive for me to get the springs at MustangTuning then it would be to go through gefracing and then pay the shipping charges. MustangTuning does free shipping on orders over $50 That's something to keep in mind while you shop.

    researching for 8.8 axle swap question and more

    After looking around some more I've found no one really makes exactly what I want. That is an 8.8 with 3.73's already installed. None of the places that sell 8.8's and 3.73 gears separate will install the gears into the rear end for me. So I think I’m stuck with either finding one already...

    Anyone notice this on there dual exhaust?

    From what I’ve read our cars will see the most improvement with dual 2.25" pipes and the mufflers of your choice. Generally speaking most people only upgrade to dual exhaust for the look and sound. There really isn't too much of a performance gain, if anything you may gain a little top end HP. I...

    Anyone notice this on there dual exhaust?

    yes i've noticed this too. Mine are especialy louder when it's a damp cold morning. Water seems to condence inside the pipes and when I first start the car I get a good grumble and a little watter will shoot out the back pipes.

    researching for 8.8 axle swap question and more

    Anyone know if the 99+ axles will fit into a 94-98 housing? From the information I’ve gotten on other boards someone has suggested they will not. Racercosmo at Corner-Carvers.com said, "The 99-up 8.8 housings are a different length than the 86-98 housings. the seals bearings and all other...

    researching for 8.8 axle swap question and more

    I've been searching for a new 8.8 rear end to install on my 2002 V6 auto stang. I've been reading the boards a lot here and over at 3.8L mustangs and have taken in all i can. I've also been scouring the net and pretty much what i've found is that it's impossible to get a new 99+ with any other...

    Bumper Boo Boo...

    Depends on what your deductable is. If your insurance has a higher deductable then 300 bucks I wouldn't go through them. It's cheeper just to search for a whole new front bumper on ebay. I've been watching and they go for about 300 or so. Probably be a good deal if you could find one allready...

    4:10's installed - speedo off?

    Wow 100 seems awful steep. Wouldn't that money be better spent towards a whole new ECU ??? The whole point in doing just a speedo gear would be to save money. So if your going to drop a hundred bucks on a speedo chip you might as well add some more money to it and get the benefits of a new ECU...

    4:10's installed - speedo off?

    For the 99 and newer cars you have to get a chip to correct for the speed.

    4:10's installed - speedo off?

    I'm curious to know how much of a gas mileage difference you've gotten. Everyone is always asking and I read a different response from people each time. Let us know after you get to drive around for a little while. I'm still split between 3.73's or 4.10's for my auto. I do a lot of highway and...

    Geting pulled over is no fun ! Ticket stories

    Let it be put into the record books. I got my first ticket tonight...a dandy too, 56 mph in a 40. I was mad from work, got into a fight with a manager. Was driving home in a hurry just so I could get back and relax, try to calm down. I was driving out of town where it changes from a 30 into a...

    I talked to a muffler company..

    Got my GT takeoffs on Ebay as well. If you can take your time and only bid on new takeoffs, and don't bid any higher then 100 you will eventualy get your self a good deal. I spent two months bidding on auctions with new takeoffs and finaly got lucky and won mine for 80, a killer deal. If you...

    I talked to a muffler company..

    If you want loud then I can vouch for the GT takeoff because I have them. I'll say that at idle they have a faint rumble. Anything above there not much louder over stock. A noticeable difference, but nothing to make people notice your car for it's exhaust tone. If a loud deep sounding exhaust is...

    Cai

    I guess it depends on what kind of custom ram air you have. I know the stock air box is a little restrictive on air flow. So removing that will give you small gains. Don't expect much of any HP gains from a CAI. Maybe 2 or 3 horse. If you plan on doing exhaust mods, port and polish upper and...
