    Muffler Heat Shield

    Thanks, Iwashmycar. By the way, I got the install done, and the Flows sound really good. I had no idea what they would sound like. I got them because everyone said that they sound really good, especially the 2-chamber ones. I like the 3-chamber 50 series. Loud enough, but not too loud, for a...

    Muffler Heat Shield

    Cool, another data point! Thanks U2SLO450! I'm now pretty confident that the spot-welded heat shields are more than enough. By the way, I'm almost done with the passenger-side muffler and tailpipe installation. I just have to attach the band clamp. Then, I have to do the driver side, but...

    Muffler Heat Shield

    Cool, thanks for the info, Darkwriter! That gives me more confidence that my Stang won't burst into flames or something. I like your suggestion of using Dynamat as a noise shield and heat shield, underneath the carpet.

    Muffler Heat Shield

    I just talked to a person at Flowmaster, and a muffler tech, and they both said that, if the Flowmaster already has a heat shield on it, then I don't need to add another heat shield. The Flowmaster guy said that they throw that warning notice into every Flowmaster package, even when it's not...

    Muffler Heat Shield

    Hmmm. Maybe it's a new thing. Maybe someone's car caught fire or something, so they started welding heat shields on their mufflers, and issuing warnings. Or, because it's the 50 series, and supposed to be quieter inside the car, I wonder if that top shield is a noise shield, rather than a...

    Muffler Heat Shield

    Thanks for the input. By the way, I just added photos of the stock muffler and Flowmaster to my original post. Did your Flowmasters have heat shields, like the one shown in the Flowmaster photo?

    Muffler Heat Shield

    Hello, I'm getting ready to install my new Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow 3-Chamber cat-back exhaust (part number 17203). There is a warning notice (from Flowmaster) that came with the kit, saying to be sure to use any stock muffler heat shield, because the Flowmaster mufflers may get...

    I like the orange color.

    You always get what you paid for...

    After I totaled my 02 GT at the drag strip, a co-worker gave me his 88 LX Hatch 5.0 for free. He wasn't driving it anymore, and he knew I'd take good care of it, so he gave it to me. Also, he wanted to minimize liability issues, so he gave it away. It had 137,000 miles on it, but still runs...

    Global West Subframe Connectors - Request For Pics And Install Tips

    Thanks, Nostalgia! However, I did already have that pick, from one of my many thread searches. It's a nice pic, and the only pic of a Global West sfc on a Fox that I've been able to find. If you have the time to provide closer-up pics of the rear end of the connector, and the front end of...

    Global West Subframe Connectors - Request For Pics And Install Tips

    Hello, Does anyone have any pics of Global West subframe connectors installed on a Fox Body? Or install tips? I purchased part numbers 912 and 920 for my 88 Fox hatch, and I'm going to install/weld them myself. http://www.globalwest.net/mustang%2079-98.htm The instructions they sent...

    any stangers in or near centreville virginia??saw some foxes on vac

    Hey, I lived in northeastern Manassas, very near Centerville, from 2002 to 2004. I used to go to the multiplex in Centerville, because it was so close by. I commuted to my job in Falls Church in my Stang every day. It was a nice 30 minute drive on highway 66 (I think that was the highway, it's...

    Optima Battery worth it?

    I like the claim that they don't leak acid. I've been using a Yellow Top, and I've had no problems. After I acquired my Stang, I removed the old battery, and a bunch of stuff underneath it was corroded, from the old battery, which was not an Optima. Hopefully, the Optima will not...

    What do you mean by "sucking air from the ground"?

    How many miles have you got off your stock Fox clutch?

    Mine has 137,000 miles on it, and it seems just fine. However, I don't think that the original owner beat on it much, and I just got it from him a few months ago.

    Cervinis 4" and 2.5" cowl hoods - Please post pics

    By the way, does yours have the underhood liner? I'd like to see what that looks like. Even if it doesn't have the liner, I'd like to see what the underside looks like. I'd also like to see how the vents look, from the back, if you have a chance to take a photo of that. Also, do you know...

    Cervinis 4" and 2.5" cowl hoods - Please post pics

    I thought that was only true for the extended cowl hood, the one that goes all the way back to the window. But, I'm no expert. I had a cowl hood on my old Mustang, with a vent in the back, and it did seem to keep the engine bay cooler. At least, that engine bay seemed way cooler than my...

    Cervinis 4" and 2.5" cowl hoods - Please post pics

    Cool, thanks! I've been debating whether to get the 4" or the 2.5". I like the 4", because it gives me more "room to grow", even though I don't even really need the 2.5" yet.

    Cervinis 4" and 2.5" cowl hoods - Please post pics

    I just went to www.DesignConceptsAuto.com, and it said that their 87-93 cowl hoods don't have a full hood liner. Also, I've heard that the holes in the back are not cut out, that you have to cut them out yourself. I guess that means there are no screens for the vents. I guess, if I didn't want...
