    Will a 2011 Mustang GT exhaust fit a 2006 mustang v6?

    They SHOULD fit, problem is that the '11+ GT used a sort of ball & socket flange at the mufflers instead of the slip fit that the '05-10 cars had. So you will have to either cut those off the over axle pipes and figure out how to make the slip fit joint work (probably by adding an extension...

    05 Mustang Gt, I need help with identifying custom parts... PICS!

    Well, that's not a brace, that's a torque arm. Didn't even know they made one for the '05-09 cars but it appears Griggs does, although I can't find pictures of one that looks exactly like this one.

    05 Mustang Gt, I need help with identifying custom parts... PICS!

    What brace are you talking about? Don't see anything in the pics. Couldn't tell you much else, these pics don't show a lot. Not sure about the gauge readout, might be some kind of custom job made to look factory.

    2006 Door Panel

    Yeah they can be swapped in. I wrote this up a couple years ago when I did the swap: https://www.s197forum.com/threads/10-14-door-panel-swap-into-05-09.131456/ Others have told me they don't require this much effort, I wanted as close to an OE fit as possible. Be aware the inserts will fall off...

    Need some advice!!!

    Unfortunately these could be signs of water damage to the smart junction box (located in the passenger footwell). Very common on these cars as the cowl drains can become plugged with leaves and debris, and water fills up in the cowl until it spills into the passenger compartment- eventually it...

    How to make my front end look good?

    Yeah swap to a V6 grille. Otherwise you'll have to swap front fascias.

    2005 roush stage 2

    If you will likely do a supercharger, no other power mods are really necessary as any supercharger on the market right now will max out your RWHP for the stock rotating assembly.

    2006 Mustang Options List (As Built)

    Not sure where you could find that but I know on the '05-09 there weren't a ton of options available. I think they pretty much consisted of the premium package (leather and shaker 500 system), optional red accents with premium package on black interior, shaker 1000 upgrade, transmission choice...

    Engine swap

    Why do you want to swap a 3V into that car when it the V6 makes about the same power as the 3V did? At any rate you would most likely need a full harness and ECM, and probably also make sure the fuel system is compatible among other things. TBH I don't know what the particulars would be but it...

    2009 Mustang GT Door Panels Leather Peeling

    It's actually vinyl. At any rate, I've been told the method is to rub as much of the foam off the door panel as you can with your thumb, then use contact cement. I tried this method and it was fine until the first hot day, then the inserts fell off again. Silicone works very well but doesn't...

    Help! Water coming into the rear seat foot-well

    My guess is that would be the culprit since that fit between your glass and the window seal is really the only thing keeping water running off the roof out of the car. I worry about that eventually leaking on mine as well.

    Paint and Body Paint bubbling and flaking off front lip of hood

    Paint bubbling on the aluminum is common. My car has done it although fortunately, not very much and my wife's Explorer is the same way. Ford had some issues with paint on the earlier aluminum hoods.

    Help! Water coming into the rear seat foot-well

    If I had to guess probably your window seal, did you check that?

    Teksid Block in 05 to 09 3V?

    You might have to google that, I believe i read something about 3V timing covers don't fit the older blocks correctly? Can't remember. As for a shortblock or bare block, probably your only choices are auto recyclers or ebay.

    2007 GT/CS uneven front height

    I've had a couple vehicles like this. Not sure if my current Mustang is, if it is it's not that obvious. WIsh I knew what caused it though.

    2006 GT- Shifter Stick Question

    It'll work, I used to have that same stick on my old Hurst. It just fits kinda weird because the serrations to line up with the piece on the shifter ball itself are on the wrong side and I believe the holes are bigger, but if you tighten it down good it'll be fine (on mine I used longer bolts...

    2005 Mustang GT 4.6L Roush Convertable - looking to replace Wheels &Tires

    Just go look at any of the major parts retailers that sell wheel/tire sets, they generally have the widest tires you can run front/rear without causing issues.

    2007 GT/CS Curious metalic ringing/rattle noise

    Yeah, it's the separator plate between the transmission and bellhousing. Easy fix though. If you get under the car, on the bottom of the bellhousing there are two unused threaded bosses in the bellhousing, and two corresponding holes in the separator plate. Can't remember exactly what thread...

    09 gt

    I had a similar problem on a Ranger I used to own, unfortunately I never figured out what it was. Sorry, electrical gremlins are a bitch to figure out.
