    Any plans for your Stang in 2010?

    Full exhaust changeout, ultralite rims, tuner, and, last but not least - new frickin' stereo system! Stock unit blows eggs!

    You know what grinds my gears?

    ...just glad Georgia wasn't listed in the "bumpkin" states... :)

    Exhaust System Recommendation Wanted

    Valuable input C-Horse! That's exactly what I was looking for... Luckily I don't have too many screaming kids around. Do your 'Packs give you the drone?

    Exhaust System Recommendation Wanted

    I live in an apartment complex, and as such would like a high-performance exhaust system that isn't too obnoxious, yet sounds good. Must have long tubes w/ shorty catted X pipe. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

    Stack Racing throttle body

    Agreed. Don't bother with the TB/Plenum unless you have improved exhaust.

    Are underdrive pulleys worth it?

    Easy to install, just make sure you get a 3-bolt puller, torque wrench and breaker bar. Make sure to follow the torquing procedure, too, or else you'll throw some misfire codes. Worth it imo. Some HP gains, plus mpg gains. If you're staying N/A, definitely worth it.

    Stack Racing throttle body

    I just now installed the Professional Products 70mm TB and 75mm plenum. No experience with your brand, but I got a noticeably better throttle response and maybe 8 to 10 hp (still need a dyno verification on that.) Definitely recommended imo.

    Pro 5.0 short throw shifter - A cinch to install and makes the car much more fun to drive. You get into gear much faster than your stock throw buddies... K&N CAI - Another easy, 30 minute install for the wannabee modder like me. Definitely felt the difference, and an increase in gas mileage...

    Installed Steeda UD Pulleys and Misfired?

    Figured it out. Total rookie move. Let's just say this: Read the installation directions. I didn't torque the crankshaft pulley bolt properly. :stupid:

    What's your average MPG?

    I keep VERY anal records on my mpg: 21.70mpg with about 65/35 city/hwy. 87 octane but just switched to 89.

    Installed Steeda UD Pulleys and Misfired?

    Ouch! Heard they break off in a big way, too...

    Installed Steeda UD Pulleys and Misfired?

    The day after I put the pulleys on I started showing codes that indicate misfires in cylinders 3, 4 and 5. Cleared the comp, no probs for a day. Then it shows up again. No stuttering, no weird noises, nothing. Drives silky smooth and accelerates fine. Pretty sure the car has had the...

    Help - Not Much Info on Shorty Headers

    Appreciated, guys. I'll give up on the shorties and just grab a 70mm TB/plenum combo instead... LTs will have to wait a while...

    Help - Not Much Info on Shorty Headers

    Ok, so we're looking at LTs plus a shorty mid-pipe, of which I'd definitely go for an X. Looks like the bang for the buck just got cut in half. Thanks for the input, bhuff.

    Help - Not Much Info on Shorty Headers

    I've searched the forums and can't seem to find much info on shorty headers. The two posts that I DID find were negative. So the question is: With a stock H-midpipe, would a $300+ investment in shorty headers be worth it?

    Hi, Guys - I'm Back

    I joined this forum back in 2003 but went AWOL for a little while as I got debt-free. (Modding tends to prohibit that goal...) Still, I checked in occasionally without reactivating. Just started modding again, and I'm looking to keep it up while staying N/A. This is truly a great forum...

    Sorry but what can an SCT tuner really do?

    Is it even WORTH it to get a custom tune/tuner ala X3 if you're N/A and nearly stock? Or even with the meager mods that I have?
