    After thinking about it for a long time..

    Did you get the o/r X-pipe??? I've been debating about getting an off-road X-pipe to go with my Magnaflow Cat-back. I'm just worried that it will be too loud and/or raspy. Post up a vid as soon as you get it on. Thanks!

    Anyone with a sunroof?

    I had one in my '98 and I loved it! It was a small pop-up sunroof that was removable. That was probably the best thing I did to my mustang.

    buying my bro a car.. V6 stang or Z71??

    I was talking about the engine quality. Those 3.8's are pretty stout engines, they have been around forever and can handle a lot of abuse. We all know V8's are better for power and just about everything else, I thought that was a given. Also, if you set up a V6 Mustang and a V8 Mustang the EXACT...

    buying my bro a car.. V6 stang or Z71??

    Trust me, just cuz the Mustang is a v6, doesn't mean it is worthless. I owned a '98 v6 for 7 years. I got it brand new when I turned 16. I put a lot of money into suspension, gears, intake, exhaust. Granted it didn't accelerate very fast, but it still would go over 120mph. It's not about how...

    Shifter observations

    I love my MGW....It is not nearly as notchy as the Tri-Ax. The MGW is smoother, quieter, and the reach is perfect. Get the MGW, I guarantee that you will love it. I don't think I have heard one person that didn't like it. MGW FTW!!!

    center caps fit loose?

    I actually did this last weekend. I had the same issue with my stock center caps in my new black Bullitts. So, to fix it, I took the center cap and wrapped 2 layers of electrical tape around the prongs. The center caps now fit snugly and doesn't rattle.

    Flowmaster guts

    My Flowmasters were on my car for 6 years and 80k miles before they rusted completely through. I had a quarter sized hole in the rear of both mufflers and the insides looked exactly like the pics above. Now I have Magnaflows.

    26" vs 28" ET Street Drag Tires

    I have the opportunity to buy a slightly used set of 28x10.5 M/T ET Street Drag Tires (not the drag radials) that are mounted on 16" v6 rims. I understand typically everyone here uses 26" tall tires. This deal is almost too good to pass up and I am wondering what is the difference in performance...

    Self mounting tires?

    I used to work at Discount Tire, trust me, you do not want to try mounting your 315's (nor any other tire) yourself. We had enough troubles getting these low profile tires installed w/ the machine, let alone doing it by hand.

    My Introduction

    Nice lookin car you got there! Reminds me of my old Forrest Green '98. Anyways, it sounds like you have it all pretty much figured out. I just wanted to let you know you do not need a tuner to adjust your speedo when you get new gears. All you need is a $14 speedo gear and that will fix your...

    2004 gt

    Could the viscosity affect valve chatter. I have some valve chatter while the engine is cold, I'm using Penzoil Synthetic 5W30. Do you think this would go away if I used the recommended 5W20?

    Squeaky windows driving me insane

    Subscribing I have the same problem. First time I roll down my window it makes a horrid screeching noise. After that, it doesn't. I noticed the outside of my window is scrached a little. I'm going to take the door apart one of these days and figure out what it is. If anyone has any...

    New Rubber

    You should have no problems fitting 315's on the rear. I have 315's and have no rubbing on any brake or suspension components and I still have plenty of clearance from the fender.

    Dynamat

    Forget about the Dynamat, that stuff is rediculously expensive. I used B-quiet (www.bquiet.com) on my old '98. I used their Ultimate on every square inch of my floorboards and firewall, and then used the Extreme in every part of my trunk and doors. It really cut down on road noise and...

    Shift Light

    You gotta go with a Raptor Shift light (www.raptorperformance.com). They are super easy to install. You don't need any extra RPM Pills, tach adapter, nothing. All you need to do is connect (3) wires, set the RPM activation, and you are good to go. Not to mention they are pretty small too. I...

    Will the magnaflow catted x be too loud?

    Amazingly, it will actually be a bit quieter and a lot smoother. This is my opinion, maybe someone has a different experience. I found out first hand. I have an '02 GT w/ the stock catted H-pipe and the regular Magnaflow Cat-Back, and my buddy has a '02 GT w/ the Magnaflow Catted X-pipe with...

    I just got quoted $150 and $200 for install. This includes grinding off the powdercoat and painting all exposed bare metal after install. This is for the Maximum Motorsports full-length SFC's though.
