    Flowmaster American Thunder

    no welding necessary, you could install it yourself with some jackstands and a hacksaw... it's a little tough in areas but nothing you can't handle... use some wd40 on the rubber hangers FYI oh, and show your dad my mustang exhaust page and show him my clip... that'll change his mind

    Dual exhaust tips?

    I saw one on a 99+ stang... except it was a V6 :lol: he had one angled down on the stock pipe and the other one was like taped or something on the opposite side... it was hilarious

    Clucking sound from front left wheel.

    deadlast's rattle in the rear is probably due to those anti-rattle clips use blue-een or anti-squeak spray on the rears of the pads... and yea, tightening the lugs are a good idea

    Sluggish at low RPM

    you've got a high revving engine there :) ok, seriously... i notice the same exact stuff (my car only stalls once in a while when I let off quick though). have you adjusted your timing, i'm just wondering? i haven't adjusted mine and it seems like a lot of other people do and they don't...

    loose axles

    I have that problem too... i thought 'riored' or 'rio something' was talking about wheel bearings a long time ago. but if it's the axles that are moving, wouldn't that be the c-clips? which hold them in (at least that's what I think holds them in)

    sorry to ask again (13" front disks).....

    http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=447757&highlight=paint+rotors+rust This might be the thread you were looking for I thought most of the anti-rust rotors were a different plating... like zinc, galvanized, or something

    sorry to ask again (13" front disks).....

    why does it have to be clear... i've personally never seen a clear hi-temp spraypaint either. couldn't you color match with a metallic silver or something similar? anyways... free bump for u

    Exhaust clearance

    probably depends on what springs/suspention you're running and if you still have the pinion snubbers on there... and then there's speed bumps don't vettes run like 4" off the ground? anyways, free bump

    98 GT engine start up knock

    nothing wrong with it... you could run a higher octane fuel and it might go away. Or, you can adjust timing to get rid of it, but your mpg and/or performance would probably suffer. What you're hearing is known as 'pinging'... search that and you'll find tons of info this is the V6 forum too...

    Anybody know anything about '98 V6s?

    yea, well, i tried the V6 section, i could try the 4.6 section... the '98 guys from there might know.

    Anybody know anything about '98 V6s?

    I just don't get why a '97 and '98 would vary by $100 at AZ. I thought they were the same car?? I guess that was my question to begin with EDIT: i just checked out an ebay picture of the '98 and it looks totally different. They sell '86-'97 ($100), '98($200), and '99-'04($100 same as...

    Anybody know anything about '98 V6s?

    probably wouldn't be the stock lph would it? but it shouldn't matter anyways. yea, all this is what I thought, I just don't understand why multiple shops give me the same statement, and why summit doesn't list the v6 '98 pump. S351R: that'd be cool if you could verify. I think he wants...

    Anybody know anything about '98 V6s?

    I have no idea, but autozone, kragen, poa, and anywhere else has said that they only sell a $225 assembly for a '98 v6. I too checked the Haynes manual and didn't see any difference at all. I'm going to advise just buying one for the gt or a differnet year or something thanks

    Anybody know anything about '98 V6s?

    I asked this over in the V6 forum and they're either very slow or just suck... anyways, my dad decided to buy a '98 V6 and the fuel pump went out :(. Well, I live in CA so every shop keeps saying that I have to buy a whole emissions friendly type pump or something... but is the '98 fuel pump...

    '98 Fuel pump different?

    some shops are saying that there's a special "California" model that has strict emissions standards or something. What kind of fuel pump can I buy?

    '98 Fuel pump different?

    is the '98 fuel pump different than other years for some reason? i just did a search and didn't really come up with anything. I also checked summit and couldn't really find anything for that year in V6... I though our cars had the fuel return so i figured any year mustang fuel pump word...

    Friend needs some advice

    90k miles over a period of <6 years? that seems like kinda a lot. I mean, my car has a little over 100k and it's twice as old... if you guys live in the middle of nowhere though... it could just be a fun trip car, that's why it's got the mileage. sounds a little too good to be true.. but...

    stupid brake noises

    did you both use brake cleaner on the rear of the pads and caliper and then use anti-brake squel (i call it blue-een or something like that) Common squeal can be attributed to dirt behind the pads btw: with a hydro-jack and the right tools, this can be done fairly quickly b/c you don't...
