    need some guidance for some subs

    Thanks man, thats great info :nice: I was planning on mounting the amp where you mentioned (near the convertible assembly), I believe the stock mach 460 amps are located there too. So it sounds like this will be relatively easy to set up.. mount amp.. run an RCA line from deck to amp in trunk...

    need some guidance for some subs

    Thats great that you have a vert too, i figured that might complicate things to get it sounding right. What are the pros and cons of 10" vs 12", single vs dual? People seem to suggest a single 10" in a sealed box for my application, i want a little bass to accompany my stock mach 460 speakers...

    need some guidance for some subs

    hey guys, the headunit that came in my car took a crap, so i picked up an alpine CDE-9874 headunit with my buddys best buy employees discount and installed it today. I have it connected to the stock mach 460 amp and speakers, it sounds pretty good all around, but I was wondering how much effort...

    installing a used H pipe

    So I picked up a used off road H, and Im wondering what supplies I need to get in order to install it. I know the process of putting it in, but do I need anything like gaskets? Also, do I need a special wrench to remove 02 sensors?

    Any issues with buying a used H pipe?

    my thoughts exactly.. I dont like paying for an install that I can do myself. Im paying for gears, and thats enough :rolleyes: Anyways, the cheap H pipe is supposed to "tie me over" until I can afford long tubes with a catted shorty H. The flows came with the car, and a 60$ used H is a nice...

    Any issues with buying a used H pipe?

    Any issues with buying a used H pipe?

    hey guys, i ended up getting the pipe for 60$ and its in good shape. I just have a quick question, it has what looks like a pipe for the AIR system on it.. now the purpose of the AIR is for the cats.. I dont think its needed for a catless pipe. Heres a pic of the little pipe, whats it for?

    can my mustang be used for pick up truck duties?

    you got it, the back seats dont go down in a vert... but the top does ;) so youve actually done this a few times? did you just wrap the pipe in a blanket and put one end down into the rear passenger foot area and one end out over the trunk? I have some nylon webbing, so Im thinking i can tie...

    can my mustang be used for pick up truck duties?

    Sadly, this isnt a joke. :rlaugh: Im going to a mustang meet this sunday, its in a town about an hour away. I need to pick up an off road H pipe from a guy who happens to live in this town, so it would save me a trip if I could go pick up the pipe after the meet. Maybe its just my inner redneck...

    Will these subframe connectors do the job? How does this gear install sound?

    Well I was on vancouvermustangs.com looking for someone who could lend me an OBD code scanner, and a guy who owns a shop called Billy's Mustang Inc. told me I could bring it down and he'd run my codes for me (Ive been getting a CEL coming on after driving for a bit, but the car seems to run...

    please help me with my oil issue

    How exactly does the PCV cause oil comsumption? Ive had a few people suggest I check it out. Does it stick open or something allowing positive crankcase pressure to shoot oil mist into the intake manifold and burn it? Would this small amount of mist not cause the car to blow blue? Since the...

    please help me with my oil issue

    I know a mechanic who says that the 5.0 HO cylinders are not percisely fitted to the bores, this allows more oil to be consumed than other engines. Is there any truth to this? I probably burn a litre every 1,000 km on average, maybe a bit more kms. The reason I'm asking is because Ive been...

    please help me with my oil issue

    My 94 5.0 has about 110,000 km on it, thats about 68,000 miles. Recently ive been having to add a liter of oil every month or so, and Im not sure why. There doesnt seem to be any leaks, nothing smells of burning oil and theres no trace in the driveway. It also doesnt blow blue or smell like oil...

    eldelbrock RPM?

    how much HP do hot cammed / bolt on ls1s push? If I recall.. its more than an AFR/FTI/edel combo. Hate to say it, but to put them in your mirror with confidence your gonna need a little displacement-in-a-bottle or stroke 'er out to 331/347.

    Whats the minimum needed to put the hurting on a new edge

    believe me.. Ive highly considered a stealthy 100 shot.. but its still has its pros and cons. I know an h/c/i will net 290-320 to the wheels, but I never said I wanted to hang with ls1s quite yet ;) Im just aiming for the new edges and some extra reassurance against pesky rice. Wouldnt mind...

    Any issues with buying a used H pipe?

    I figure since its an off road pipe theres not much to go wrong... I would be a bit more skeptical about a catted pipe because its hard to determine the condition of the cats.. but for catless pipes Id assume just to check for rust or dents. I cant wait to pick it up :nice: do you think i...

    Whats the minimum needed to put the hurting on a new edge

    I know us stang guys need to be sticking together.. but sometimes it gets old when the 1999-2004 guys make a mockery of my "slow turd" sn95 :notnice: Im familiar with various n/a 300 hp combinations, boosted setups and the like.. but ive never actually looked into the minimum needed to top a new...

    Any issues with buying a used H pipe?

    like the title says, I found a guy close to home selling a 94-95 off road H pipe. The ad said 100 bucks so I sent him an email and offered 70 (which he said he will take). He says the pipe came with the car when he got it and is in good condition. He is unsure what brand it is, but Im going to...
