    Shifter opinions

    How much noise/vibration does the brace itself introduce into the cabin? These tranny's are somewhat noisey stock.

    NastyStang is Pushing the Limits !!

    +1. If so, I hope you don't have an oil pan failure. Great numbers and more importantly, it's great to hear that the driveability hasn't suffered.

    no brake lights!

    Yea, but the question is...... what caused it to blow in the first place?

    Fuel

    If your car is stock, you are just wasting money for the most part. In a lot of engines designed and tuned to run 87 octane, the performance will actually be worse with 93. This is primarily due to the slower burn rate of higher octane fuel. That being said, if you change parameters by such...

    GTA SS mufflers can rust through???

    400 series "stainless steel" can and will develop surface rust at least, if not rust through under the right circumstances. Even 300 series SS can be eaten through under certain conditions. The 300 series has much more nickel content and thus is less likely to corrode but is much more...

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    Your description of the exhaust note is the best I've ever read and pretty much exactly my experience with the GTA's. I'll put it this way, They add a lot "quality sound" and a little "volume". If one's priority is primarily volume to say "look at me!", you'd be better with a different set...

    Outlawing dark colored cars in Ca?

    I wish the lawmakers and policy makers in this state were fools only on April 1st. Nope, we're not that lucky. Out here in Cowleefournya, they're fools all year round. I'm a native and so I'm always hearing people saying, "You're kidding, right? There isn't a law like that really." I just...

    Tried to change my spark plugs!?!

    Note: This is NOT a flame in any way. I am just trying to share a little experience from 38 years of wrenching on heavy industrial mechanical maintenance. You're looking for trouble by removing your plugs every 10k miles. If you use a proper coating of Nickel Neversieze, you do NOT need or...

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    The FRPP GTA's are the same axle-backs that come on the Shelby GT and are certified to meet sound regulations. They are NOT the same as the stock GT mufflers. Before you even start it up you'll know there is a difference because the GTA axlebacks are 10 lbs (yes I know I'm anal but I did weigh...

    OFF Road X-pipe guys? (No Cats)

    I couldn't stand living long term with the volume of that exhaust, but I LOVE LISTENING TO that set up on someone else's car!! Sorry to sound stupid, but do the longtubes work with cats or are they o/r only??

    Fix for collapsed vacuum line due to FI?

    The copper should work just fine, especially if it's a snug fit.

    Good luck with the shipping. I think you'll be happy with your choice once installed based on the parameters listed in your original post.

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    I noticed that as well. I can only guess that they're popular and therefore the price increase. I paid $299.00 for mine and noticed that they're now priced at $499.00 through the same vendor.

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    I have GTA's on my 07 GT/CS and could not be happier. They provide a deep throaty tone with a slightly louder overall volume. They have ZERO drone and yet they do talk to ya when you're really on the loud pedal. Yes they are worth the money to me. They are the same axle-backs that come on the...

    Plugs on a 2009 GT

    Ford changed out the plug and head design during the 2008 model year. The plug is now 1-piece and the problem has been eliminated as far as I've heard.
