    how much to install gears?

    I think a friend of mine got em done for 250 by his friend's dad. I'm about to ask a buddy of mine who works as a chevy tech how much he'll charge (he has 2 fox body mustangs though). One question though. I looked on mustang tuning and they have 2 install kits, one with just seals and...

    H pipe

    DON"T DO IT. Just stick with you o/r H pipe. I have MAC longtubes, MAC o/r H, and flowmaster 40's welded in. Before the o/r pipe, I had a MAC catted H (which was freakin $400 btw) and the difference in sound is hardly worth it. I did not notice a significant difference in volume going from...

    CDC lightbar installation instr.

    Didn't your light bar come with instructions? I used the CDC ones, it was tough to understand what they meant sometimes but it worked out ok. Might want to get them to mail you new ones because you need the templates to cut the panels. And yes, I think I had my car for less than a week...

    HELP!!! MAC o/r H-pipe sounds like crap...

    Weird, I recently put on a MAC o/r H with my MAC longtubes and Flow 40 weld ins and I thought it sounded great (except for my longtubes rattling. Maybe you have some kind of exhaust leak. For some reason, I have always had a leak ever since I touched the exhaust. Check all your connections...

    suspension install

    Just finished my install today in a little less than 4 hours with 2 guys, a jack, 2 jackstands, and 2 craftsman mechanics sets of tools. Tokico HP shocks/struts, and springs. Cake install but not low enough I'm afraid :(

    03 GT vert shock install ??'s

    That blows. I'm assuming I have to take out the top part directly below the vert top first? I've tried taking out the trunk panels before and it seems impossible. This may be the worst part of the install. Might have to head out to my car some day this week and start tearin ***** up.

    03 GT vert shock install ??'s

    This weekend, I will be installing the tokico HP spring/shock kit on my 03 GT vert. I was looking around the past few days to get aquainted with the bottom of my car and was wondering where the tops of the rear strut mounts are? I looked in the trunk for a place to pull out the liner but it...

    Magnaflow x-pipe install

    I should be getting my MAC o/r H tonight to put on, but mine is for LT's so it might be a little easier install :) I remember going at the stock midpipe, I think we got the 2 drivers side bolts off immediately, then one of the passenger side bolts. The last passenger side bolt took about an...

    How to improve handling significantly?

    If you want it to go flat around a corner, get stiffer sway bars. It already has upgraded springs and shocks so that will help significantly. Maybe get a panhard bar to keep the rear axle from bouncing around.

    CDC Shaker and Kennebell S/C clearance question

    Maybe you're thinking of the KB mach 1 kit. If you put that kenne bell under there, it would take up all the room for the shaker and the shaker kit probably wouldn't function anymore.

    catted H pipe

    I didn't need mine at first. Now I have a MIL all the time, even after clearing it numerous times. My exhaust is also making a really bad noise and I'm almost positive it's something loose in one of the cats. This is after only like 5 months of use. The sound is ok, but I think I'd try a...

    Plenum and Throttle Body

    https://www.rpmoutlet.com/newv8cm.htm If the wifey is buying and doesn't really care about price, I hear the accufab combo is the best. It certainly looks the best if you like the bling polished look.

    3.73 Gears?

    How much do 3.73's change your RPM's. I normally just drive around town and stuff, but I go back and forth to school quite a bit on the beltway so I'm cruzin at like 75-80 for a half hour or so. I have a decently loud exhaust, so if I'm going like 60 or 80 with 3.73's, what RPMs am I gonna be...

    Supercharger, of Head and Cams????

    I'd say get a Livernois balanced billet stroker kit for the time being. If you have money left, get the heads and cams. (I've heard that patriot fixed whatever problems they had with their heads and now work great. Get some responses or claims from patriot owners before you totally rule them...

    http://egauges.com/vdo_acce.asp?Subgroup=Generic_DIN&Cart= There ya go. Just search for din gauge panel. www.42draftdesigns.com also makes DIN gauge panels for GTI's and Evos, which might fit your car but I'm not sure. I think those gauges might be hard to read down there, I'd get the...

    and it starts....long tube header install...

    Have fun with that. I did it the first time without dropping the K. Amazingly got the whole thing done that way... and then had a gasket leak because I reused the stock ones. Make sure you get some good felpro gaskets and/or USE SILICONE GASKET MAKER to seal everything up and ensure there are...

    Do it, best mod I've done. The feel is amazing and shifts are so short.

    exhaust, tuner and seat questions

    Longtubes aren't THAT expensive. I got my MAC longtubes for $300, paid $3/hr to use a lift/tools for the install, and bought a friend lunch at subway for help with the install. It was a pain in the ass and took some time, but the sound and torque is definitely worth it. From what I've heard...
