    Flowmaster American Thunder axle back question.

    Are you serious? ALL aftermarket Mustang exhausts drone. I've just ended 15 years with Borlas & Magnaflows. The people who say theirs don't are 18 year old heavy metal fans who are already half-deaf. Even the stock mufflers have a little drone, but it's liveable.

    Flowmaster A/T Moderate or Aggressive?

    What's the appeal of a chambered muffler that just makes noise over a straight through, more efficient muffler that makes noise AND horsepower? Makes no sense to me.

    Aftermarket Painted Parts

    Anyone have any experiences to relate about buying aftermarket spoilers or other body parts matched to your paint code? Am thinking about a Shelby spoiler. Source? Quality? BTW--whatever happened to Kaenan?

    Trunk Black-out Panel

    I bought the magnetic one, & it's certainly inexpensive & looks good from 10 feet, but the fit isn't too good, so I wondered if anyone's using other better looking/fitting panels that they would recommend?

    A couple noob questions... w/pics!

    Curious about the need for alignment, post lowering. I had 2" lowering Eibachs on my 95 & needed it. And needed caster/camber plates also. Also curious about the possible degrading of ride quality. These cars do have that ungainly, up-on-tiptoes look.

    Switching to Synthetic-----When???

    I'm a staunch advocate of synthetic oil & think it largely responsible for trouble-free high mileage on my modified pushrod '95. But this is the first car I bought w/zero miles---I now have 800 miles on it. So the question is: How many miles should you go on conventional fossil oils to seat...

    More HP

    So would a K&N replacement filter not be an improvement?

    The 2010 comes w/a cold air intake.

    More HP

    Don't do anything that will destroy your warranty---or require a computer tweaking.

    2011 Brakes question.

    When I was in school, they used to call that the law of inertia. 80% of braking power is the responsibility of the front brakes.

    Spare tire

    A friend w/an import said his spare actually had a pressure sensor in it---is this so for Mustang??? Another needless expense??????

    Tire Pressure Sensors for 2010

    The dealer explained to me that ride height is designed so that there is ample room to afix chains to the tire. Crazy, huh? Maybe an important feature for Sarah Palin? It's almost as crazy as tire pressure sensors---For many years I always "eyeballed" tires to see if they were round---not good...

    I got the narrower is better advice from several sources, so 8.5" is what I went with.

    Any benefits in staggered rim sizing?

    So it's not really an issue for winter tires.

    Any benefits in staggered rim sizing?

    As previous posts have stated, I'm in the process of buying 18" rims to mount my winter Blizzaks. The rims I've decided on ordering come in 8.5" and 9.5 widths. The car came w/19" rims & Pirelli pZeros. Is there any benefit in buying two of each width & putting the wider rims in the back &...

    Tire Pressure Sensors for 2010

    The tire rack guy tolld me that if the dealer programs the winter rims, the computer will remember both the winter rim sensors and when you put the regular tires back on, the computer will read those w/out new programming from the dealer. Hope that's true---just ordered sensors from tire rack...

    Does the 2010-2011 Mustang have a trunk release button??

    It's conveniently placed on the console---up front where you'd never hit it by accident. Great when your wife comes out of the store w/all kinds of shopping, you're revving the engine & getting impatient to go & she needs to toss all those expensive goodies in the trunk IMHO, in the glove...

    Tire Pressure Sensors for 2010

    Wayne, I agree. I've put winter Blizzaks & rims on all my Mustangs, and found them a perfect solution to making the rear drive, high horsepower Mustang tractable in winter conditions. I'm going to an 18" set, but my 2010 has the 19s, which I will return to in April. The 19" rims & tires are...

    Tire Pressure Sensors for 2010

    My 2010 has to be an all-season car, so I'm in the process of buying rims & tires for the winter---and we're having a snowy winter this year in RI. So I've learned that this car uses Scrader tire pressure sensors that fit on the valve stem---unlike previous Mustangs which had a more costly...
