    I wonder if they have a dyno test to back up the increase in HP claim. I am sure there would be some, given the higher air flow, but I wonder what it would be. Nice little HP gain for 58 bucks? Kind like when that hunk of metal falls out of your intake hose. :D

    I never thought about it, but I guess you could buy it off the web, carry it down to the shop and have someone install it. Wonder if they would have a problem, since they are out the bucks for the exhaust. Hmmmm.... Only question is where in the heck I would put it in my new Mustang. Ah -...

    You guys that have had this done - is this price high/low/just right? 579.00 for Cat-back Magnaflow exhaust 75.00 for installation. That's a local shop for me here. I thought in some previous posts I had seen better prices on this exhaust system. :scratch:

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    So I guess I now know what everyone else already knew - MotorTrend doesn't like Ford's much. Bastages. Now I don't like MotorTrend anymore. Fair is fair. :notnice:

    Chalenged by an F-150

    I'd be guessing that many of the LS1's you'd come across have been modded as well. It's a tradition in the world of Stangs and Camaros. I have a real simple mod that will gain ya 4-7 HP (dyno tested now)....... There's a hunk of metal in the air intake. :D

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    A little slow to read this month's MotorTrend. Sorry if this has been hashed out. Question: Did anyone else think it was a bit strange for them to pick on the GT for having a V-6 sibling they apparently didn't like too much? The article made it seem like the GT "Coulda beena contenda" but...

    Chalenged by an F-150

    I couldn't agree more. I am really looking forward to the spring when most tracks will open and we get to see some comparisons get made between the GT and other cars. Personally, I think the new GT stock vs stock 2002 Z28 would be an excellent matchup. Would come down to the driver, I think. I...

    Chalenged by an F-150

    This happens a lot. I dusted a few, just for kicks but now I am mean and let them take off without me. I just laugh and smile as I drive by going the speed limit. They know they would get smoked and I am not paying for a ticket because some "tool", as you so eloquently put it, wants to see my...

    I need buying advice from some experts

    Brad Barnett's site has some good information. Not a lot out about 2006 yet but rumours abound. New color choices for sure. Looks like 18" wheel option. Not sure about anything else. http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/index.htm It really boils down to what you want, which only you can...

    Got my first compliment!

    Well congrats on the first of many compliments you will get! My latest was actually pretty nice. An old guy (to me, anyway. Probably 55.) comes up and I swear it was like he was back in high school talking about the mustang he had as a kid. My car brought back some good memories for him...

    2005 Mustangs in rain

    Any car will try to spin the tire when you accelerate hard. The more HP you have, the easier that can be. TCS goes a LONG way in correcting that problem. Smooth acceleration when the conditions are not ideal will keep the tires firmly in contact with the pavement. Dumping the clutch will not...

    Excursion goes to that happy car lot in the sky

    This is true. I have known two guys who drove rigs and I'd let either of them use my stang as a pylon on an obstacle course. It's the squish factor for me. :) But unfortunately, some rig drivers are just fu**in crazy. Here in Alabama, we've had the same accident happen in two years. A tanker...

    Excursion goes to that happy car lot in the sky

    Trust me when I second you. I owned an F-150 for 3 years and I loved my explorer. Sitting up high in truck has it's advantages, like being able to see that hunk of metal in the road up ahead. I was worried when I got this car because now I am back down in the low rider realm. I hate riding...

    Excursion goes to that happy car lot in the sky

    It never occured to me (been having too much fun driving the new Mustang, I guess) but do you know which plant(s) makes the Mustang? Michigan? Atlanta? Wondering.

    Heated Seats in Canada?

    I'd be curious to know from you all as to how the Mustang handles in the snow/ice nastiness. 300 horses on slick roads. Fun fun. (I know you all probably salt the roads (rust pellets)) but surely you may come across some places that haven't been cleared yet. Curiosity only, since it snows in...

    Excursion goes to that happy car lot in the sky

    It doesn't, unless you count that they are both made by Ford. Problem?

    Merry Xmas to me!

    Run, don't :spot: to the dealer and get that puppy!!! Congrats! Remember, the traction control off button is right next to the hazards. :D Rev to 4000 RPM, drop clutch, smile. Repeat. :nice:
