    Catback Opinions

    I've got the Borla Catback and I think it sounds the same as the magnapack. If that's the system you're after, I would buy it from HottExhaust.com because they offer free shipping on Magnaflow stuff. I like the Borla catback as it made a huge difference in the sound. We get compliments every...

    Best way to go on brakes?

    Okay, so the Cobra kits from Steeda are right around $500 but that's just the front. What do you guys do about the rear?

    Best way to go on brakes?

    Well, it's about time to put a set of brakes on my 01 GT. I've looked at the SS brake kits, and Raybestos kits. Does anybody know...short of spending $1500 on a Cobra upgrade...what is the best route to go? Is it better to have slotted rotors front and rear? Do the dustless ceramic pads...

    Magnapack Catback Problems

    I would say whatever you do, don't sand the pipes. I have a feeling that would void the lifetime warranty on it. I put on a Dynomax system for somone that had the same problem. A little adjustment and it was golden. I'd say to take care of the rust use a flitz wheel (they rock) and some...

    What tires should i get?

    I think I'm going with the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Car and Driver rated it it's top performance tire. I've got the G-force KDW's (traditional tread, not like those mentioned above) and they're an awesome tire when they're new but they're a little noisy. I'll either go with those or the...

    Tax Refund. What to spend it on? Suspension, subframes, etc.

    I like the subframe connectors personally. I went with the Steeda tubular ones with the cross braces and they pretty much rock. Made a huge difference in the way the car handles I think.

    What size/brand wheels and tires should I get?

    Maybe you just need better tires? The Traction T/A is a good tire for a Focus or a Saturn, or maybe some of the smaller torque deficient imports. I would recommend the G-force T/A KDW as they hook really well in the dry. Wet weather is okay and not near as scary as the stock skaterbacks, but...

    Mach 1 Rotors on a GT

    Could also be air in the lines. I've seen ABS kick in under light braking if there was air in the lines. I'd try bleeding them. The best way to tell if it's a warped rotor is to drive really fast and then apply the brakes lightly. If the steering wheels shakes it's a rotor.

    2000 mustang dissapointing

    I'm with scupking, my 01 GT auto will break loose if you hammer it on the interstate. It has to get really wild for the traction control to kick in. It was dry and hadn't rained in days here recently and we were merging on the interstate. From 40 I hammered it and it downshifted and burned...

    RAT, that was a big help. Thank you very much.

    Anyone here running Toyo Proxes T1-R?

    Will, do you have 285's on your stock wheels? I know this is a dumb question, but my wife drives the car more than I do...but how is the road noise on them? The G-force tires hold pretty good, but they're pretty noisy. I'm trying to find a tire that holds just as good or better but you can...

    Anyone here running Toyo Proxes T1-R?

    Hey guys, I've been deciding on the next set of tires for my 01GT. Currently I've got BFG KDW's on it and they're about worn out. I was curious to see if anyone here was running the Toyo T1-R. I really wanted the T1-S, but Toyo says that is discontinued. So, if anyone is running the T1-R, is...

    Muffler Size??

    I just put on the Borla catback and the stock mufflers were offset in center out I believe. Send me an e-mail or a PM. I've got a Dynomax catback system that's brand new I'll give you a good deal on. It's still in the box and has never been installed.

    what o/r x pipe to get...?

    Is there a reason no one uses the Steeda X-pipe?

    Muffler Size??

    The Borla catback mufflers aren't exactly quiet. If you just want loud, put a piece of pipe on it and don't use a muffler.

    Pulleys? Anyone with good or bad experiences?

    Is it true that these do damage to the A/C? I was considering putting some on, but didn't want to have to replace the A/C as it wouldn't be worth the trouble. Anybody else ever heard that? I believe March Performance told me that a few years ago.
