    buying an 04 tomorrow. is this right?

    I bought my '03 premium for right around $22K out the door, but that included the $400 GAP insurance. IMHO, the GAP insurance is well worth it. Mustangs (like most cars) depreciate so much in the first 2-3 years that if you are hit, then most likely your car will book for less than you owe...

    SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!?! does yours do this?

    I had a Z28 that started doing that and it turned out to be the rear end. My differential gasket had blown and all the fluid drained out. I ended up having to replace the rear end.

    mid pipe question.????

    My o/r X caused my gas mileage to increase. In fact, my GT gets more mpg than my wife's 5 spd. V6 stang. :shrug:

    Got sold on Flowmaster 40 Series this weekend

    That's what I have on my car (40 series flows, not the spinners) and I love the sound. Be prepared for posts that will tell you flows sound like ass and you are a red neck for buying them. Trust me though, you will like them once they are on.

    Midpipe Q?

    Weld in after market mufflers will make your car sound better than adding an X to the stock exhaust. I welded in flows before I put in my o/r x.

    dash sound sorta like a cricket

    Mine did the exact same thing, but I figured it out. There is a black plastic covering at the base of the windshield (outside the car where the windshield wipers are located) that had come loose. It is held in place with clips, and if one comes loose it makes a chirping sound that seems to...

    intake spacer

    I have a phenolic intake spacer and I did not notice any great gains, but I did notice better throttle response, which made it worth the $25 bucks to me.

    Just bought TriAx

    Easy install. Some people will tell you to back the stop bolts all the way as they are not needed on the new Tremec.

    Enough power to kill yourself!!!

    When I first got my Stang I felt the same way because my previous car wasn't all that fast, but now that I've had the Stang for awhile I've gotten used to it. Enjoy it while you can, because the feeling will wear off and you will want to go even faster. It's sort of like motorcycles. My...

    ATTN: Those with the UPR X-PIPE, I have a Question!

    Yes, mine came with that piece. The gasket for the passenger side I had to buy from Ford..cost around $7 I think.

    What octane to run on 4.6 GT Anyway?

    87, 89 or 91-93 all run about the same in my GT...actually it runs best with 89 or 87. My wife's '00 V6 Stang pings badly with anything under 89. Only mods are duals and Densecharger :shrug:

    Sounds like GT is DYING!!

    If you have a shop vac you might want to try and suck any excess water out from your spark plug area, etc. Also, try letting the car idle for 30 minutes or so.

    ATTN: Those with the UPR X-PIPE, I have a Question!

    I love the sound...get compliments ALL the time. UPR X will definitely wake up those Flows (same set up as mine).

    ATTN: Those with the UPR X-PIPE, I have a Question!

    There is a metal gasket for the passenger's side. I bought one from Ford when I got my upr x and went ahead and replaced it on install. UPR did not snd a gasket, but everyone recommends replacing it while you're under the car. The driver's side uses the metal tube thing that came with the X...

    just ordered a UPR X-Pipe, WOO HOO!!

    You shouldn't have any trouble if you weld in Flows (or similar). When I still had the factory mid pipe I had some flows welded in with no trouble. Once I bolted in the UPR o/r X, it was still not a problem. By the way, with UPR o/r X and Flows, your stang will scream at WOT. :nice:

    What do you guys think of these rims?

    Sorry about that. Typing never was my best subject.

    What do you guys think of these rims?

    Thanks for those of you that gave feedback on the RIMS. As far as the exhaust goes, I didn't want to dump them right after the mufflers because, I think that is a bit overkill for a v6. I didn't want to add a big honkin fart can (like a lot of 6 banger stangs tend to do) and with the '99+...
