    Back from the exhaust shop!

    What should be my first step to solving the problem??? Should I check the manifolds for leaks at the gaskets?

    Back from the exhaust shop!

    I picked up the stang yesterday from getting o/r x-pipe with mello-tone mufflers installed. Sounds great, will get some sound clips whenever the weather gets better. Since getting the leak fixed I can hear more of what the car is doing. The exhaust isn't very smooth sounding, kind of like a...

    Finally got some STANG pics!

    Well my buddy at the exhaust shop just called and said the stang is finished. Now if my ride would show up at work so I can head to pick it up. Anxiously excited to hear, I asked what muffler he used and he said a new one called Mello-Tone or something like that. It is a chambered muffler...

    Finally got some STANG pics!

    This Sunday I'm going to jump on some more small projects. Look into the ashtray door and the drive-side door lock which is jammed/stuck. I can't lock the door with the switch, pushing down on the knob, or with the key in the door. Also going to look into some new headlights...I like the one...

    Finally got some STANG pics!

    I can't wait for my work day to be over so I can head to pick up the car. I told the guy (good friend) what kind of sound I was looking for and he said I got a couple mufflers in mind, I will decide and then if you don't like I will change for free! Next up is new tires which sound come in a...

    Maybe not a surging problem...

    Not sure to tell you the truth, just bought it last Saturday. Has a 306 in it, if I sent a pic of the engine would you be able to tell me?

    Finally got some STANG pics!

    It was upgraded to an 8.8. Guy built it for street/strip car and he sold because he bought a croch-rocket! When the guy got the hood the body shop talked him into getting the whole front clip painted to match better.

    Maybe not a surging problem...

    What would be the best way to test to see what is going wrong for the surging?

    Maybe not a surging problem...

    I was driving the car last night after the tune up and got on the highway about 70mph. I noticed that the car wasn't surging because the RPMs weren't jumping they were very constant at 2k in 5th gear. I'm thinking what made me think the car was surging could be the exhaust leak...any other ideas?

    Now that I got my stang, time for questions!

    Looks like I'm going to get a lot done to the stang soon. End of the week going to take it down to the exhaust shop and get a new system put on. There is a leak somewhere and I'm going to replace the H-pipe with a X-pipe. Any suggestions on mufflers? I'm wanting to run dumps at the rear axle.

    Now that I got my stang, time for questions!

    Alright I just got told two different things... I'm also looking into shocks and struts. Having quad shocks worth the extra $$$? Not planning on any track events just spirited driving on the street.

    Now that I got my stang, time for questions!

    I'm also looking to get some new tires. Called today and the shop suggested the BFG G-Force tires. Anyone have any experience with these? Right now the car has 245/45/17 tires on the back and 235/40 or 45/17 the back (can't remember which). Will a 245/45/17 fit on the front? It has the 17"...

    Now that I got my stang, time for questions!

    Where are some good places to get parts from online? I used to have tons of links when I had my '01 but have since deleted them. Only place I know now is summit, jegs, and american muscle.

    Now that I got my stang, time for questions!

    Yesterday I did a full tune up and I'm planning on changing the fluids tonight after work. It runs good but kind of does a surging thing. The car will GO then hesitate they GO and hesitate...you can notice it more around 70mph. Also I'm getting some bad wheel hop in the back, what would be...
