    making my car quieter what to buy?

    Cheapest route is probably to have the flows cut out and weld something quieter in. I have Borla Pro-XS with MRT catted H. Got the mufflers for ~150 shipped and had them welded in for about $80.

    guys with weld-in mufflers

    I think I bought 2 1/4" Borlas and had them welded in. They were cheaper than the 2.5s too. A good welder will have no problem.

    guys with 04 gt 5spds any problems since u had the car?

    This might be a bit late, but they replaced the steering rack mounts on mine and it fixed it. Take it to another dealer. Mine was very noticeable at parking lot speeds, turning left. 'Creaking' is definitely the correct term, not a squeak.

    Borla Exhaust

    I got the Borla Pro XS mufflers welded in to my stock pipes. Sounds good with my catted MRT H. Stingers might be obnoxious, but the Borla Pro XS is not. My wife and 3-year old ride with me to work a couple times a week and they do not complain. Cruising at 65 with stock gears, it is almost...

    I should have said, not the 'full' article, just an excerpt from it.

    Not the exact article, but here is the important piece of it. http://members.tccoa.com/greenbird/mufflerpower.pdf

    Just mufflers, or full catback????

    Do a search for the catback performance article on here or maybe MD. Borla Pro XS mufflers were rated as producing the most horsepower while also being the quietest among the ones tested. I found them online, 2 for $154 shipped plus $110 installation, $254 total. Knowing that Steeda uses the...

    Taming my exhaust note

    Check magnaflow cats. I think they sell them individually as well(might be cheaper) and I think they have a better track record as far as passing emissions than the Bassani (in case you need them for that too).

    Mufflers??? gains

    Don't know if you have read the catback performance article about Borlas, but you can get the Pro XS for $69 at Wickednicky.com. Supposed to be the best gains for average hp and sound nice as well. At least the 2.25" ones are 69, not sure about 2.5" inlet/outlet.

    I wonder how much that EPA report cost the government, just to test a magnet on a fuel system. Unbelievable.

    wet sanding question

    clear coat looked fine. I washed it, clay barred it, washed it again, polished it with Meguiar's Step 2 polish, and applied two coats of Meguiar's NXT wax. Pix are in 'Talk' section....

    Rust colored specs on white 04 GT

    Yeah, I confirmed it yesterday, no clear coat to be added. It should shine like a son of a when they are done with it. Luckily, it is garage kept and I plan on keeping a good coat of wax on it. It is not a daily driver, maybe 2 or 3 times per week to work.

    wet sanding question

    I posted in the other area that my car is being wet sanded. It is an 04 white GT and it had rust colored specs on the paint when it was transported via rail. Ford is taking care of it. They say they are wetsanding and buffing it, taking about 4 days to do. When they say buffing, does that...

    Rust colored specs on white 04 GT

    *Update* Car went into the body shop Monday, being wet sanded this week. They will then buff it after the wet sanding, should get it back on Friday. Should come out pretty nice, the service manager says he has gotten his show cars wet sanded before, so I feel good about how it's going to turn...

    Rust colored specs on white 04 GT

    For those with this problem, my experience is that the clay bar did a pretty good job of making specs smaller. Didn't totally get rid of them, but it is a definite improvement. Meguiar's paint cleaner didn't seem to do a thing to it, although I didn't use a buffer...

    Rust colored specs on white 04 GT

    A month or two ago, I wrote in about rust colored specs on my white 04 GT. They are not very visible, but if you get within 12-18 inches of the car and look at it closely, you can see them, and they cover the entire car. Noticed it within a week of buying it new at the end of January. Finally...

    4.6L engine issue

    R-134A recharge is pretty easy. Bought one from Advanced auto for like $30, had a really good DVD instructional video in it, nice pressure guage and 2 or 3 bottles of R-134A. Re-charged one car and was able to check the pressure in my other vehicle with it. It was worth the $30.

    4.6L engine issue

    Sounds similar to a problem I've had with a different car. Am I guessing right that you have an automatic? If not, then I'm probably wrong. I had an old Grand Am that would lose rpms under breaking. Ended up the solenoid needed replacing. Hope that helps.
