    Here a clunk, there a clunk...

    If we have two-piece driveshafts, does that mean we have four u-joints instead of two? Maybe that's the problem, twice as many u-joints means twice as much play.

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    Interesting. Had them put on yesterday. Doesn't really sound any louder or any different to me. Looks different of course....

    License plate holes in front, how to fix?

    Found the perfect thing at Autozone. For $2.79 bought an assortment of little plastic-like plugs. Picked out two that just push in, sanded and painted the heads with my little bottle of touch up paint. Will push them in this evening, when the paint is fully dry on them. They have little fins...

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    They were delivered yesterday, look really nice. Small bended ear at end of inlet side pipe from shipping damage but very minor and easily bent back. Will install this weekend. Fun!

    License plate holes in front, how to fix?

    Bumperplugs.com Perfect, just what I was looking for - thanks. (I did paint some screws and put in but they don't look very good.)

    Here a clunk, there a clunk...

    I have the same clunks on my new 08 with less than 2000 miles on it. It's play in the drivetrain somewhere (driveshaft I'd guess) which is surprising in a new car.

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    Lighter than stock is good. No drone is good. A little louder is good. I don't want to piss off the neighbors, just have a little fun. I'm winding down a bit at 62 after having 3 Vettes, 2 Porsches, 56 T-Bird (289 2-4s, headers, etc) , Cobra (clone FFR), 66 GTO, BMW, MB, Miata, etc. in my...

    License plate holes in front, how to fix?

    That stuff on the back by the dealer seems to be an East coast and or maybe mid West issue. I don't see to many dealerships putting stuff on the paint (decals or whatever) here in Calif.

    License plate holes in front, how to fix?

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if you can get to the back of the front bumper to put a nut on if I put a small carriage bolt,or something similiar, through the hole? (Without some major removal operation?) If so, that would allow me to put on a smaller dia cover.

    License plate holes in front, how to fix?

    Is there some part that would plug those license plate holes in the front bumper without using a screw or something? Looking for something plastic that I could paint the same color and that would be removable if I get a "fix it" ticket (live in CA) by the police. I've seen little push in...

    Good idea. Do you know the Ford part number by any chance?

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    Lennyvb, thanks. I found them at the site you had listed and ordered them only to called within a couple of minutes and told they had a price increase from $356 to $475:eek:, so I cancelled. Damn these things are expensive. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll keep looking...

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    Yes, they are the cheapest by far. However, I've read so many bad reports on Blue Oval Industries that I won't even take a chance on them. Just google their name and see what comes up.

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    I noticed that also. Don't know. Of course there are always used or take offs from Shelby GTs, just not many of them avail. I've listened to so many exhaust clips I'm rummy. However, I think these are what I'm going after. Appreciate the input from you all, great forum!! :nice:

    GTA axle back mufflers good choice?

    I "think" I want to install the axle back M-5230-GTA mufflers. I've read a zillion exhaust threads, listened to many exhaust clips, etc. I have no exhaust mods now - bone stock. I'd like to hear some subjective assessments from those who have installed only the GTA mufflers (no H or X pipes...

    Never buy the first year of a new model... My 2 cents.

    Clunk when letting out clutch!!

    Thanks for the info, especially coming from someone who makes stuff for these cars. You've probably seen and heard many instances of this sort. :nice:

    MPG improvements.???

    Just be aware that you can upgrade to the 4 guage/message center/my color. I just did that on my new 08 for around $475 total. It was dealer installed and that included the new cluster, setting it for my current mileage, and new switch. Lots of cool info in the message center (see your owners...
