    Borla or Flowmaster?

    Just curious, did you like the sound and performance of the JBA single? I'm thinking of switching to that or a flowmaster American Thunder single.

    Oil

    Glad to hear it sounds like it was just the oddities of Ford OEM stuff.

    Oil

    It could be that the oil was so new that it hadn't turned the darker color that comes from dirt and grime suspended in it. Either that, or you drained something other than the oil. The drain plug is on the right hand side of the pan (facing the front of the car) and you can see creases in...

    Braking Vibrations

    From the original post it didn't sound like he was talking about breaking hard at high speeds. But if that was the case it definitely could be the ABS.

    Transmission question

    #1 I'm pretty sure the V8 and V6 use the same auto transmission #2 Typically a manual tranny is faster with a good driver. I believe you have to get to some pretty high end cars before the auto starts beating the manual.

    Jack Stand Points

    I was rotating my tires and changing my oil a bit back and wasn't really happy with where I put my jack stands. Does anyone have detailed descriptions of good places to put the jack stands on the S197, or even better a marked up picture :) Thanks,

    05 mustang v6 Tranny Noises

    I'd say make them show you it happening in a couple other Mustangs before you believe that it's 'normal'.

    Braking Vibrations

    Brakes and Rotors are something that aren't under warranty for too long. I'd definitely try the dealer first though. Even if they don't fix it, they might help with the diagnosis. I had something similar on my Accord, pulsing when breaking from 50-60. Changing the rotors helped. It didn't...

    Mod Consideration

    The T-Lok is Ford's limited slip differential. If you have ABS/Traction control it's probably not as necessary (although still nice :))

    Mod Consideration

    The JBA headers are CARB certified as is the K&N FIPK kit, so you'll pass CA smog with those. From what I've seen people say the output of the V6 doesn't really justify a dual exhaust, the dual is more for sound/looks. You'd get more bang for the buck simply from a free-flowing single...

    HELLO EVERYONE IM NEW......

    Heya Tiff, I went from a '94 Honda Civic and an '01 Honda Accord to my '06 Mustang. Coming from having owned Hondas for 10 years I expect a very high level of craftsmanship in my cars. So far after owning the Mustang for 6 months I must say I'm impressed. Long term reliability is a big...

    Hesitation on Takeoff

    Thanks for posting this. The first time it happened was after driving for a while on the freeway. The second time was when it was stone cold (probably 45 degrees outside). I'm not sure if the TSB applies to me, but if I can't figure out what's causing it, I might just go that route. :)

    Hesitation on Takeoff

    It is a stock 5 speed pony package automatic. I might be able to make a video, but so far it's only happened twice in about 4 months so I'm not entirely sure I can replicate it. Once was right after I bought the car, I was getting off the freeway and turning right. I didn't gun it or...

    Hesitation on Takeoff

    I was reading a different thread where Jimp stated that getting a good tuner mod can get rid of the 'dreaded hesitation on takeoff'. A couple times while pushing the Mustang hard on takeoff I've gotten some hesitation... it almost feels like the motor is about to die. Does anyone know if...

    I can't get the video to play on my computer, but it sounds sweet :)

    Any 2006 v6 turbo systems out there?

    A few MPG doesn't sound like that bad of a loss. Looking forward to hearing what you guys put up at the track :)

    Any 2006 v6 turbo systems out there?

    It would make sense that if you take advantage of the turbo you're going to get worse gas mileage, but if you drive it the same as before the turbo would you say the gas mileage is better, worse, or about the same? Thanks,

    Need info .. V6 manual MPG

    I actually compared the MPG calc from the computer against the actual miles/gallons and it was pretty close... off by a couple tenths per tank at most. I just recently got done with a long road trip through central CA and got some pretty good numbers. Cruising at night at 55 I was getting...
