    Changing S197 Fuel Filter

    I think the manual gives the fuel filter around 30K life. Is 15K to early? Also, I've heard our TB's get dirty. Anyone get the throttle body and injector service done at the dealer/reputable shop aroud 15K?

    Anyone else having problems with lower ball joint wear ?

    Could anyone with this noise describe it? Is it a creak, rattle, bang? Is it intermittant or is it always present? My 08 seems ok, just want to know what to look for if this surfaces.

    On a budget... Unfortunately

    Do you want to pee in the C6 cheerios from a dig or a roll? 4K centri S/C isn't going to do it. Not to be a jerk but the C6 is about 200lbs lighter with around 370rwhp. I'd say 450rwhp should put a hurting on them. But at that power, the internals and hardware may need some updating as chad...

    factory muffler tips welded to muffler???

    Well, it if were me, I would save for an AB and in the meantime polish the heck out of the OEM mufflers. There may be a "how to" link on here or on SVTperformance.com that will teach you to get them to look like SS. Its a nice DIY mod ($20 I think. Series of different grit sandpaper in...

    factory muffler tips welded to muffler???

    I'm no welder, but what is the cost of what you are thinking of doing? 60-80 for quality tips plus the cost of install (15-20)? See if the wife will go 1/2 with you on the 299 SSS system, or 220 pypes violators. Ebay might even have some attractive prices on used AB's. Both systems are...

    whats louder /more aggressive axle back for 09 mustang gt

    Here's my opinion on the three: 1. SLP- Very nice looking 4" dual wall tips. Very aggressive which is what I wanted. Just can't justify paying 350+ for dual walled muffler deletes. 2. Pypes muff deletes- Very loud; good. I've never heard one in person but all the sound clips sounded like...

    Difference between Magnaflows and Roush

    How much did you get for your used Roush AB? Break even? Good to hear the mag's work for you.

    Magnaflow issues.....

    I'm a boomtube fan myself but the SSS terminator AB ($299) seems like a good alternative to the SLP powerflows if you're still debating on those.

    heads up on subframe connectors

    I know subframe connectors greatly help verts. For a coupe (I have an 08), how much do they help if that's the only mod? Everything else stock.

    so...time is coming to upgrade..

    A lot of DD posts lately. Seem tough to advise because we all have different needs and what we define as acceptable. MPG? Power? Handling? Safety? Comfort? Price? Upkeep? Modification? MPG-Highway DD should be 25+ highway. M3, should be close. 5.0, probably. GT500, maybe 22-24. In the...

    Stainless Steel Systems!!!

    Good to hear you had a good experience. A while back I emailed them with a question about their muffling material (ceramic/steel mesh or fiberglass packing) and they responded back a little rude. Seem like a good copy of SLP and Borla for $150 less.

    Soud clips of catbacks with stock mid pipe and headers?

    You tube will give you a good idea. I listened to nearly 200 clips and narrowed it down to pypes violators and boomtubes. For the price (pypes $220, boomtubes $300) and the sound, I personally think they are the top 2 in bang for the buck.

    Pypes exhaust...good??????

    I'd get them. Good price even if the bids rise a little.

    How are these cars for daily drivers????

    I've never driven a tank of city only driving, so I'm assuming I'm at about 14-15 city. Highway driving however is actually quite impressive. Driving very frugually at 60mph (with no one around) I get 31-33mpg. 65mph=30, 70mph=28, 75mph=25-26. A/C will freeze your face even when it's 100...

    Boom Tube Review

    I picked mine up from the manufacturer in Temecula, CA in Feb this year. The designer said he got the idea from a harley design. Anyway, my driver side muffler fit fine (lined up flush with facia), but the passenger side stuck out 3 inches past the facia. The supplied clamps did not secure the...

    My new baby girl, sorry wrong forum, idc

    Beautiful. Congrats. 1st? Mine is 18mos and it seems like yesterday my wife and I were in the parking lot of the hospital confused on how to install the baby seat. Before you know it she'll be saying mommy/daddy just making you weak in the knees. Loss of sleep is totally worth parenthood.

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    I would say most of GT owners are cyl snobs, some more some less. I respect the 4.0 because it is actually quite torquey off the line. It does fall on it's face above 50+ 5th gear when you want to pass, but don't want or need it to drop to 4th or 3rd. In my opinion, they sound pretty good when...
