    Official FAQs Thread - Your input and recommendation requested

    Just saw this thread... I'll try to find time next week to dig for some good threads on the 4 topics. My gut tells me to just go look at every thread that Rygen posts in :p

    Looking to change stock grill

    <grammar lesson on> because one has a "w" sound, "a" is correct I believe Basically, if the word begins with a vowel sound, put "an" in front of it. "it's an honor to meet you" "my what a humorous tale" <grammar lesson off> :D

    Tune then an Intake

    I believe it depends on the CAI. K&N is a no, C&L is a yes... the rest, I'm not sure.

    v-6 cai question

    The the general concensus that I've seen is that the more effective a CAI is, the more it will alter the air to fuel ratio and the more likely you'll need a retune. C&L is one that is commonly stated as needing a reflash that gives excellent gains. Hope that helps.

    More horsepower

    Basically you'll need either a turbo or super charger. I believe the kits are 3-4k. Do an advanced search on the site for just this forum (2005+ V6 Tech) and you'll find lots of information (keywords like turbo, super, power, etc). Here's one thread...

    V6 mustang headers?

    Jenn, I would imagine that JBAs axle-back exhaust would sound good with their own headers. Or is that too much to ask for? :P

    Brake vibrations

    For minor "warping" you may be right Ken, but it does not seem unreasonable that under extreme temp changes rotors could become warped (such as riding the brakes all the way down a mountain, or breaking hard and then quickly cooling them by getting lots of water on them.) I've also heard over...

    Installing Vinyl Stripes

    When I bought my stang, my gas cap emblem was on crooked. I took it into the dealer to have them straighten it. They were going to put on a new one, but my salesman told me that the tech was able to pop it off pretty easily and it was still sticky enough that they just put it right back on...

    Brake vibrations

    Given the fact that the majority of the breaking is done by the front brakes and the fact that you're feeling it in the steering wheel it's probably a safe bet to say it's the front wheels. Best of luck :)

    Controversial thread,...buying hot Mustangs for wives

    My wife was definitely NOT excited about the Mustang (she did like the color scheme though)... I had a 4 year old Honda Accord that worked perfectly. At first she didn't want to drive it (if it was a stick, she wouldn't drive it at all), but after driving it a few times she does like the...

    Brake vibrations

    I had a very similar problem in my previous Honda Accord and I fixed it by changing both the rotors AND the break pads. It doesn't take much warping of the rotor for you to be able to feel it while breaking. It was really bad at the speeds you're describing. Personally, I'd do the work...

    Automatic Climate Control

    One of the things I would really love to have in my Mustang is automatic climate control. Does anyone know of a replacement for the stock climate control that uses a thermostat to automatically control the AC/Heat? It looks like it's all electronically controlled anyway and thus would be...

    2005+ gt wheels/tires speedo reading

    Yes, it will tell you that you're going slower than you actually are. Yes, it will add less miles on the odometer than you've actually gone. I believe it can be fixed by using a reflashing computer like a Predator or SCT. (But I've never done it myself) P.S. 6% would be closer to 3.6 MPH...

    Looking for a Dyno shop

    Thanks, maybe they might know somebody a bit further north.

    Threads + Housekeeping

    I'm totally confused how asking how to find a dyno shop is not performance related. Although, getting moved does get the thread twice the exposure, so I'm not sure it's a bad thing overall.

    Looking for a Dyno shop

    Anyone know how to find a place to do Dyno testing? (specifically the Orange County/LA, Cali area) Thanks

    headers

    I vote maybe :P. You'll definitely get some improvement from the headers, but as far as bang for the buck, they're probably pretty low on the list. Check out this article for some numbers on what you can expect to gain from headers, a muffler, a CAI, and a retune...
