    What's a noob to do with a new stang? Advice?

    For your exhaust question, MAC boomtubes in my opinion are the way to go. No packing material inside the long 4" tube (small cheese grater looking resonators inside), loud outside (not harley loud), very little drone inside, not farty or raspy, and you can get them for $300. If I was rich...

    exhaust

    Cross shop the boomtubes as well. Less expensive and not as raspy.

    K&N Filter or CAI??

    A fellow stangnet member dynoed his car w/ a K&N drop in and with the stock paper filter. No gain. A CAI will flow better with the increased tube diameter and larger MAF to allow more air to enter. If you do go with a CAI, a tune is strongly recommended. The stock MAF only allows so much air...

    What would you get? 07 Saleen s/c or 07 GT500

    The 05 and early 06's did have a valve that would open and close upon varying rpm's. However, the valve kept sticking, so at first Saleen suggested that dealers put pins keeping the valve open. Saleen owners did not like this so Saleen then sent a revised system with a dual outlet, (1) turn...

    how much do 4.10's differ from 3.73's?

    I have the stock 3.31's, man trans, susp and tires (17's). If I went 4.10 or 3.73, I'd assume traction from a dig would leave me spinning in first and second. You have an auto, but still if you get some wider tires, better suspension, the 4.10's would be good.

    Conventional Oil in the 2010 Mustang GT?

    You'll get tons of opinions on this issue. But remember, Ford does all their durabiity testing with the motorcarft 5-20 syn blend. If you ever have a engine issue, the first thing that is evaluated is engine oil. It's not worth the hassle in my opinion to use something else and have to prove...

    dual on v-6

    I would check with the V6 guys and see what they did about the catalytic converters. Many 6'ers have the dual setup. The V6 CPU wasn't programmed to have true duals so I would guess you would also need a tune. V6 or Gt the 2010's look good, congrats. Warranty wise, is you do experience some...

    Exhaust drone with Mac Mufflers

    Based on the design of both (straight through), I would say they are both pretty close. Boomtubes are much cheaper than magnapacks and built well. They sound great during the day, and even better at night. I try to describe the sound as a huge multiplication of the engine noise versus a...

    Exhaust drone with Mac Mufflers

    I assume you have the chambered MAC mufflers. I've got the MAC boomtubes and the drone isn't bad. Then again, the rest of my car is stock and you've got a mammoth blower. I assume FI cars like yours always flow more air so modulating throttle to rid drone is probabaly pretty tough. There is a...

    Warm Weather Problems - Bogging/Pinging

    I also live in CA and work the same shift as you do. It has been very hot lately but luckily I haven't heard any pinging or bogging from low RPM on my 08GT (stock minus the boomtubes). Maybe a bit of throttle lag on 2K rpm up shifts, but no noises. On my 01GT, I had a CAI that would ping when...

    How happy is everyone with their CAI's?

    Thanks darkfire. So the "intake roar" sound I'm looking for is mostly muffled by the stock airbox assembly? To the OP, I thought the bullit CAI came with a conical paper filter. Is that a washable one?

    09 GT need advice

    I have the pacifica performance Boomtubes on mine and am very happy. Pretty much all the A/B's will give you a fair level of drone, some more some less. Chambered design's MAC/Flowmaster will drone more so than a straight through design. For the price ($275-300), they are priced very well...

    How happy is everyone with their CAI's?

    Sorry to highjack the thread but a quick question. I'm looking for a deeper exhaust tone but don't plan changing the midpipe, tune, or get a CAI/tune package. I'm assuming the stock intake's biggest restriction is the rectanglular airbox and the MAF. Will a smoother tube give me a CEL or...

    Anyone have this funny issue?

    I've got the same intermittant rattle though not as bad as that. More noticable at night.

    Thinking About Joining The 3V World! Opinions Wanted

    The 3v is durable enough for the mods you plan on doing to it. The only thing I don't like is the 2 peice drive shaft makes a clunk sometimes at slow speed upshifts. Other than that I think it is the best grand touring (not sport car) car for the money.

    How much did you get for trading in your 05-07 mustang gt?

    Deals are out there! I got my 08 in Dec 08 for 19400 with only 12 miles on it from my local dealer (Saleen went out of business and sold it back, no mods done, still new car). Not to sound snaky, but try to find the owner that is desperate to get rid of it, that is where you'll find your best...
