    Help me build my exhaust for 2007 s/c GT

    Put some high flow cats on it, there's enough pollution in this country already. Then some mufflers of your choice, straight thru, chambered, glass packs, etc, then some nice stainless tips out the back where they should be. I don't think you will need a tune unless you install long tube headers.

    Here a clunk, there a clunk...

    I currently have a 2008 GT and it was clunky. Installed a Hurst shifter and it was more clunkier. :nice: Modified the rear bracket on the shifter and it's less abrasive now. Synthetic oil on the transmission, topped off the rear end. Just turned over 36K miles. If you how to run the clutch...

    What New Tires For Bullitt

    ^^What he said. Don't run 555s if you drive in rain or cold roads. Get some Pirelli all season if you want quiet/quality. Just my 2 cents.

    spark plugs

    I know, I know, this thread is 7 years old but now it's back on top. Most plugs I've installed over the years are fairly close to the correct gap right out of the box. I got a close out price on some AP25 for my 5.0 F-150 and they're gapped about 42-45 right out of the box. My year (1995)...

    Ford hates their customers..........

    You can divide a dealership in to 3 different catagories as a consumer.. Sales, Parts, and Service. Some have butthead sales staff yet the parts and service departments are great. Some have decent sales people and the parts department is an ass. Find the one that fits your needs.

    Exhaust cutouts on 2011 mustang gt

    Good point. The 5.0 dual cam has a great sound to begin with and the small 4.6 (nicely modified) can still rumble pretty good.:nice:

    2006 GT Great Brake Life

    Those little rear brakes are working harder than you think. Front ones should last at least 90k unless you let your wife drive it. Traction control is a good point, it'll stab the hell out of those brakes.

    got '12 GT gas indicator down to 3 miles left

    I always wondered how many miles it would go below zero. Get the 50 mile warning and then I go to work for a couple more days and see how quick it goes down. 50...32...20...depends on the foot. I only drive 8 miles to work (16 round trip)..Then it always gets filled up.

    Exhaust cutouts on 2011 mustang gt

    I'll bet your neighbors don't like you either :D Seriously, Cutouts are probably illegal for street use in most states and they sound like crap unless you have a nice set of long tube headers and a healthy engine. my 2 cents

    Ford hates their customers..........

    Back to original post 1. I have about 6 Ford dealers within 30 miles of my house and a couple have lousy customer service, but for the most part they are just typical dealers. 2. I DO NOT update software just because there's a newer version. Most of the time new bugs will appear. Let...

    New hood on a 2006 GT, now engine is running lean

    At first I thought "That's crazy", but then I looked at the picture of the under side of the hood. That seems to be a true ram-air ducted right into your CAI. The only thing I could suggest is what has already been mentioned, a shield/diverter or more mesh in the hood, but that kinda defeats...

    Help pls. 99 cobra engine problems

    We need more info here! What do you mean by "wouldn't crank for me"? Will the engine turn over and not start? Does "1 owner" mean you are the 1st owner or you bought the car from the original owner. :rolleyes: There's many many smart mechanics that monitor this board, some not so smart, but...

    You took a Ford Mustang to a Ford dealership and they said they can't work on it? Holy Crap!

    axleback

    The American Muscle videos are great ear candy. The stock car has it's volume turned down and the axle backs are turned up. They all sound good/different, but not good enough to swing me either way for a $450 axle back. I bought a Pypes Violater for my 2008 and I'm not impressed. It...

    Edelbrock vs. Ford Racing Supercharger

    I agree that Edelbrock pastes their name all over the top of the blower and engine covers. Edelbrock had been good to me with small block Chevy, big block Chevy, big block Pontiac, and even AMC (Jeep), but this little (4.6) Mustang engine is what I have now. BTW, never had a blower on any of...

    Automatic Headlights

    Don't know Tinman. Did Mustangs even have any kind of "auto lights"? We don't have Cadillacs, we have Mustangs..
