    Stock timing as compared to the Diablo Tune

    Cause that takes forever, and I'm lazy! For one thing, it's hard for me to tell when my car is pinging, or barely pinging, because it's loud. I can't hear pinging really, or I'm afraid I would hear some pinging. I really don't want it to ping at all. But, I also know that it is different...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Bassani BX or Magnaflow midpipe? Well, the FRPP catback is ordered. Just gotta get the Magnaflow pipe now. Would you guys recommend Magnaflow or Bassani's new BX version of their midpipe? (I think that's what they are calling it - BX). I can't seem to find one for an auto transmission...

    4.10 and Auto Tranny Shift Smoothness = other GT owners' opinions!

    Thanks man. I did the flush, filter change, and set all my shift firmness settings with the diablo to "Stock" for Partial Throttle, and as hard as they'll go for WOT. That is helping a lot. I sure hope they put the right oil in mine though. :( Unfortunately I did not check on that. I...

    Stock timing as compared to the Diablo Tune

    Factory HP tune doesn't work. Because the Factory HP tune does not work. There is a major glitch, in that when you set the gear ratio to anything other than stock, it doesn't set your speedometer or miles. I don't think it sets anything at all. So that's why I have to retard timing...

    93 Octaine(tryed searching... no luck)

    My car began having trouble starting. I've always used 87. So I ran 3 or 4 tanks of 93 through it with some octane boost and fuel injector cleaner. The startup problem went away. I'm also having my fuel filter changed just to make sure. After that, I'm going to use 89 from now on. I...

    Just mufflers, or full catback????

    Here's my experience... Let me tell you my experience, and what I am looking for now as well. First, I welded in a couple of Magnaflow mufflers and left everything else stock. I should have stopped there. No interior drone, but you could hear them when taking off. NEVER any interior...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    I'd like to hear different combos with the stock catback too. It seems like everyone always changes the catbacks, but the mid-pipes are what really gives the performance boost. It seems like the straight-through catbacks help a little more I guess. I read somewhere that a Magnaflow catback...

    Stock timing as compared to the Diablo Tune

    Does anyone know how much one has to retard the timing in the Diablo Tune to equal the Ford factory tune? Does it need to be retarded -40, or is that even below the factory tune? I'm looking to run 87 octane gas. I was told to retard the timing -20 to run 89 octane, so it's a good guess...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Sweet! I'm looking forward to it. I'll probably order the magnaflow catted x and the FRPP today then and get it installed next week asap. :banana: I want to get a camcorder and take some short clips of my car. I'll see if I can do that really soon before I change my exhaust and after...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Not a wuss, GOSH! ha ha Ha ha! Yeah, I like loud actually. But loud inside gets to me (and my passengers, argh) after a while. I figured I'd go with a "sleeper" exhaust. I think I could go that whole route with my car actually, but I'm not sure. It's getting lowered Monday (only about...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Ha ha, thanks. I already have a magnaflow system. My sig says Flowmaster 40's because they are clamped into my Magnaflow tubing. I had the whole Magnaflow system though originally. Quite a drone with a Mustang Tuning catted X pipe and the whole Magnaflow cat back. I don't know what the deal...

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    Wondering the same thing. I have 40,000 on my car, so I was thinking about using it as well.

    So, how does the Charger compare...

    Man, I agree. The Charger was a huge let down to me. :( At least the GTO (the newer one) is fast. I think it still looks pretty bad though. The Mustang has them all beaten completely in the looks department. Some magazine I was reading, I can't remember... it could've been Car &...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Wow, I'm surprised. Are your magnaflows welded in, or is it the whole 2.5" cat back? When I had Magnaflows welded in, they were a lot quieter than when I put the whole 2.5" cat back on. I think I'd like to go the FRPP cat back route. Where can I find one? Partshopper and Mustang Tuning...

    Nice! Sweet. Where did you get your FRPP cat back?

    SRT-4 can wax a '05 Mustang GT?

    One tried to dig into me from a 50mph roll before. He didn't keep up, and I have an auto. All I did was punch it and let the auto do all the shifting. All I had at the time was an X pipe, CAI and MAC cat back. I have 4.10 in the rear now, so I'm not worried in the least. He had a fat...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Weird! Huh. Never thought of that. But you know, when I sit up straight, I did notice the drone was less. :shrug: Go figure!

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    I have wondered the same thing. I've wondered the same thing. I shouldn't have been an idiot and let the shop keep my stock cat back. :( It's pretty much non-existant now. I'd put it back on a new Magnaflow X. I could get a stock catback off ebay for around $200 shipped. I'd rather...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    FRPP 2.5" w/ a Magnaflow Catted X - quiet, droneless setup? I did not know that Steeda were considered droneless. That's good news, as they look to be a good quality cat back. I would get the Ford Racing catback, but I can't seem to find one online anymore (at least from my usual online...

    Is this a Droneless Exhaust Setup?

    Hi All. I'm looking to upgrade my exhaust to either a Magnaflow Catted X or a Bassani Catted X. I also want a 2.25 inch catback exhaust system. Is the only one that size the stock setup? Basically, I want good flow and no interior drone. I'm talking stock-like interior drone, which...
