Will the aftermarket catbacks place the mufflers where they SHOULD be (in front of the axle).

I ****ING HATE seeing the mufflers from the back of the car, all I want to see is pipes. God knows that some worthless piece of crap trying to pose as a human being is going to put fart pipes on the new Mustang. My only wish is that I'll be there to cave his skull in.

Anyway, some performance parts should carry over. I don't see why the current underdrive pulleys and timing adjuster wouldn't fit.
The rear end is the same, good old 8.8", so a gear swap could be done right out of the dealer (now all those people who have failed miserably by putting 3.73's on a naturally aspirated Mustang may redeem themselves). Question is if a current speedcal would still work, since nobody knows how the wiring is going to be laid out. I don't know about chips or ECU flashes.....isn't it using a new ECU system?

351CJ said:The 2005 Mustang PCM is supposed to be the Black Oak system similar to what is used on the Lincoln LS and T-Bird. If this is the case, there will be no need for any PCM reflash if you change gears. The speedometer and odometer are derrived from one of the wheel sensors. Therefore the only thing that matters is tire diameter. You should be able to put in any rear end gear you want and the speedometer (+ odometer) will still read the same.
351CJ said:An interesting side effect of this system is that even in reverse the speedometer will read up scale and the odometer will increment up even when you are in reverse.

351CJ said:Reminds me of an experience I had many years ago. I was working in a garage and this hot chick comes in all upset. She was supposed to go visit her girlfriend, who lived about 350 miles away. Instead she spent the weekend in town with her boyfriend. She needed someone to quickly put 700 miles on her odometer so her father could verify her weekend activities.
I just laughed my ass off and told her "sorry honey, you're in deep dog do-do. But one of my co-workers though he could help her out. He put her car up on the lift (a Camaro ), disconnected the speedometer drive shaft and proceeded to put an electric drill on it. Well the old drill only ran the speedo up to about 60 MPH. So at that rate he'd have to stand there for 12 hours to run up the required mileage.
Needless to day she was in tears as she drove off since none of us were about to tear her dash apart and screw with the odometer digits.
