Yeah, I noticed that about your car. Another thing is you have one of the very few mustangs that doesnt have screaming powersteering. Mine screams and its perfect. Mack's (across the street)is also starting to whine and about 3 other guys I know with foxes have it too. Thank you ford!

yea i know, tons of them have powersteering that whines like a banshee. mine started doing it after i took it outta storage like 2 winters ago so I took a turkey baster sucked as much of the old fluid outta the thing that I could and put new fluid in, and it went away. if it didnt cure it a trip to the parts store would!

I drove my car for a week with the stock mufflers, stock H pipe, stock headers...

The second week I took all that crap out. Busted out the sawzall, and installed my current setup.

It was quiet to say the least. I can't even remember.

Mines had holes rusting out when i bought it on the stock mufflers,it made the car sound a bit loud and kinda cool too untill the hole on one side opened up more and then it sounded like ****. I had it for 2 months like that till i got my flowmaster cat-back and x-pipe.I also remember that the 4 banger 87 coupe i had 3 years ago also had a messed up muffler and sometimes it sounded like a v8,lol.

damn, i have a bone stock 5.0 and i thought it sounded loud enough, i'm looking into getting a full bassani x system (headers, x-pipe, after-cats) so maybe it'll blow me away from sound difference.

My bone stock 88, is rather quiet, but you can still hear when I drive up. I cannot wait until I get my new exhaust and h/c/i setup.....I want to forget the stock sound as well. This dude has a 75 maro that sounds nasty but it is as slow peanut butter, but he sounds fast
