    vacuum leak or what???

    I just dropped a KN filter in the stock box, and it is noisy at idle. You can hear a distinct hissing sound all the time inside the car. I looked at a 98GT todAY with a BBK CAI and it was actually quiet???? Why is mine so loud??

    why is my CAI so loud!!

    I just put the Demolet intake kit on my 96GT and it has a constant hiss that comes in the cabin at idle. Actually annoyoing as hell. I have an X-pipe and cat back, and this hissing sound overtakes everything at idle. I am dissapointed with this. I had a 1999 GT with a densecharger, and no hiss...

    help with X-pipe...

    Had UPR-Xpipe installed by shop, on the 96GT and sounds like a little clicking going on. Not too bad, but noticeable. I went back twice and no leaks found. Is this common with the x-pipe since we have 2 convertors instead of 6?? I have had exhaust leaks before, and this is slightly different...

    torque from pullies?????????

    Hey, I did pullies a few mustangs ago on a pre 99 like I have now being a 1996 model. I remember the car pulling much harder off the line. Would it be accurate to say HP is negligible, but torque might be 5-10 ft/lbs???? Has anyone had problems with the Steeda brand pullies. Are there any gains...

    superchips 1725 tuner results

    I have a 96 GT auto, and just did the performance tune and went back and set the shifts to full hard. I was actually very impressed. The car pulled much better from 3500-5500 RPM, and spun tires hard off the line, and goes a little sideways into second even. Only other mods are bassani cat back...

    bassani installed today

    Finally had the stainless SC Bassani put on. It sounds awesome without the silencing inserts. No noise in the car, but very mean behind the car. About 100 times better than the cheap flows I had last time. Very distinct and agressive sounding!! Midpipe to come next. My 96 has 6 cats!!!!! Whats...

    boring white paint

    Has anyone had racing stripes laid on their white mustang to break up the monotony of the boring white pallet. I was quoted 400 to have the car computer designed and then cut 2 dark blue stripes to run from front to back. They also do a tapered pin stripe on the side with mustang written in it...

    speedometer fixed after gear install

    the problem I had was just disturbed wires near the speed sensor, and they were grounding out. The wire shroud was in poor condition from the heat of the exhaust. One in a million 5 minute fix finally in my favor. Usually I get handed a huge bill, but not today!!!!!

    bassani owners please!!

    How does the basani street series all stainless system sound versus the bone stock decent tone I have now. I will be installing mine later this week. I was hoping for more aggressive but not too loud. I assume they are similar to a borla type sound which I have had before. What do you guys...

    96 GT speedometer quit, OD light flashing

    Long tubes??

    Hi, I was considering long tubes on a 1999GT. Is it worth the $700. I have weld in mufflers, and some intake improvements to compliment the headers. Does sound or performance change any after install on the BBK for example. Any help is much appreciated!
