    Reason to keep stock muffler?

    I am hopefully getting the Magnaflows put on today. Can't wait. Can anyone think of a good reason to keep the stock muffler around? Thought about selling it on ebay or something. Couldn't see a reason to waste space in my garage with something I don't think I would ever reuse.

    Flashing ECU and warrenty

    Does anyone have experience with this? Does flashing an ECU void warrenty? If you flash it back (stock) before taking it to the dealer for service, can they tell you flashed it in the first place? Can this be argued under the "Moss/Magnussen act"? I am sure this has been hashed out before, so...

    Magnaflow catback ordered

    I just ordered mine as a Christmas present to my Mustang. (Why can't cars get presents????) Should get installed first part of next week. :banana: I really liked the sound of the Magnaflow, which I thought was deeper/throatier than the stock. Has anyone Dyno'ed their car after installing...

    Anyone catch this?

    I know this isn't about the Mustang, but it struck me as very odd, since I've never heard of anyone doing this... According to MotorTrend, next spring's Pontiac Grand Prix GXP version will sport 222/45R-18s in the FRONT and 255/50R-18s in the BACK. Yup, larger wheels in the front. Why...

    Quote for Magnaflow

    You guys that have had this done - is this price high/low/just right? 579.00 for Cat-back Magnaflow exhaust 75.00 for installation. That's a local shop for me here. I thought in some previous posts I had seen better prices on this exhaust system. :scratch:

    Motortrend's COTY BS

    A little slow to read this month's MotorTrend. Sorry if this has been hashed out. Question: Did anyone else think it was a bit strange for them to pick on the GT for having a V-6 sibling they apparently didn't like too much? The article made it seem like the GT "Coulda beena contenda" but...

    Excursion goes to that happy car lot in the sky

    Tree huggers win?? http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1896&ncid=1896&e=20&u=/nm/20041213/us_nm/autos_ford_suvs_dc Funny part is, they plan to extend the expedition. Extend? Like make longer? Doesn't that make it...an excursion named expedition? Personally, I think Ford...

    WHOA Nelly!!

    Whew. Gotta a little scared in the stang this evening and thought I would pass it along for comments so I can feel a little reassured. It's that solid rear axle. I was taking this nice little left hand sweeping on ramp here in Birmingham getting onto to a freeway. It's about a 45-55 mph...

    Opinions on this wheel from SSR?

    I think I have finally found the "right wheel" for my Torch Red GT. This wheel, 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back. 45s and 40s for a staggered look. Sitting on BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW tires. Opinions? This is the tire: (ignore the wheel) Killer tread pattern, no...

    Any Ford Technicians....

    Have any of you guys seen a TSB on the Shaker stereo problems yet? Just wondering. Maybe you could let everyone know when something happens with this thing. I know I would appreciate the heck out of it! Thanks Guys!

    A nod to 05 owners...

    Forgot to mention this... A beautiful red Dodge viper pulled beside me in Birmingham today. I was a little flustered to say the least. No way I am getting in a stop light drag with a viper, obviously. Viper driver looks over at me and gives me a thumbs up. I had to laugh...he liked MY car!! 2...

    Anyone know who makes the Shaker 500/1000?

    Is it Shaker?? Can't find info anywhere. Given the numerous posts with new Stang owners having probs with the Shaker systems, I thought I would try and find who makes this stereo and see if they or Ford is actually fixing the problem. I did a search for the Shaker but kept coming to Ford...

    First police chase of a new Stang.

    A police chase of an (old) Stang. This guy is a pretty good driver. Watch the reverse move. If he/she just coulda spun it around. http://www.autothing.com/funthings/autothingTV/aTV-Media/stangspin.wmv I'd say it was doing a buck twenty. :D :nice:

    One of the first in Birmingham

    I have a friend at a dealership in Hunstville who was able to snag one red Mustang GT for me. I've had her since Friday and I am truly in love with this car. This is my first mustang and I have had a friggin grin on my face ever since I planted my butt in the leather seat. It's torch red...
