    Fram Boost

    All this weekend I kept seeing commercials for Fram Boost (www.framboost.com) so I decided to check out their website and see what the fuss was about. Here's what I think: Between the info and photos on their website, it seems to me that they're either OEMing their stuff from AEM or ripping...

    Advice on A/B exhaust install

    I have the same axle back. I installed it without jack stands although in retrospect it may have been easier with. I can't say I had any fitment issues but I did check the clearance around the rear bumper to make sure nothing was rubbing. Other than that a week later I had to crawl up underneath...

    New pics of The Mistress

    Awesome. You car is the first lowered Mustang I've seen that doesn't look weird to me. What springs did you get? I'm not brave enough myself to lower my car b/c of all potholes in Baltimore, but your car sure does look sweet. Makes me want to reconsider ... -Frank p.s. Congrats on the...

    TripTunes

    Got a call from my dealer yesterday. He said I they're taking orders for the infamous TripTunes now, but was unable to give me an actual ETA. I cut and pasted some info from http://www.fordaccessoriesstore.com -- $50 bucks beats the best price I've seen for the PIE adapter. I wonder why the 05...

    Live and learn

    When I bought my Mustang I knew I wanted to add some easy bolt-on power gains, so I started out with the basics (i.e. CAI, performance muffler, underdrive pulley). What I failed to realize was how my choices in the short-term would effect what I have planned in the long-term. Specifically, the...

    Magnaflow, JBA, MAC???

    Good catch. With headers, single axle-back, CAI and tune it showed about a 20 hp increase http://www.jbaheaders.com/articles/50Mustang_306.pdf -Frank

    Magnaflow, JBA, MAC???

    I agree with Jimp about their not being much HP to be gained by going with duals. The rare exception being a turbo or supercharged application. If you want to add an exhaust component that you'll see some decent HP gains from, you should consider JBAs shorty-headers. There was a good article...

    CAI Question

    I'm a fan of the AEM Brute Force. They should be CARB exempt or at least certain models are according to their website. The performance gains are about the same, maybe a little more, than the K&N. Figure about 8-12 hp -- no tuner needed. My draw to the AEM was their "Dryflow Air Filters" and...

    New PIE aux adaptor

    You're welcome. The potentiometer on the PIE (or any like device for that matter) are intended to boost the signal of a line-level device. Headphone jacks just aren't line-level. I'm not saying you can't run an iPod into the PIE via the headphone jack, but it's usually an up hill battle --...

    New PIE aux adaptor

    My two cents: ==================== 1_Instead of soldering the two wires that go to the top center power connector, as illustrated in "Idiot’s Guide to the FRD04-AUX Adaptor", I would suggest using "quick splices". You can find them at your local auto parts store or Home Depot. They make the...

    flowmaster american thunder axle back?

    I received my American Thunder v6 axle-back today from justflowmasters.com and it's already installed ... I LIKE IT! Even for a single it's makes a pretty huge sound, not a v8 sound by any stretch but a major improvement over stock. Now I'm thinking JBA headers for some more horses ... -Frank

    flowmaster american thunder axle back?

    Just emailed justflowmasters.com and they have the single AT for the v6 in stock and are willing to price match summit. Here was their reply: Since Summit has a 9.50 handling charge we would give you a price of 182.89. Their free shipping is not free shipping and ours is. Roger Flint...

    Anyone have detailed instructions for an ASP Under..

    My appreciation to both rygenstormlocke and scrming. I contacted my ASP reseller this afternoon and they said that the install sheet I received was incomplete although they weren't sure why. They're going to make sure I get the right instructions ASAP. Once that happens I was thinking I might...
