    2008 GT Exhaust

    this and every other mustang forum has literally hundreds of posts on this topic, and opinions about the "best" exhaust setup are just as numerous. ideally, you should hear it in person. that's what sold me on bassani. if you can't hear it in person, search youtube or streetfire.net for sound...

    nonstandard wheel offsets

    i am thinking about buying some 19" rims. the front rims are 19 x 9 with 30 offset (2" lip). the rears are 19 x 10.5 with 25 offset (4" lip). would these work on a 06 GT? would i need a bump steer kit or other mods? i don't want them if they will stick out beyond the fenders

    wheels: 18s + springs or 19s +/- springs?

    D-06, what are the dimensions of your wheels (including offset)? did you need a bumpsteer kit or other mods to maintain proper alignment? i think 19s are perfect for the new mustangs... a little more wheel than 18s, but 20s are too pimpish

    wheels: 18s + springs or 19s +/- springs?

    mine's a daily driver too, and i don't want to get beaten up driving back & forth to work. i would get a lowering kit only for excessive wheel gap, not for performance enhancement. i read that BMR springs were a bit softer (initially) than stock. i definitely don't want springs that will rattle...

    wheels: 18s + springs or 19s +/- springs?

    i was pretty much set on 19s and a lowering kit if necessary (to clean up the fender gap). now i'm thinking about going with 18s and a lowering kit. the ride will be harsher either way, but i suspect the 18s + springs would be more rough than 19s without springs. i want the wheels to fill out...

    Whipple Supercharger Owners Chime In...

    you might get close to 475rwhp with nothing else, but you'd have to set the boost fairly high and you'd be gambling on how long your stock motor will last. most importantly -- get a good tuner

    Anybody sell a Foose-style kit: 'open' headlights>?

    if you get that kit, don't bother installing high-end headlights (ie, saleen HIDs)... unless you can afford another set after a rock hits them

    2009 Ford Mustang Spy Shots

    i agree. ford did an awesome job with the retro look, but the giugiaro concept resembles a old camaro or challenger more than any mustang. if the 2009 mustang looks like this concept car, i will be glad i bought a '05

    New Mustang GT Owner the new guy in town

    congrats, and welcome to the board! mine is a black & red '06 gt vert, my first convertible. i did my first "mod" (drilled aluminum pedals) the day after i took delivery. next i swapped the stock fog lamps for silvania silver stars, followed by saleen hid headlamps, bassani axlebacks, and a...

    Exhaust ????

    here's another vote for bassani. they sound awesome -- deep and throaty, not raspy at all. i have an '06 gt vert, and they have some drone between 1500-2000 rpm (55-65 mph) but it fades very quickly, and is hardly noticeable beyond 75 mph. the drone would get old if i cruised at 55-60 mph all...

    06 Auto of the lot or order an 07 manual?

    i agree, go with your gut feeling. i had a '96 gt auto and always regretted not getting a manual. i just bought a '06 gt vert with a manual, and i love it :D manuals get less on resale, but if you don't plan to sell it or you don't care about the (small) difference in resale value, then...

    boston acoustics z5/z6 in '05-06 vert

    i didn't order a shaker system because i planned to rip out all the stock stuff anyway :nice: for now, i think i'm gonna go with a single pair of z6's in the doors and nothing in the rear (i can always put speakers in the back if i miss them) and two 10"s in the trunk, a dedicated amp for...

    boston acoustics z5/z6 in '05-06 vert

    does anyone have a set of boston acoustics z5 or z6's in their '05-06 convertible? i want to replace the stock door speakers (it's not a shaker unit, just the basic 5.25" door speakers). i can get a good deal on some z6's, and i want to make sure they will fit. if not, i will proly get some z5's...
