    Plugs

    The carbon build up wins the battle against the factory plug two piece design:mad: It will be intersting to see what happens with mine since the original plugs are still in there and I'm just over 95K miles:shrug:

    Mine hasn't made any interior noises in about two years now...the fix...put a ton of miles on it and wear those noises out:D My car is now just over 95K miles!

    Trading in the 6 banger for an 8

    I would definitely swap the OEM air box back on and if you still have the original muffler to swap that and it will make the car much more dealer trade in friendly. Keeping the tuner is a good idea and should be no big deal for Brenspeed to unlock it and put the new tune on it:nice: A week or...

    new parts ordered

    I was told that using a tune written for factory manifolds with O/R H (could be for any mid pipe, I'm not sure) with LTs could foul your plugs. I was given a new tune for the LTs for free, so what the heck.

    Biggest Rear Tires

    Thanks, undisputed:D As wusthof was saying, those tires sound like they'd fit, but pay close attention to the rear wheel offset! Mine is +40mm offset and the wheel lip sits about flush with the fender. I imagine for a 10.5" wheel, you'd need a bit more offset...+45 to +50 (if they even make...

    Good luck on reaching your goal with your upcoming mods:nice: I don't know if that is possible as even great mail order tunes can be tweaked and improved upon in person on a dyno. I attended a dyno day two years ago with Doug (Bamachips) and he was able to get about 10 HP more on the dyno over...

    Got my lights tinted!

    Looks great:nice: As long as the lights aren't totally blacked out and are easily visible with the lights on, cops shouldn't pick you out just for that.

    Sunroof

    The roof panel of the S197 contains no structural support of any kind! It is just a headliner inside and a single sheet of thin aluminum on the outside. All of the structural support is at the edges which proves how well built the S197 is:nice:For the Glassback roof, almost all of the roof panel...

    Can anyone give me feedback on my decision to take a road trip in the mountains?

    Sure it can! The S197 V6 power is equal to or better than most of the V8 Fox bodies and some of the early SN95 V8s!

    Biggest Rear Tires

    You are talking about width, correct? 1.4" drop with 10.5" wheel should be ok, but you'll have to watch the tire height. I currently have 1.5: drop and running a 285/50-18 on 10" wheel and have room to spare. That tire is 29.2" tall and 11.6" wide.

    Changing S197 Fuel Filter

    Everything NastyStang said is correct.:nice: I also pulled the fuse, but still had some leak out. The plastic panel wasn't too bad upon removal, but putting it back on was the PITA!

    Color code

    No doubt the '05+ GTR is a custom mixed color (non Ford), but I'm sure you could come close at a paint supply shop:nice: From pictures I've seen, it appears a bit darker than Grabber Orange. From the net: "The bright Valencia Orange car – inspired by the famous Grabber Orange 1970 Mustang Boss...

    2011 GT/CS PICS HOLY CRAP!!!

    I'd take the grille in black. The rear is still too ugly (chopped off corners and too much tall black plastic) and then that hideous pedestal spoiler is :notnice:

    question on winter driving

    This is the fourth winter my Stang has seen! For the past three years, it has been my only car, so I don't have much choice. This is the first year it's been "snowed in"! Years past, we only get about 4" tops in each storm and few and far between at that, but about a month ago we got hit with...

    I just got a STOCK '06 Mustang GT what can I do about the car sound?

    If you want obnoxious loud, use a straight through or muffler delete setup (SLP, Pypes mid mount, straight pipe). If you want the deeper tone, stick to a chambered muffler (Flowmaster, MAC, Magnaflow). All the systems will get louder upon removal of the cats! O/R X pipes tend to be raspier...
