Had new Ford GTA axle back mufflers, bought from Blue Oval Industries, installed a couple of months back by a local muffler shop. Took in the other day to dealership as exhaust pipe was hitting frame over bumps. They said they fixed under warranty (moved main exhaust pipe some before...

What exactly is the purpose of the charge motion plates? What is the benefit of deleting them? Thanks. :flag:

Ok, had it three months now and like it more every day. First Mustang I have ever owned. I've had lots of Detroit iron over the years and some nice German stuff (BMW/Porsches/MBs), this is the best combo of retro, go, handle and looks. I was around when the Shelby GT-350s were developed (had...

I thought I read that my 08 came with synthetic oil. Haven't had my first oil change yet, but I'm about due. (My 2000 E320 MB came with syn oil and the MB dealership has always put syn in it from day one.) Will they put in synthetic oil automatically?

I just installed GTAs on my car about a week ago. Then just yesterday I read an individual (on another Mustang forum) that said his GTAs rusted through in just two years and he was looking around for replacements. These things are FFRP 409 (hope I have the number right) stainless steel. Given...

I read the other day about some proposed legislation where the Calif Air Resources Board (CAB) is considering banning the selling of black and other very dark colored cars in CA. (I kid you not!) What next for this dumb state?? As dark absorbs more of the suns rays, it heats the car body...

Is there some part that would plug those license plate holes in the front bumper without using a screw or something? Looking for something plastic that I could paint the same color and that would be removable if I get a "fix it" ticket (live in CA) by the police. I've seen little push in...

I "think" I want to install the axle back M-5230-GTA mufflers. I've read a zillion exhaust threads, listened to many exhaust clips, etc. I have no exhaust mods now - bone stock. I'd like to hear some subjective assessments from those who have installed only the GTA mufflers (no H or X pipes...

As it says, thinking of changing to the shorty 14" antenna, but don't want to sacrafice radio quality. I don't use sat. radio, just plain old am and fm and CDs and live in rural area. Anyway, anybody install these and did you sacrifice sound quality or signal strength?

I've driven sticks most of my long life. My brand new 08 stang, only have 400 miles so far. Pretty loud clunk whenever I let the clutch out, especially hear in in 2nd and 3rd gears. Sounds like play in the drive shaft. Doesn't sound like something I should hear on brand new car. As this is...

Why are our 4.6 engines called modular? Ok so they have an overhead cam, so do others (some dual cams) that aren't called modular.

Like title says, want to maybe black chrome (or whatever) the pony on front. Don't like the chrome there. Has anybody done that? Anyone know how it comes off or what it's made of? Tx.

Do the 08s have the same head/spark plug issues as previous 3v 4.6 engines? (I also have an 04 F-150 5.4 3v with the two-piece plug issue.) Also, think I read somewhere that the shifter in the 08 has been upgraded from previous models. Is this true? Actually I'm really impressed with the way...

As I just bought a left over new 08, I didn't have all that much to choose from in silver and manual trans. So what I bought pretty much has everything I wanted but the 6 gauge pod that comes with interior ungrade package. (Can't believe a GT Premium doesn't come with all the...

Would like to lower my new 08 mildly and not end up with front end bump steer or alignment or any rubbing problems, etc. (if that's all possible). In many searches think I found one set of lowering springs that only take it down 1" in front and something like 1.3" in rear. I know there's a ton...

Have an 08. Inside arm rest is connector for IPOD and also one other on a cable with end about 1' wide. Anybody know what that connects to? Tx.

Where would I find a graph that shows the hp and torque curves over the rpm band for the stock GT 4.6 engine? I find knowing this info helpful in pulling hills relative to what gear to use to be in the torque sweet spot. I don't like to lug engines. Tx.

Been watching the economy and the Ford specials. Sat with local Ford sales folks today and here's the deal. Left over new 2008 GT prem 5 Spd manual, Options: Anti Theft System, Int Sport Appearance, 3.55 gears, HIDs, GT Appearance, Ambient Lighting and TripTunes (whatever that is) with MSRP at...

What is the stock compression ratio of these 4.6 engines? Any difference between 05 and 09 that anyone is aware of?

For those with 3.31, 3.55 and 3.73 gears and stock tires, what rpms are you doing at 70 MPH? Thanks.
