    Switching from higher to lower octane

    Roger that. I have magnaflow x-pipe, pypes mid-muffler cat back exhaust, Steeda 90mm CAI and UDP and a few other upgrades not related to a tune. After seeing the code that came up (P0420) I agree it must be the tune file. The 93 tune was running perfectly fine. My mileage is still at 15 mpg...

    Switching from higher to lower octane

    I was using a Brenspeed 93 octane tune (great tune) for about two years straight. I moved to a city with heavy traffic my mpg went down to 15 and I decided to switch to 87 octane to save money since I was just sitting in traffic most of the time anyways. I used the "stock" SCT XCal 3 87 octane...

    My car smells inside

    One idea is too put Arm and Hammer all over your carpets let it sit there for a few weeks then vacuum it up. I knew a guy that did that to get rid of the smell of vomit in his car.

    I want LOUDER!!!!

    I have had the pypes violator exhaust with an x-pipe for a little over a year now and like it, especially for the cost. The fitment is not the best, I’m still in the process of trying to eliminate a couple of rattles. I was told however by my performance shop that there are no “perfect”...

    Posted via Mobile DeviceWhen I was running around with no mufflers and I hit a good sized pothole I would get clunking/ scrapping sound. Ever since I got my cat-back on I have not had it happen.

    Questions and chit-chat

    Those were good info links. No, I haven't heard of the Hyundai and I'll believe it when I see it lol. Their newer cars are pretty decent though. This is definately NOT a question of loyalty I only buy Ford or Ford owned and my Mustang is my dream car from high school. This is a kind of...

    Questions and chit-chat

    The WRX itself kinda sucks with 224 hp the STI model is impressive BUT it starts at over $34,000 which puts it outside the GT's class. I couldn't find and EVOs on the muchybushy web page. The Eclipse is what appears to be another overprice under achiever as well. My whole argument to...

    Questions and chit-chat

    So, I was under the impression that the stock stang was electronically limited at 120mph but I know for a fact it can get up in excess of 130mph in 4th. Is the stock vehicle's top speed electronically limited at all? If so at what speed? When I'm driving hard I'm usually shifting in the 4500...

    X-Pipe worth it w/my setup?

    First off this is my first post and just want to say Hi to everyone! I got a stock 08 GT 5spd and I'm getting some of those new Flowmaster Delta 44s. I'm not planning on doing any other modifications (i.e. headers, tune, etc.) until my warranty runs out. My understanding is that mufflers...
