Haven't been on in ages but my advice is to go to a different shop if you haven't already. any changes after the factory cats do not have anything to do with smog. the only one that can hassle you about mufflers would be a cop for noise reasons. on my truck I have headers with an EO number...

Nice numbers. Are you sure you don't have the pictures backwards? I would think that the numbers would be higher in 4th than 5th.

Thanks. So it sounds like I would have to pull the panel to check for it just like pulling the panel to get to the tail lights?

I read somewhere that the early 05s with the Shaker 500 were prewired for the 1000 subs. Is this correct? Where exactly in the truck would I need to look? I don't want to pull carpet or panels without getting some type of confirmation. thanks

If the clip is not going in either you aren't pushing hard enough or the sensor is not seated down all the way. When I helped my nephew replace the housing on his we installed the sensors and everything onto it first and then installed it as a unit. Hardest part was that stubby little hose...

Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out and see if its something I want to do anytime soon. The system sounds so much better since installing Kicker KS68's in front at back that it may just stay that way for a while. I love the fact that the front speakers had MACH printed on the...

Even if BBK says you don't need a tune I would get one anyways. Your car will run much better with it. The headers should really have a tune for them as well. The throttle body spacer really does nothing for you so I would remove it. the catback duals do not required a tune but you might...

So I called Kicker since last time I tried talking to Shelby they told me they would have to contact Kicker. They said that the door subs are 2ohms which make me feel a little better about them. The reviews are so mixed that I am not sure about spending the money on them without also...

thanks for the reply. I found a post on another forum where someone took an ohm meter to them and they measured 4. I will have to check it again. I also found a post where someone said that Kicker told them that they are made to use with the full package including the truck sub since these...

I probably should have posted this here to start with. I hope someone can help me with this. http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/836208-shaker-door-subs-yet-again-sorry.html

Seriously? I would not want to see what your AFR looks like at WOT with long tubes and no tune. Damn near everything on these cars requires a tune.

Any cams that might gain low end? I am sure someone has something or can custom grind some.

So I have been looking at things and the Shelby Kicker subs looks nice and the price isn't bad. The issue I have with them is that they are a single voice coil 4 ohm sub. The factory is dual 1.2 ohm voice coils. Going from 1.2 to 4.0 ohm is a huge power drop, or are the amps bridged so...

As long as no sensors are turned off the test will not even know if you have any kind of flash tuner. I know since I had Superchips on my truck when it was tested and a friend of mine had a Diablo with a custom tune on his truck but I undstand your frustration. As for the diesel you do know...

Where is the best place to get an 8.8 to do the swap? NTO has them with the V6 flange already on them for $799 but I know they are going to be like $150 shipping since they charge $80-$100 just for shipping the dual exhaust kit. Thought about looking for one local but then would have to get a...

I will never get another set of chrome wheels again. They are way too much work. If you do not keep them spotless all the time the chrome will start to pit. I have pitting issues on a set of 22" right now because I don't drive my truck that often so stuff collects on them. Even with frequent...

New cars get a pass for the first 6 years so I had to smog my 05 Ram this year for the first time. California will smog everything 78 and newer. All test with the sniffer in the pipe and on a dyno. If its 96 and newer they plug into the test port. They even pressure test your gas cap and...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking it would look a little better and have less things to go wrong with it since there are less hoses. It would'nt stop me from getting an 05-06. I wouldn't let the carbon trap air box or the PITA rear speaker install turn me away from an 07+ either.

I have been looking around and I was wondering if there is any advantage to changing the 05-06 cooling sytem to the newer 07 and up style. It looks like every supercharger kit upgrades the 05-06 because of the thermostat location. Still looking around at cars so I am trying to figure out...

I will agree that long tubes are great in the correct application. For DD NA street car that isn't going to be run up to 6k plus for every shift they would be a waste of time and money. Adding a little more in the low to mid rpm's is what I would prefer for a DD. If tuned shorties will do...
