    2010 Strut Bar

    I tried the 2010 bar on my 2009 GT. Slightly bowed the hood. I really wanted it to work; however the bar is on the way back to the vendor right now.

    Question about FRPP Exhaust (Stingers)

    I believe you can buy band clamps similar to factory from jegs or Summit.

    Black Car

    Fourth Horseman, yes, I was (still am, I think). Also had the Lidio SCT tunes. I'd had the famous bad black paint problem on the '03 that would blemish ifyou looked at it sideways. Joe

    Black Car

    Follow 05PhillyStang's advice. Don't obsess too much. I had a black Mercury Marauder and now I have the black GT. Both a b#$%h to keep clean. A little off topic . . . A buddy of mine has an 06 BMW M3 - Black. Four months old with 800 or so miles on it. He hardly drives it, keeps it...

    '05 Transmission problems

    I had an '02 with the 3650. Started reading the threads on this forum. I called the regional TREMEC rep. His response was that the trans had problems, TREMEC put together a repair kit, and that Ford knew about it. 3 more months of fighting with Ford and they rebuilt the trans. Tradded the...

    Installed Ford Racing axleback

    I may get flamed for my opinion. but I have the flows with the stock H. It sounds like a coffee can to me. No clue why it sounds like this. The opinions here sound good. Muffler placement is probably a big factor. I've had a '98 Gt with flows, an '02 GT with Ravins, an '03 Marauder with...

    MTX subs

    Anyone buy the new MTX Thunderforms sub yet? While I have not heard a thunderforms sub enclosure before, I've heard that the thunderforms for the older mustangs sound like poop. Just curious to see if anyone had any experience ith the new one.

    Failsafe mode

    Just looking for opinions/experience on failsafe. My 2005 GT - 92 octane SCT tune and K&N only - went into failsafe mode this morning shortly after starting. Approx. 45 degrees outside. I noticed that it was idling a little rough. Shut it off and immediately re-started. Everything back...

    My Opinion - Flowmaster American Thunders

    I bought the flows about 4 months ago, put them on and took them off after one month because of the drone. After reading this thread, I decide to put them back on today. While I like the factory sound, its nice to have a little deeper tone.

    '05 polished FR bullets

    Ran a search, but did not find a previous thread. Thought I saw one in the past. Anyway, anyone have the 17 x 8 FRPP polished bullets? Photos? Any trouble with the clear coat. Thanks

    in the shop with trans problems

    My '02 had the problem. TSB, when it finally came out, fixed the problem. As I recall, the biggest problem was the 2nd-3rd shift in the cold.

    05 gt vs mach1?

    I've had an '04 MACH 1 - unmodified. I now have an '05 GT - unmodified. The are just about the same. The biggest differences I've noticed is how the '05 handles the power/torque in the straight and in the curves. Much smoother. A review that came out back when the '05 platform went on sale...

    Got my '06 GT!

    I resisted getting rid of the MACH. I bought it after production ended so all that was left was a used auto. National search turned up nothing. Well the auto would break the rear loose when it banged 2nd- stock. Pretty sweet. But . . . tom281 . . . I agree that the new platform is a huge...
