    '97 Vert top problems... again. Any suggestions

    Or, I try banging my head against the drivers side rear quarter panel 5 or 6 times, and that will break the frozen solonoid switch loose, and take out that frustration that comes with a stuck top. Much cheaper that going to Ford!!!

    vacuum leak or what???

    Thanks for the replies. I will check the box for a bad seal. Lastly, why was the CAI so darn loud at idle. I mean you could hear the hissing sound over the radio and exhaust. My last stang was fine with the CAI. I dont get it??

    vacuum leak or what???

    it all started when I put on the Demolet CAI. You could hear a hissing sound from 20 feet away, and very noisy inside the car. I said forget that and put the factory box back on with the KN filter and the silencer! Got the same hissing sound coming from the filter cannister area. What...

    vacuum leak or what???

    I just dropped a KN filter in the stock box, and it is noisy at idle. You can hear a distinct hissing sound all the time inside the car. I looked at a 98GT todAY with a BBK CAI and it was actually quiet???? Why is mine so loud??

    why is my CAI so loud!!

    I just put the Demolet intake kit on my 96GT and it has a constant hiss that comes in the cabin at idle. Actually annoyoing as hell. I have an X-pipe and cat back, and this hissing sound overtakes everything at idle. I am dissapointed with this. I had a 1999 GT with a densecharger, and no hiss...

    help with X-pipe...

    actually, you cant hear it anytime but with the window up. And no, they didnt use new gaskets at the collector, or header part of the car. Under full gas, you hear nothing but good deep sound. Under medium throttle you hear a little raspy sound, under light throttle, you hear nothing but normal...

    help with X-pipe...

    Had UPR-Xpipe installed by shop, on the 96GT and sounds like a little clicking going on. Not too bad, but noticeable. I went back twice and no leaks found. Is this common with the x-pipe since we have 2 convertors instead of 6?? I have had exhaust leaks before, and this is slightly different...

    Mac Prochamber w/cats ? Please Help

    I had my UPR catted x-pipe put on today, and it was waaaaaaaaaaaay loud. I put the silencers in from bassani to soften the noise. The main problem was a strong resononce in the cabin at 2000rpm that vibrates the hell out of the inside of the car!!!!! Totally different and meaner sound though!

    Rear end noise from 35-55 MPH, sounds like a bad tire but I know its not.

    I had the same problem with my 96 GT. I had the rear diff. bearings ALL changed, and they also did rear wheel bearings . Got car back quiet and smooth with no noise. SOunds like you have rear diff issues, and not to rule out a wheel bearing either.....

    great deals upr x-pipe til 31st

    yep, it was alluminized to my knowledge...... But half the price of stainless. Should still last 2-4 years at least. Look at the factory exhaust on my 96, alluminum mufflers and midpipe still fine, no holes 10 years later??? I thought 260 delivered for a catted pipe which should sound smooth and...

    torque from pullies?????????

    Hey, I did pullies a few mustangs ago on a pre 99 like I have now being a 1996 model. I remember the car pulling much harder off the line. Would it be accurate to say HP is negligible, but torque might be 5-10 ft/lbs???? Has anyone had problems with the Steeda brand pullies. Are there any gains...

    great deals upr x-pipe til 31st

    Hey, just wanted to mention UPR has 20% off all x-pipes until Dec.31st. I got the catted pipe for a 96GT delivered for $260 which is a great deal. A guy mentioned the coupon code in the UPR vs. Pypes thread......

    cure for throttle body whistle?

    I had the same thing.....its a rough spot somewhere in the machining process. The high air flow velocity causes the whistle when hitting the rough edge. I sent mine back to accufab for a new updated one. The late model accufab are quiet. Any other older ones can possibly whistle and sound like...

    good deal or not???

    I came across a 1995 GT today automatic trans. unfortuneately. Car has 105000 miles new brakes rotors and calipers. Gutted cats for a strange sound, welded in flows, nice grey leather interior. Sounds different than my 4.6 does, hear more cam, why???? Want 4500 plus tax for the car. The overall...

    UPR or PYPES brand catted X-pipe????

    Anyone tried a UPR or Pypes brand X pipe?????? Havent seen too many posts on either one of these. Both appear about the same in looks and are alluminized. I have a bassani cat back, and want a catted midpipe. Pypes cost about $225 with cats vs. Bassani about $400 or so delivered????

    superchips 1725 tuner results

    I can only get 93 octane in Louisville Kentucky. I also felt a very big gain in torque. The main difference to me is from 3500-5500 RPM in the off the line punch. Even as an auto, the car spins all the way to redline in first. Sounds ultra cool with the top down and the bassani winding up and...

    superchips 1725 tuner results

    I have a 96 GT auto, and just did the performance tune and went back and set the shifts to full hard. I was actually very impressed. The car pulled much better from 3500-5500 RPM, and spun tires hard off the line, and goes a little sideways into second even. Only other mods are bassani cat back...

    bassani installed today

    Well, its about three times as loud as stock, but a good loud. Just meaner with no resonating in the cabin. When you let off the gas, the sound goes away immediately....kinda cool. You will love the new sound compared to anything you have had before....thus $700 retail for these. I paid 350...
