    '05 Mustang GT

    I've got a bad feeling that the other two domestic companies are going to put out a contender in the near future that will push close to 400 hp. I think the SUV craze is dying and people are wanting to get back into cars with power. Reminds me of the mid 90's when minivans died down and...

    Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

    I'll offer up something different. Don't buy any new car. Recent college grad, probably making good money, why tie yourself down with car payments so soon. Save your money, invest your money. You say your current car is reliable, why not roll with that car for another 2 or 3 years. I see...

    Some install/maintenance/tech questions.

    Have any of you installed your own mid pipe using ramps? I did a dry run and it was not a comforting feeling being under that car much less with such little room. I think I need more reinforcements. Should I get Jack stands for this mission? What other safety precautions do you take...

    will catted x-pipe void my warranty

    easiest way to find out is to call the service manager. I talked to all the ford dealers in a 60 mile radius. My service manager told me that they have had problems with modded cars (chips in turbo diesels, underdrive pulleys, nitrous, etc). For instance, flowmaster mufflers would void...

    This is what I did. The dealer had an awful pinstripping kit put on. I peeled the edges up like a sticker and pulled most of it off. Then took some wd-40 and got all the residue off. Washed, polished, and waxed. The paint under the pinstripping wasn't damaged. Couldn't tell that...

    I've got the same car, 2004 black GT. I was in your position earlier this year. I went through all the options and checked them all out. I wanted the low rumble sound as well. I went in to the muffler shop and was about to get the magnaflows welded in but changed my mind and went with...
