    Aftermarket exhaust options

    I’ve had a few SN-95 New Edge Mustangs, and like the ones before that people either installed a catback exhaust system or a midpipe (with or without cats), or both. I just bought a 2017 GT Premium that is completely stock. What’s everyone doing on these S-550s? Replace the “midpipe” with one...

    OEM Wheels/Tires questions - 2017 GT

    I’m not sure if these would be considered 5 spoke? There are 5 ‘split’ spokes. The Black Accent package has specific wheels.

    OEM Wheels/Tires questions - 2017 GT

    I recently bought a White 2017 GT Premium with the Black Accent Package - a great combo IMO. Couple of questions about the wheels and tires that were originally installed with this package. Are the wheels 19 X 9 or 9.5? (I’m assuming they aren’t staggered sizes.) Are the OEM tires 275/40-19...

    Out with the old, in with the new

    I wish they televised more SCCA races, and NASA (I am assuming AIX is American Iron ...something X? :shrug: )

    Out with the old, in with the new

    Beautiful ride! What year is yours? Honestly I’m having to catch-up to to the crowd because admittedly I just don’t know a whole lot about the S550s. Hell, I don’t know much about the 197s either :shrug:. I know quite a bit about everything from 1965-2004 (except for the Mustang II). My...

    Exhaust cut outs

    Are you thinking of the Ford OEM setup, or an aftermarket kit? I honestly have no idea how the OEM setup is configured but I could imagine it would be difficult to install into a car that doesn’t have the provisions for it, although I could be completely wrong! Plus the OEM kit isn’t actually...

    Out with the old, in with the new

    Hey folks, it’s been a while since I’ve been out here (save for a post a month or two ago it had been several years!). I just traded in my once beloved 2004 Mach 1 and purchased a low miles, like new 2017 GT Premium. It’s Arctic White with the Black Accent package and I absolutely love it. My...

    Drivetrain Is it another bad throw out bearing?

    I have a 2004 Mach 1 and after having a new clutch kit installed the TOB was squealing, so the shop that did the work (a highly reputable Mustang shop) bought and installed a Ford TOB. Same problem. It doesn’t do it (chirp) at idle and doesn’t do it immediately when it’s cold, but after...

    Suspension Dead Spot In Center Of Steering And Koni Adjustment Issue

    I tossed around buying Bilsteins vs. Koni adjustables (and now I wonder if I made a wise choice)...I'm happy with the Konis (except I am still unable to adjust the driver's side strut)...it's going back into the shop again tomorrow. :nonono: I tried to fix it myself. I had a 13 mm socket on the...

    Suspension Dead Spot In Center Of Steering And Koni Adjustment Issue

    Hey thanks Dark04GT, that info from MM is much appreciated. The shop now states it needs a new rack. I did just notice that it's leaking a little bit, but I still wonder why this dead spot issue only appeared after these new parts were installed? (I don't like coincidences.) Also since the...

    Spectre #9923 Air Intake Kit For 2002 Mustang Gt

    I'm in the same boat as my STB and K&N CAI don't fit together, but I've opted to keep the CAI and remove the STB. Anyone in the Tampa Bay area interested in the STB? It's off of my 04 Mach 1, so I'm assuming it'll fit 99-04, but I'm not 100% sure. The price is right.

    Suspension Dead Spot In Center Of Steering And Koni Adjustment Issue

    Rag joint is fine. As I mentioned everything was fine until these new parts were installed, so I'm making a pretty solid assumption that the issue is being caused by the installation of the new parts.

    Spectre #9923 Air Intake Kit For 2002 Mustang Gt

    I like the K&N FIPK as it's plastic (which doesn't retain heat very well) and the fit is excellent.

    Suspension Dead Spot In Center Of Steering And Koni Adjustment Issue

    The fact that the issue started immediately after I had the struts, shocks, poly control arm bushings, end links, Steeda X2 ball joints and Steeda bumpsteer kit leads me to believe it's not the rag joint, but rather something with the new parts, how they were installed, the alignment, etc.

    Suspension Dead Spot In Center Of Steering And Koni Adjustment Issue

    It''s going back to the garage on Wednesday for a new (replacement) strut and for them to look at the suspension to find the reason for the dead spot. Toe angle was something I was thinking about too...it drives straight (with hands off) and otherwise feels fine.

    Suspension Dead Spot In Center Of Steering And Koni Adjustment Issue

    Sorry for the confusion - It's loose at the center. ("if installed incorrectly") - that's my concern - are there any particular steps in the install that are often screwed up? Or are there things to watch out for? Reading over the install PDF on their website the Basic Installation seems...

    Abs And Trac Off Lights

    Yeah most auto parts stores will pull the codes for you. I'd bet it's a bad pickup/sensor. Have you checked your tire air pressure lately? A tire with very low pressure can also cause the ABS/TC system to throw an error.

    2003 Mach 1 Short Throw Shifter / Recarrow Leather Seats

    A short throw shifter will make a huge improvement - Hurst is good, but there's also the Steeda Tri-Ax, Pro 5.0, and most people love (but I've never had one) the MGW shifter. Good seats can be pricy (I like the Cobra brand myself, but they are really expensive)...I'm not too impressed with the...
