    SLP Loudmouths (axle back) and Emissions (N. Carolina)

    I posted this before I went to the shop and they had not given me the details exactly over the phone yet. It ended up being the emissions because they couldn't use a "sniffer" anymore. I'm just going to take it to another place and see if they will slide it through. It's pretty ridiculous to...

    SLP Loudmouths (axle back) and Emissions (N. Carolina)

    LoL, I should try that. I just hate having to swap like that, although it is only once a year. Oh well, thanks for the heads up!

    SLP Loudmouths (axle back) and Emissions (N. Carolina)

    That's weird. That must be why they failed them. Is there any way around that besides replacing them with the old mufflers? I'm just a little mad because I thought these were going to be A-OK and now they aren't. Arrrgh.

    SLP Loudmouths (axle back) and Emissions (N. Carolina)

    Anyone have problems passing emissions tests in NC that have SLP's or any other axle back type exhausts? Thanks.

    05' GT wheel trade....Michigan

    I could have had the exact car I wanted minus the Bullitts about a month ago. I know how he feels. Waiting has been hard, but I love the Bullitt style rims, and they aren't even the upgrade! Good luck in your search. I'm sure somebody will have what you are looking for.

    CNN's Fuzzy Dice Awards 1st Annual... ran across this... did u see it ??

    They are using the upgrade wheels on the GT models. Huh? Those aren't even spinners for gosh sakes. And why use the Mustang? Use those freakin' boats that you always see these guys driving with ugly a$$ spinners, aka the Escalades, Suburbans, and Excursions. All nice vehicles that end up...

    Just got my christmas present

    I have one question. Why didn't you get the type of interior you wanted? Did Ford drop the ball or was it the dealer's flub-up? Just curious why you didn't get exactly what you had ordered. It's the principle of it in my opinion.

    HOW LONG MUST WE WAIT ?? FROM ORDER TO ARRIVAL ?? ANYONE WAITING LONGER THAN THIS ??

    Ordered mine on 11/6/04, and nothing yet either. I called the guy that sold me the car twice in November (two weeks after I ordered, and then a few days later) and both times he said the same thing ,"Nothing yet man, I'll let you know ANYTHING when I hear it from Ford." So basically after that...

    Can you put together a better stereo for $600 or less?

    BlackArtemis knows his stuff. Plus, just about any Alpine system is going to be worth every dollar you spend on it. I've had the same Alpine head unit in the car I have now for 7 years and haven't had one solitary problem with it. I did order the Shaker 1000, and that was before I read...

    Is Windveil Blue a feminine color?

    Stating beforehand that I am a male, the windveil blue was actually a choice of mine before I saw it in person. Although, in my opinion, windveil blue is a nice color, I chose the mineral grey instead. I never once thought WB was gay looking. That color blue looked really retro to me and not...

    Import Guy Considers Defection!

    bodizafa, I know exactly how you feel on this. Right now I'm driving a '95 Integra GS-R, and while it's nowhere near the car that the RSX is, I can wholeheartedly, without a doubt tell you that the '05 Mustang is something special. It wowed me so much that I ordered one at the start of...

    Blending old with new

    Personally speaking project, I liked the Team3 wheels that z3r linked to. Just an opinion of course, but I think they definitely have that old school, yet not-so-rugged look. They have a nice medium to them.

    MINERAL GREY QUESTION???????

    Also ordered a mineral grey Mustang GT and I love the color. These are the best pictures I've seen of that color so far. I'm sure Acadian on Brad's site won't mind me showing his toy off for him. :-) http://forums.bradbarnett.net/uploads/post-21-1100474825.jpg...

    SHAKER 1000 OR SHAKER 500?????

    I'm into rock, jazz, and a little bit of big band music. I'm not old either, lol. At least I don't think 26 is that old. I just like an array of genres in the music world. However, I still ordered my Mustang GT with the 1000. I've heard both and I absolutely loved the 1000 over the 500...

    Question about ordering '05 Mustang

    Thanks Mike. I haven't heard a peep after ordering the car and I'm itching to at least get a VIN# or just about ANY information from them about its production. Thanks again for detailing what you've experienced so far.

    Question about ordering '05 Mustang

    Ok, it's been a little over two weeks since I've ordered my Mustang GT and I haven't heard anything from the dealer about a VIN# or anything new about the car. Should I give the dealership a call tomorrow and see what's up, or is this too soon? What have some you of done or are some of you...

    Checking your credit to order an 05?

    I had to deposit 1000 buckaroos and let them check my credit before I could order the GT I was looking at. Although I didn't really mind it being that much, it's still a thousand dollars I won't see in action until the car arrives. :p

    Shaker 500 vs Shaker 1000

    Thanks for the link sonicblue. I noticed that they are somehow affiliated with Boston Acoustic, and if you've ever heard a nice set of those babies being pumped by 300+ watts then you'll be happy with either the 500 or the 1000. Had a '72 Monte Carlo (sorry dieharders, :D ) and got 6x9...

    Shaker 500 vs Shaker 1000

    When I bought (at least I ordered one, I wish I had it :nonono:) my GT a few days ago the salesman told me it was very much like the Mach system. I asked a friend of mine who has heard the two pretty much side by side (the Shaker 500 and the 1000) the next day and there was no contest, the 1000...
