    Midpipe dilemna

    You can get the MIL eliminators online anywhere for around $30; I had the prochamber and didn't like it that much for sound. I have a Bassani off-road X-pipe that sounds sick. This is of course preference...

    A/C PROBLEM

    Not necessarily related to your problem but I feel like it's good FYI-- I just went through some AC hell on my 03 Term; I got the "can" of R134a and filled my system just to make sure I had some oil in it after changing a bad compressor out myself. I couldn't get it to fill enough so that the...

    Will low voltage cause problems?

    OK guys, here is the deal. I am going to man up and admit my mistake here. Turns out at the same time I had the alternator problem, the "noise" I was hearing was actually a loose mid pipe! That was the noise and loss of power I was experiencing. It was only hanging on by one nut. So since the...

    Will low voltage cause problems?

    OK guys here is the update, got the alternator in and dispite the fact that it is working I still have the noise. I don't think it is coming from the motor, but then again it is hard to isolate. I think I will have to take it to a shop :nonono: It almost sounds like the time I blew my clutch on...

    Will low voltage cause problems?

    Thanks UM and the rest of you guys for the response; I have not replaced the original alternator yet that went bad, it is still sitting in the car. Someone else at work suggested it could be a loose bearing from the bad alternator making the noise - I hope that is what it is. I haven't bothered...

    Will low voltage cause problems?

    So I really need some help here. I was driving my 03 Cobra into work yesterday morning and I felt like something wasn't right with the car. Half way to work - when I would give it gas at highway speed - it would bog out almost like the traction control was kicking in. As soon as I got off the...

    X Pipe or H Pipe

    I put a MAC catback on my 98GT with no issues. Maybe because no IRS? I had BBK ceramic long tubes, off road H pipe, and the MAC C/B - it sounded ridiculous! I got compliments on the sound where ever I went, the long tubes were a bitch to put in :nonono: (not that I'm telling you Modular folks...

    REALLY... how ANAL are we!!!

    Sure it does; I have a all black '03. You're just going to use a lot of filters. The filter lasts about 3 car washes and the filters are $4.50 at Walmart / Target. My gripe with black is the freaking swirl marks!:bang: I can get the car detailed and they are back within 3 car washes - it...

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    Sorry man, I really thought that was a Home Depot special:shrug: . It is the stock MAF as far as I know and it is the stock pipe, see attached PICS. Suggestions? ftp://24.26.117.104/cai%20pics

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    :lol: After looking at that picture I feel better about mine! It's just not that pretty shiny chrome is all. Kinda looks like a pipe off of a swing set. I am sure the FIPK will look better! I hope that thing wasn't on your car? :rolleyes:

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    Nice to know I am in good hands down here :nice: I am potentially considering a new job offer in San Dieago, CA. So I may have to buy a programmer after all. I have to upgrade some stuff before I do the pulleys (brakes, CAI - current one is upgraded but it looks like a "home grown"...

    A/C Clunk

    I'd like to offer one other theory; on my "other" mustang the AC clutch bearing was slowing going out and it had similar symptoms. It finally shattered and I replaced it. One other possibility is that you have some "goop" on the clutch assembly preventing smooth operation. Maybe you hit a thick...

    03 Terminator heads

    Ahh, well I'm over it for the most part. The kid I was dealing with on the phone sounded like a young kid, so I think he had other things on his mind. Plus it was the day before Thanksgiving - he just made a commitment by email it was gonna happen. It just pisses me off when people make empty...

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    The place is called Coastal Chassis Dyno, I put a link to their web site below. They seem to know what they are talking about; I've heard they are good from other Stangers around town. The tune doesn't come with the predator module so I may pass on the Predator; I saw one on ebay that sold for...

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    Yeah I have the MIL eliminators coming with the pipe. Funny you say loud; I traded my red 98 GT for the snake but not before I put like $3K into it. I had full exhaust (MAC Long tubes, off road H, and MAC Cat back) man it was loud :eek: but I freakin loved it, great sound! The Cobra is too...

    03 Terminator heads

    Thanks UM. I'll try the Ford dealer this week. BTW don't order anything from Treperformance; they sent me an email promising me they were sending out my mid-pipe last Wednesday; needless to say it shipped yesterday:bang: I was looking forward to installing it Friday night. So much for that...

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    Sweet :hail2: I will pick up some of the other trinkets as well. Somethng else to just throw out there; I pinged the local Stang shop here in Tampa and asked them for advise on the best mid-pipe. Their claim is that every one locally is using a off road MAC pro-chamber - mine is due to arrive...

    03 Terminator heads

    Thanks UM for the quick response; I just bought a Fusion (for the wife) and the sales guy was willing ride a unicycle and juggle for the sale. I guess I'll test his commitment :lol: Anyway I am just learning the lingo in the forum what is an SSM and where can I view it? :shrug:

    How is the Steeda Triax? I have trouble with 3rd :nonono:, they advertise "never miss third again", any feedback?

    03 Terminator heads

    Hey UM, I am just curious. Did you get your head replaced by Ford for free under warranty? My Terminator only has 24000 on it but it is past the 3yr/36000. It has the "tick", I am guessing I am screwed?
