    Exhaust 2006 Mustang GT in an Accident, need new muffler?

    I know there's tons of posts out there that I've read already but I'm only getting more confused. I've been pretty happy with the existing stock mufflers on my 2006 GT especially when I added the COI(I have a Air Rair COI kit and tune from Brenspeed as well). That being said the price I've...

    Anyone from Calgary, AB?? Know of a Good body shop?

    Thanks for the info, I checked Airdrie out, they look quite impressive but are booked up out the ying yang so I might need to look elsewhere if I want it done sooner than later.

    Anyone from Calgary, AB?? Know of a Good body shop?

    I just moved to Calgary and really don't know of any reputable auto body or paint shops. I need to replace my front bumper (someone decided to crack it in a parking lot - of course not leaving a note or anything). While I'm at it I'd like to get my hood repainted (I bought a Cervini hood and had...

    Error codes (p0420) - possibilities?

    I have a 2006 Mustang GT and as of late it’s been throwing codes (P0420 and P0430 - catalyst efficiency below threshold both bank 1 and 2). I had it into the dealer (since it was initially hard to cold start and would produce smoke), the dealer said it was due to my AFE Stage 2 intake and oil...

    Steeda wheel spacers, anyone have any experience with them?

    It never really occured to me to go for the staggered look when I got my rims and tires (255/35/20) a few years back but now that I'm looking for new summer rubber I've thought about a few options for both the appearance and to widen the stance of my car in the rear which I'm thinking should...

    Brake upgrades, suggestions on rotors?

    If I opt to go for the new Hawk pads and a set of powerslot rotos would you say that stainless steel/braided cables are something that I really should do, or would you guys suggest that I try out the new pads and rotors and then later on get the new lines or would it just be best do it all at...

    2006 Mustang GT cabin air filter?

    So quick question, do the 2006 Mustang GT's have a cabin air filter I thought that they did (and that they were under the cowl behind the battery) however when I went into the dealership to get it replaced I was told that my car didn't have one which I thought was odd. I went to a Partsource...

    Brake upgrades, suggestions on rotors?

    I just took a look at the SSBC website and the three piston kit for the front that is $1295 looks awesome and fits 17" rims except it says "will not fit factory 17" Bullitt wheels". I got really excited there.

    Brake upgrades, suggestions on rotors?

    Thanks, those are both good options I think - although I must be looking in the wrong places since I haven't come across any great deals on used GT500 kits nor Saleen kits (under $1000). Any suggestions on where I should be looking? Also my only concern is that if I'm not mistaken for either...

    Brake upgrades, suggestions on rotors?

    I am looking at upgrading my brakes, right now on my '06 GT the brakes are stock and have been decent for everyday purposes however I really noticed their shortcomings this past weekend when I took it out to a road course and was able to put them to the test. Along with brake fade I also...

    AFE Stage II intake without cover?

    I was cleaning my filter yesterday and as such had to take off the aluminum cover and then was thinking that since I have the Cervini hood with the vents (similar like the concept GT500) which happens to be right over top of the intake. The only concern I have is with water hitting the filter...

    Big Brake Kit (that fits 17" factory Bullitt's)?

    Hey guys (and gals), I've been thinking about upgrading my brakes, at first I was going to just do the rotors, lines and pads (and repaint my calipers or check out the caliper covers from MGP) but when I add up all the coin that I'd be spending I'm thinking it might be more advantageous for me...

    Changing tires, floor jack too high (anyone else find this)?

    Awesome thanks for all the feedback, just wondering what kind of low profile jacks you guys are using, how much do they cost by the way? Any suggestions on where I can get a set in Canada? Thanks again! Matt

    Changing tires, floor jack too high (anyone else find this)?

    So its pretty straightforward, since I put the Roush suspension kit on my car I'm having a lot of trouble getting my floor jack under the car to change the wheels etc. It just barely fits (I just got a new floor jack a few months ago and it used to work fine but now it's just a bit too high)...

    Anyone have LED bulbs for their backup lights?

    I've gota set of Eagle Eye LED tail lights but for some reason all of the bulbs are LED's except for the white backup/reverse light. I've heard some people tell me that the LED's are not bright enough, while others say the LED's are too directional and don't allow you to see much around you...

    2010 Mustang Interior Baring All

    Looks good, although I did like the circular vents, oh well but the thing that bugs me is that it looks like they still haven't incorporated any controls on the steering wheel (be they audio or climate), but then again just because you can get them on pretty much every other Ford vehicle (and...

    Replacing 8" door "woofers" (Probably been talked about before, but not recently)

    Sorry I should have been more specific blbrchnk, I should have said that I would have to replace the factory amp to power the new sub should decide to replace the one in each door. Does anyone else have any suggestions of a great sounding, stock looking setup? I like the idea of having the 8"...

    Replacing 8" door "woofers" (Probably been talked about before, but not recently)

    Hey everyone, Hope everyone had a good labour day long weekend. Although I think the Shaker 500 isn't a bad system at all, I've been thinking about how to improve upon it. I've already replaced the head unit with an AVIC-D3 which I found not only helped overall sound quality but also gave me...

    Got my Cervini Heat Extractor put on :-) but why are the vents covered?

    I was reading through a set of pdf instructions I found online, turns out that they call these "drip pans" basically it looks like to collect water when it rains etc, but is that necessary? The GT500 has vents that vent right into the engine right and no issues that I know of there. Also the...
