    Any Concerns about Flowmaster American Thunder

    I had them on my 2011 5.0 for about a week. They drone so bad that I couldn't hear my kids in the back seat driving down the interstate. Anywhere between 1800-2200 rpms then it's unbelievable drone. I like the way they sounded as long as the rpms never got above 4000 or they sounded like a...

    X-Plan rules

    Try negotiating the price first, as soon as you mention the x plan then that is a set price and that's what they sell it for. If you're getting a GT then the x plan will save you between 3-4K, a V-6 will save you about 1800 to 2K all depending on options on the car. At least that's how it was...

    Who is using an oil catch can?

    Washed my car today and I checked my JLT oil catch can too. Had a little more than a tablespoon of oil in it after 300 miles. From what I understand, the harder you drive your car the more oil you'll end up with in the can. Personally, I think it's well worth $119 to keep that out of the...

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    Wow, all these people with SC's are getting better mileage than me. I have a full exhaust, cai and tune and average 16mpg and I rarely drive it hard - too many local police. I even reset it on the interstate with cruise set at 65mph and it only went to 25mpg....but already it's back down to...

    Who is using an oil catch can?

    this is why and definately go with the JLT, it's much nicer, uses factory fittings and comes pre-assembled, takes 2 minutes to snap it on

    project darkside?

    Not sure how true this is but somebody on another forum posted that after you return the tune back to stock then you can take it to Autozone and have them hook up their diagnostics machine to it and that would be the last thing Ford would be able to see. Again, maybe not true, but worth a try...

    modded 2011 5.0 against the new cad.

    My neighbor has that Caddy and we ran em a few times (we live out in the country) and I never came close to beating him. He steadily pulled away from me until my ego couldn't take it anymore, lol. Only thing I could say is, at least I paid 30K less!!! Seriously, that Caddy is sweeeet!!!

    project darkside?

    I got my ATAK's from the site below that has a video included. They were like $1366 shipped. It is about the most expensive exhaust but I'm so glad I got them. Not only are they excellent quality, sound awesome and fit perfect, but Borla has really good customer service and so does the site I...

    project darkside?

    I've got the Borla ATAK catbacks, JLT cai, and Bama Tunes. You won't be disappointed in those mods, especially with Bama's top notch customer service. They are very helpful any time I call them and will use them for everything from now on just because of that. As for the SC then I'm...

    Is a catback only good for HP improvement or mostly sound?

    I could feel a little bump in power after the Borla ATAK catbacks (with x-pipe). Like everyone else said, it's probably minimal but the exhaust sounds amazing and it's worth it for me.

    new owner of 2011 GT and need exhaust help

    I have the Borla ATAK catbacks with x-pipe and they're not as loud as you'd think. Actually, after you start the car and it idles down then you can't really hear the exhaust anymore and same with cruising. BUT, when you've got the RPM's over about 3K then they come to life and sound amazing...

    15 or Less MPG? Something Wrong?

    I've never gotten it above 19mpg and I've got 1300 miles on it, even going extremely easy on it for a whole tank of gas (that's when I got 19mpg). If you reset the average mpg while you're on the interstate then it'll go up. I also did an average on how much gas it took to fill up and how many...

    How much did you pay for your 2011 GT?

    If you can get a premium model for 28K then you better jump all over it. I got x-plan pricing with $1,750 in rebates and financed $35.1K. That was with 7 year bumper to bumper, no money down and 3.9% for 5 years.

    2010 GT axle back exhaust info/advice wanted...

    Corsa extremes sound really good too, a buddy has them on his 2010 and there is absolutely no drone whatsoever inside the car at any speed. They are quiet at idle and cruising but at WOT they are LOUD!!! Sounds really good, like an old muscle car.

    Just registered today, have a couple of questions

    The price you get from building it online is the same that'll come up when you build it at the dealership (at least mine was) so you could go first and try to haggle the price and see how low they'll go. If it's less than 3K then leave, go home and join the Mustang Club of America (MCA) and...
