    Recaro Seats

    I put Corbeau seats in my 2011 Mustang. They are owned by Recaro. $300-400 range for the seats and another $100-150 for specific brackets. Be prepared for airbag error codes if you use aftermarket seats. I disassembled a set of Mustang seats, got ALL the airbag stuff out of them and installed...

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    oil I must be the villiage idiot here. I did an oil and filter change at 100 miles, getting the initial break-in oil out of the engine. I put back the FORD recommended oil and filter. Did the same thing at 500 miles and again at 1000 miles. At 3000 miles, I changed over to full synthetic...

    Cool Sound Tube Trick

    Thanks Thanks Ron, I searched a boatload of places before I found the caps. I do wish the grommet for the firewall was just a little bit larger but some silicone (or some type of glue) works well to finish sealing the hole off. Best thing could happen... FORD leaves the thing off for us...

    How many Miles on your 5.0 when you picked it up?

    miles :D After reading the variety of posts, I figured I would add mine in there. The car had one (1) mile on it when I took it out for a test drive. Still had the plastic over the seats, paper in the floor, and a cover on the steering wheel. I drove it three (3) miles, returned to the...

    X Pipe or H Pipe for 2012 GT

    X or H :rolleyes:I'm probably older than I want to admit... so I like the muscle sound. Had an x-pipe on my 08 and never really got used to the sound. My new 5.0, however, has the new MRT H-pipe and sounds very much like the old Cobras and GT350's from when I was a kid. Agressive, not...

    Silky smooth MT82 shifting

    MT-82 I waited until 1,000 miles on the car before putting Royal Purple synthetic in the transmission. There is a service bulletin related to cold shifting. Also, I installed a Barton shifter in the car even before it left the dealer. I think the next step is a trans cooler which will add...
