    3V Spark plug change hell

    I purchased a set of the Champions and just got the shipping notice they will be here this Friday. Hated spending the money :notnice: , but didn't like the alternative of pulling the OE plugs every 15,000 miles and increasing the risk of stripping plug threads. Hoping performance and plug...

    2008 bringing us the Boss & the Bullitt

    Undoubtedly, CAFE requirements are affecting the number of these higher performance special editions planned. The Shelby GT is strapped with the Guzzler tax and its mileage is pretty close to the standard GT as I recall. Ford probably knows that if they manufacturered a much larger number of...

    shaker 1000 worth it ??

    I have the Shaker 1000. I am quite pleased with the sound. Yes, I'm sure that you could get higher quality aftermarket components for the money. I didn't want to mess with aftermarket installation by myself or a professional installer. I think the convience was a big factor for me. Also...

    Trunk Pictures of Shaker 1000?

    The amp rack is tucked behing the sub enclosure. There are 2 amps (4 total)on each side of the rack (apparently each of the 2 sub drivers has 2 amps in a bridged configuration driving it). The amp rack/sub enclosure assembly is really a nice tight package in the corner of the trunk. I am...

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    I haven't been overly impressed with the stock 'premium' Infinity systems that I have had in the past on my Dodge trucks. Based on positive reviews I had read on these Kappa's, I ordered a pair and decide to give them a whirl. My ears percieved that the stock rear speakers were a real dead...

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I would HIGHLY recommend replacing the rear 5 x 7 speakers. I replaced mine with a pair of Inifinity Kappa 682.7CF and the improvement was wonderful. System made a huge leaps in volume (Kappas were 2 ohm, paper cone speakers they replaced were 4 ohm)...

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    Try setting the speed sensitive volume setting on the head unit to 0. If the volume fades when you come to a stop , its probably this. 0 is off and 7 is the maximum.

    Anyone have the Shaker 1000 in their GT??

    I have the Shaker 1000. It was the only option that when I ordered I waffled a bit on due to the price. While overpriced, I have been extremely pleased with the option. In additon to the sub enclosure there is also a rack of 4 amplifiers mounted behind the sub enclosure. I would order...

    What did you pay for your 05??

    Bought my fully load '06 Torch Red GT at $200 over invoice from my dealership's fleet manager. Vehicle was delivered 5 weeks after early Aug. order date. I am exceptionally pleased on price, damn fast delivery time, and no games. It's worth it to really do your homework and shop around. I...

    Shaker 1000

    A couple of weeks ago I had to remove the trunk Shaker 1000 amps and speaker enclosure to install my spoiler. Didn't take pictures. Basically, behind the speaker enclosure was a set of amps on a steel mounting plate (2 amps each side I think). There was a cable assembly that originated from...

    Benefits of Independent Rear Suspension

    Pardon my ignorance on the subject, but what are the advantages of an independent rear suspension? In many reviews, the lack of an independent rear suspension on the 2005 Mustang is noted and it has me curious, particularly as a likely buyer within the next year. Thanks in advance.
