Hey, Zinc... I actually got into this convo with one of the guys at (the dreaded) Midas, and we were looking under the car when it was on the lift, but got sidetracked and never finished the discussion - do you happen to know, does the 2004 V6 have a solid rear axle, or an independent one...

I recently added a dual take-off GT exhaust to mine, and notice a definite HP jump, especially when the temperature is over 40 degrees or so. I had a lag off the line into first gear (manual), and since my exhaust work that lag is gone, as well as the the fact that the car feels even peppier...

I just went through this, with the help of some of the members on this site: The "take off" means that the exhaust system has been "taken off" a GT car. Everything behind the cats: front pipe, mufflers and rear/tail pipes. If you go with a straight swap, changing your single exhaust to a true...

Anyone with a white car notice their molded plastic rockers and fake air dams on the sides fading and turning a little off-white as opposed to the rest of the car? Suggestions to keep them bright? My car is a 2004, bought new (leftover) in 2005. Thanks. -Lynn.

My planned springtime mods: Well... we already know I got the exhaust done, lmao, right Zinc? :D Other things on my list? I have a few moderate appearance mods, nothing too crazy, but I think it'll look nice and personalized in the end, which is all I'm really looking for: - OEM Mach 1...

I will have to see if I can get it up on a lift somewhere to snap a few pictures. I'm certainly not bringing it back to the place that installed it, that's for sure, lol. -Lynn.

I guess in the end, everything is all right, but boy what a mess, huh? Thanks for all your help and great advice in my quest to do this exhaust. And zincyellow03, seriously, thank you for your concern. It's really good to know I can come here and be welcome in a mostly male-only crowd and...

No, not my fault, their fault, we already established that. (and technically, $255.00 + PA state sales tax, so a total of $270.30) And I get everything that you're saying. I do. Honestly. And you are 100% correct. But I am trying to just let it go at this point because I got an excellent job and...

I refer to him in this thread as "friend" only because I'm talking about two different people here, and the one guy, the tech, is the guy I know. But no, no longer a friend, that's for sure. He was negligent in the fact that he just walked in to work and started working, before asking anyone...

zincyellow03, you are correct, yes, however, let me clarify a few things: Yes, they did the work without my permission, as I was supposed to either make the decision on what to do or take my car home (and at the time I was planning on taking the car and all my parts home), so I am DEFINITELY...

It was worth the wait. This car is so much fun, I don't think it would be near as great in an automatic. -Lynn.

Manual, baby. Took me literally a month to find a V6 in a manual when I was ready to buy, but I refuse to own a MUSTANG that's an automatic! For shame! :)

I'm the only one that's allowed to eat or drink anything in my Stang, and nobody's allowed to smoke. Ever. I stop every morning to get a coffee at the convenience store, put it in the front drink holder, and every once in a while some spills out of the lid and into the holder, or drips down the...

I just, as of yesterday, had a dual exhaust installed on my 2004 3.9L V-6, and it sounds great. Maybe not loud enough for some, but I think it's going to be fine for me. Through help from some of the members here, I decided on purchasing a "take-off GT exhaust", which is a complete exhaust...

The Verdict... So I went and got my car yesterday. They still had it on the lift so I could see, which was what I asked. I looked, I noticed where the custom-fabbed H-pipe had been cut out and capped and welded - is that acceptable? I've asked two other people and they seem to think this is...

I signed nothing. And I left the car there because, again, I knew these guys, and trusted them. My mistake, apparently. I feel so very awkward right now. This has turned into a fiasco. Will update later when I get home, after I look at the botch job under my car and have it out with them.

I'm just flabbergasted right now. I was actually calling around to find a smaller place to bring it to, friends or no, but look up thread to see what happened >_<. So much for "knowing someone," if they're still going to pull the same BS. And still the guy maintains that he has spent over 4...

This is what I wanted. I even printed out the images and directions off that website you gave me the link to. HOW HARD could it be? It looked very straight forward. But now this is going from bad to worse. I should never have let them keep my car to "look at it". They kept it, and I was to...

Yeah, I think these guys get one chance to meet me in the middle, and if not, I take my stuff and find another shop. Love your sig. I think mine's becoming a money-pit as well, but it's fun! I've never had a car worth customizing before, so this is great. :D -Lynn.

I think everyone assumes they're trying to take advantage because I'm a woman, but I disagree. I know the guys at this shop. When I mentioned being referred to the one mechanic there, it's because he was my ex'es best work mate while HE worked there. He and I have BOTH talked to him about...
