What did you do to your EU S550 Mustang Today

[papinist]

I'll use foam brushes.

I did not found them at my local hardware store.. but I bought a bunch of brushes

I'm thinking about having calipers painted too, but with yellow

What do you think?

yellow is nice with some colors! In DIY section there is a black mustang with green calipers, also very nice!

Yeah I underestimated it.. it tooks a lot of works. Moreover, you need to let it dry 24 hours so that weekend car was stopped from fri to sun.
I have now almost 12.000 km!
But probably I save on money if I pay for some parts and keep my car stopped without burning our high-taxation fuel...

Steeda clutch spring assist
from Steeda.co.uk 11,75 GBP (+12 GBP shipping!! )
a softer spring that allows a better clutch engage control. It's a 10-minute mod and worths the price (without shipping...)
(tip: if you plan to order something from US with Stackry, get this from Steeda US for 15 USD and save those crazy shipping costs from UK)

I have received mine today, didn't know it was so big Still don't have the car but if everyone changing it it will be good

 

[papinist]

you shound replace it after some thousands of kms... so you will notice the difference
Also be sure to have a channel lock\grip lock pliers: will make the difference from a 1-hour hard job to a 5-minutes easy job!

A whole different car.


That's my Mustang after today's mod: Magnaflow Street cat-back exhaust

My good friend Stecca is a mechanic so I carried all parts to his garage today

Installation took us about an hour, most of the time trying to align the tips in the rear valance

And the result:

Tips are still a bit misaligned, on the left it is a bit lower but hey, you won't notice if I haven't tell you and after all we can't do better than this!
But the most important thing, the one that convinced me to buy it: THE SOUND!

Well, it's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

Really amazing. Deep, deeep, deeeep tone when starting and idle, not too loud when driving fast (but louder than before), and some gurgling and 'banging' when revving wow!
No way you can think it's a stock exhaust.. hope that cops won't care about that, like the don't care about my other mods! addle:

Unfortunately my Nexus 5 has some issues with audio recording in videos, so no proof of that for now. Tomorrow I'll grab my mom's Nexus 5X and try to record the combination Magnaflow Street + MMR CAI :clap2:

A huge THANK YOU to RicambiAmericani.com, the italian reseller where I bought this beauty, for the fast shipping :clap2: and all of you guys that convinced me to change the exhaust

:cheers:

Nice one Stefano, impatient to hear it on your videos :cheers:

 

[papinist]

Just did an 1-hour drive around my place with a friend. Amazing sound, even if to be honest, the 'wooshhhhh' from the CAI is a bit 'oppressive' on the exhaust sound. Don't get me wrong, it's cool, but you can't hear the magnaflow completely because the moment you pass 2k rpm the turbo pops in

gratz Papinist! the police will not care about it! they maybe just stop you to check the car and take some selfies

 

[papinist]

Until now police stopped me only one time (in 10 months) and they didn't care at all about the car. I thought they would said something like "cool car", but.. nothing! :shrug:

Meanwhile, my fuel consumption dropped from 11,4 km\l to 10,4 km\l in only 12 hours

 

[John577]

Police stopped me also one time until now, they took the car papers and explained to me :

"well, that's a lot of money for this little piece of paper, wasn't it ? (with a big smile)"

Then I could continue my way :lol:

you have friendly cops, aren't they?

A chance, that happened in the north east of france during a family trip and yes, the policeman was very friendly. If that happens in my area, I'd have to put the OEM exhaust back...

And I think, it was the first time he saw this car (for that he stopped me :headbonk
