What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[HISSMAN]

I honestly think my tab just stretched a bit, now that I think about it. It is hard to say for sure though, as I immediately threw the tube into the dumpster.

It honestly made it harder for me. I guess I'm used to blipping and feathering the gas as you let out the clutch to prevent roll backs on hills. With the hill assist, it was causing me to almost stall out. I just didn't find it helpful at all.

I have the same problem with it. It does work great on inclines, but I have to remember that it holds the car, then adjust my releasing the clutch.

Stupid question: What is the sound tube or what is its purpose?

 

[robertwsimpson]

The sound tube is a plastic piece that goes from the intake to the firewall. It is supposed to carry some cool engine noise into the cabin so that you get more sound while you're driving.

A small tube from the intake to the firewall. Pipes in induction noise from the engine into the cabin. Works pretty well. People are removing it because they went with an aftermarket intake, think it looks ugly under the hood or are against "enhanced" sound.

For those of you that removed the sound tube. Did you notice any difference in sound at all? I rode in a friends GT without the sound tube and I couldnt tell.

Not an answer to your questions BUT I feel like I hear noise from my soundtube constantly, just a slight quiet sound - hard to describe, almost like a whistling type noise. I imagine it would go away if I were to take it out.

Slapped the 19" PP wheels on my GT. Sorry for the sucky pic.

Finally got around to installing my FRPP oil separator. I like the OEM look of it.

Nice! Been thinking about getting one myself. Does it mount anywhere or is it just kinda free floating where it is? How do you empty anyways? Unsbolt the top cover and siphon out the oil?

First time hitting a curb in the S550 today. Nothing happened thanks to the 50 series tires

Installed squeaky, dusty G-LOC R12/R10 track pads on my S550' and managed to put a $833 gouge in my hood from closing the garage door with the hood open. Doh!

Today I added the Steeda Progressive springs & the rear subframe alignment kit. I am now done for this year.

It's not free floating. The bracket on the separator is attached to the valve cover by two push pins. Emptying it is the only drawback of this separator. Ford says to remove it and tilt it, to empty oil out from the lower fitting. But when the time comes, I'll remove the lid and empty it out with a turkey baster or syringe.

I did the delete to get rid of the clutter and the bonus of saving a little weight. I unbolted it because I didn't want to be the guy who posted they ripped it off but it snagged on a fuel line or harness or ???? and tore that up as I fell and broke my ass.

I was very happy that eliminating the sound tube also eliminated sounds that I did NOT like. Of course I had no idea if those sounds were related to the sound tube or not until it was gone.

Since the sound tube is on the driver side of the cabin with the console, etc between it and a passenger, I wouldn't be surprised if a passenger didn't notice as much of a difference.

If someone want to see the effect it has on the sound without committing, all they would need to do is pop the end off the intake and stuff a rag in the hole or tape it up or ???? and go for a drive.

Don't stick a rag in the intake tube ... if it got sucked in you'd be FUBARed.

After I took my sound tube off it seemed like the stock exhaust sounded a little bit louder inside the car. Actually like the sound without the sound tube installed.
