What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[kiksbutt]

I had a local shop install the Steeda H pipe today. The car sounds awesome and I am honestly amazed that it can be so loud and sound so good in track mode while at the same time remain so quiet in quiet mode.

How much the shop charge ya? Did they weld it?

Mine is coming in soon, can't wait.

My shop only charged me for an hour of labor. I just had them use the clamps that came with the h pipe from steeda. If the clamps start to leak I’ll have have it welded. You’re going to love the sound.

Just bought a new GT350 steering wheel and fitted a sequential tail light module as NZ/Australia spec cars tail lights are not sequential from the factory.

Had mine installed for a few months now. Very impressed with the sound. You are going to enjoy it more every day. Sounds even better on a cold start!

Yesterday:
Drove it twenty miles or so, started it up three times at return.
Don’t get much driving/charging these days. Tried to start it yesterday, got just a click. Connected the charger as I’ve done a few times previously, the backup lamp began flashing. Let it charge h for a couple hours, the charger told me it was 100% full but was six volt! Tried to start it, everything went dark. DARK. Not even a glimmer of odometer miles. Hooked up the charger again, its message was the same this morning: 100%, 6-V. Jumped it from the other car, started and ran fine, restarted three times.

Can a battery go so flat and still hold a charge? I expect to replace it anyway. Had my eye on the XS Power D4700 for quite a while. We’ll see.


The question was, "Can a battery go so flat and still hold a charge?" Not, "Do you have a good reason to restart it three times after a 20-mile drive?"

Answers are: "Don't know, yet"; and "Yes", respectively.

Just a thought, but could you have your battery charger set on 6 volt? I know some have volt selector switches on them. Could explain the 100% and only 6v, yet jumps and starts just fine. If your battery was so dead it wouldn't even charge beyond 6v I doubt it would even jump and restart.

Today I installed some Kooks.

So was it the pain in the butt I've heard? I've been toying with installing some myself but I'm just not itching for another pain in the rear day.

Went for a little errand and admired it.

Installed my X-Pipe today - couldn't have been easier.
I gave it a start up quickly after cutting out the resonator and ran it straight piped - I think that's the sound I like best!
After slipping into place and tightening everything up, I started it and have to say .... it's a lot quieter than I was expecting, not as Raspy as I was expecting but still sounds much better than stock. I think I'm going to have to do a set of cut-outs or some type of active exhaust system.
That will have to wait until I finish the lowering springs and IRS alignment and bushing support later this weekend or next.

I’ve installed Stainless works, attempted to install 2M fab long tubes(spoiler, didn’t fit), and these Kooks. The Kooks were the easiest to install for sure, but there are a few bolts used to replace the manifold studs that are very, very tough to access. Wrenching is a big part of my job and has been in my career, so I have lots of tools and experience to lean on. If you’re more DIY, maybe hold off. Took me about 6 hours in the garage on jackstands.

Installed foglight splitters. $27 on eBay. Link to part
Not too bad. Installs with screws and 3m tape. Very solid.

Had a Steeda h-pipe with resonator delete installed onto my car. It sounds amazing.
