I haven't used Dynamat superlite so I'm not sure about the weight on that. Don't get me wrong, Dynamat is a good product. Great for sound, keeping out heat, helps with rattles.
I've just seen a lot of posts about problems with the MT82 and it makes me a little nervous. Nobody wants to spend 40K and step into immediate problems. Not to mention I'm going to track the hell out of this car and I want it to hold up.
I've always let my 05 warm up before hard shifts and...
I'm saving for a 2015 or a 2016 and after seeing all these problems with the Chinese MT82 I'm getting worried that after all the saving and waiting I'll just end up with problems. Makes me wonder if I should keep my 05. Why can't Ford just put a Tremec Magnum XL in it and call it a day. I...
How will these change suspension geometry? On my S197 I had to use the X5 ball joints to get the camber curve corrected from lowering. Then rear control arm relocation brackets to regain traction. The stock shocks just weren't enough for the higher spring rates so then came koni shocks and...
How is the rear bar adjustable? It looks like there is only one endlink mounting hole on each side.
Also, why do you have to take off the driver side strut to install? On my 05 I just dropped the old one down from the bottom.
In my experience this means it will drone. Every exhaust I tried on my 05 such as Bassani, Magnaflow Magnapacks, and SLP all said that they didn't drone but drone is subjective. When you are crusing from about 1800 to 2200 RPM it either makes a low annoying hum or it doesn't.
I haven't had...
Sounds great. A couple questions.
Is the exhaust 2.5" until after the H? What is the benefit of having a 3" pipe if there is still stock 2.5" pipe before it?
Same questions as above about weight, drone, and HP.
Congratulations and thank you for your service!
Can you take a picture of the doorsill? I want to see if the base comes with the aluminum plate in the middle?
Congratulations!
I'd like to see some more pics too. Can you post a few of the recaros and doorsills. Also, can you change the color of the gauges and how is the plastic on the upper doors? Do the upper door panels have softtouch or is it really hard plastic?
My benchmark is my 05 GT. Suspension wise it has steeda springs, bars, shocks, camber plates, and balljoints. With the exhaust, intake, UD pulleys, and tune it put down 300 rwhp and 310 rwtq. With 3.73 gears I still get about 32-33 hwy mpg.
It all comes down to a test drive. Since the mpg...
Is anyone concerned that this exhaust might drone. On my 05 GT I went through 4 different sets of mufflers before I found a combination that didn't make my head want to explode at highway speed in 5th gear. It this still a problem with exhausts on the 5.0?
