Have lived with this for a week now and i'm still concerned. Will be taking it to an exhaust manufacturer to get the fit sorted. My local powerflow franchise actually has a good reputation. I will see what they think.
Retrospectively the wait was actually really quite fun. Supported by a the good folks on this forum. The worst part was knowing it was built and spending around 4 weeks at Baltimore Docks. The shipping live tracking and U.S based ford order tracking system actually helped keep me sane...
Cheers guys, i will get under there this weekend and see if i can give the clamps bit bit more encouragement. I have the original back boxes so can assess how long the remaning down pipe was left, will see if what has been left was possibly a bit short. Apart from that, the noise from these is...
Cheers Adrian, i can actually feel exhaust gasses blowing slightly and water/condensation leakage, i cannot hear any peculiar blowing noises and the noise the silencers make is awesome, i'm just wondering if i'm making a big deal out of a small issue.
I had a set of Roush Axle backs fitted last weekend by my Local American car restoration specialist, i noticed when i picked it up that there was a small amount of leakage around the joins where the old exhast was cut off and new back boxes clamped on (both sides).
I spoke to them about this and...
I am genuinely surprised the amount of attention it gets. Everywhere I park if I don't run away from it then someone wants to talk to you about it. Passengers in cars pointing their phones at it while driving, petrol stations are just hilarious. There is a lot of genuine love from the public...
Totally agree with the reasoning. I feel this is one of the last times you will be able to buy a manual v8 in what could be considered an old school format. Rwd/normally aspirated/petrol only. I'm sure this type of thing will become niche in future and will have a suitably niche pricetag as...
To add to the the recent cars turning up, got to be my turn by now. Have only just found the time to post up my new Grabber Blue GT. Collected last Wednesday 21st Dec from Eastleigh Ford. Great job by those guys getting it all through and ready for an early Xmas present.
Firstly the colour...
Great stuff. Mine arrived at the dealer's in Eastleigh around weds so approx 5 days from landing in UK to dealer's forecourt. I also am visiting today for the first time, collecting on Wednesday, I have told Eastleigh ford not to put plate holders on, based on other people's experiences I'm 50%...
Looks Epic. I used your eBay link in the end and and also bought a gt350 track pack spoiler. I'm visiting mine for the first time today at the dealer's. The tension is building, need to get some Roush axle backs on order.
awesome news today, Dealer e-mailed me to confirm my car registration number and collection date, and also the free 7 day diveaway insurance pack, car will be available for colelction from Wednesday. Early Xmas present, nice work Ford.
