Very impressive package, the customization level is really good to see. The first thing I thought was that the black accent on the air intake would look better in my opinion as a body color, and I see that you can configure that it many ways. I know manual's are going the way of the dodo, but I...
Went from the ear damaging, wake the dead exhaust combo that was on when I bought it a few weeks ago:
Stock exhaust manifolds / stock cats
Resonator delete, welded in H pipe
Welded in Flowmaster 40 mufflers
to:
Magnaflow 11386 resonated X pipe (Tru-X) for the resonator mid section to quiet...
I am so glad I have my new exhaust setup because my wife would have gotten a ticket with the other one. On the test drive, she was dipping into the power band all over the place, the salesman told her "wow, you opened it up way more than your husband". I knew I was going to have it thoroughly...
Update: loving this combo. Very cruise friendly, all drone is gone. I purposely dipped into the areas with the most drone on the other setup, just sounds deep, without any of the ear splitting resonance. Zero nails in a coffee can rasp, and I have taken it all the way through the rev range. It...
So this by no means is a major issue, more of a strange annoyance. My 2016 GT with the hood vent blinkers has an issue.
First off, all other blinkers and fog lights work as expected, only the driver hood vent blinker has an issue:
With the hood closed, the passenger side hood vent blinker...
I will third the opinion to keep the R, store the seats if staying stock, sell if not. I purposely passed on Recaros because they wouldn't work for me.
Awesome! Great to hear. I hear you on the stupid fast part, my last fast car war a 2009 WRX with a stage 1 tune (335 HP) and that was a fast car. The GT is "Yikes, we are WAAY over the speed limit already, slow down" fast.
Congrats man, great color! Same as you and same as Dark Pony, I was in the same boat but went with a 16 GT PP1, mainly due to purely subjective personal preference with regard to the styling, as I was not a fan of the refresh. However, I also don't have the same performance level, new car...
Both are fantastic platforms, and the honest truth is few buyers will use near the limit of capabilities of either. I have been watching reviews, reading reviews like this for months now.
I was in the market for either a Mustang GT, Camaro 2SS or 1SS w/ 1LE, or Challenger Scat Pack. It is...
Hey Andy,
Yeah, that is definitely on the radar, looking at those dual QTP's with a switch in the cabin.
I apologize for the quality of the sound clips and Vimeo, but here is the cold startup with my daughter saying "It's not as loud" haha: and a short takeoff video: I can always take more.
Man, I am really sorry to hear about your issues. I went back and forth before buying my 2016 PP GT, and I am hoping for the best myself, but you never know when things could crop up. I really hope everything gets resolved for you, no one should have to put up with this.
I am 41 on Sunday, but I bought my 2016 GT with a resonator delete (H-pipe) and Flowmaster 40's, and while it brought the 20 year old out in me, I quickly grew tired of the extra attention, the rasp, the drone, the cold startups setting off my other car's alarm, etc. I went with Borla ProXS...
Yeah that is interesting! Mid mounting must make a huge difference in that case, the 10's should be wicked loud. I agree with the tinny, unpleasant sound above 4k, mine sounded like crackles in a coffee can. The cruising sound was good though, save for the drone. What are you running now?
Just...
Back from the shop, wow what a difference! I will grab some video as soon as I can, but I will describe the changes as best I can.
First off, they really set the tips flush with the rear valance, the old tips were sticking way out, perfectly centered, the welds are top notch. Everything fit...
Well, she's on the lift. They said there are no issues with part fitment, will be done in three hours. I was talking to the shop owner, and he was saying how much resonance the new Coyote's put out, he thinks it will smooth out everything really nicely.
Part of me will miss the old exhaust...
The A10 is a fantastic auto, one of the best on the market.
MT82 for me, I missed having a manual, and it was time to go back to basics for me. After all the horrible reviews of the MT82 online, I was very surprised during the test drive how excellent it actually was. Perhaps compared to other...
What was interesting is I couldn't find the stock muffler dimensions, so I researched other cat-backs and measured what was on the car now. The Borla 40358's are exactly the same size as the Flowmaster 40's on there now, which used the stock piping. The stock mufflers are center inlet / offset...
