No, you right it's not the same sound. It's not the same thing - I don't have anything like this.
But, we have one other thing in common - squeaking radiator fan. Mine does the same thing.
Next: suspension.
Waay to soft for my taste, waay to high for my taste. This is what I removed:
Parts: Eibach lowering springs, KONI yellow adjustable shocks, Steeda jacking rails, SR sway bars, vertical links and IRS tie down kit from AM:
Plus Ford Racing oil separator by the...
While installing the long tubes - and I do almost everything myself - I found that it's almost impossible to get to the passenger
side front ex. mani. stud. I had to loosen the AC compressor bolts just to move it away about an inch.
This is my first Mustang so I was not aware that Ford...
And even more powahhhh:
Decided to not use Stage 8 fasteners - OEM's works just fine.
Nice thing from Lund they revised the program for headers for free.
Installed in one day, very difficult task I might add. By the same time I sprayed the under body with some amber/clear wax
as I use it...
Next part: exhaust.
Remus active system, 3" catback with resonator:
Very nice system with remote control. 4 sound stages to chose: fully closed, 10% open, 50% open and full open.
Fully stainless with chromed 4" tips:
Some sound clips:

Sounds good and raspy.
Meanwhile painted the...
It all started last year around February 2016 when I bought my S550 - US spec imported fro Mexico, GT Premium with AT.
I knew that as a mechanic and engineer I would eventually start some mod monkey wrenching..sooner or later but I was trying
to convince myself to let it be in stock form just...
Nothing - Kooks sells it like that so you can fit it with stock cat back. My Remus cat-back is 3" all the way and Kooks tell you to use 3">2,5">3" adapters...
I know - it's stupid but this was for mock-up only. I came up with a scavenger type x-pipe idea.
It was also a temporary until I find...
Just a few examples what can be done.
This is what I got with my setup last time. Mod list in my sign. This reads a bit high as for RWHP but we had to use 3rd gear on my 3.15
auto as the 4th would spin my winter tires above the speed index(270khp). 6R80 does not have any gear with 1:1 ratio...
I'm glad those gadgets works for you mate - I just couldn't get used to that bloody blinking. Maybe I need to grow up :shrug:
Who did that taillight conversion for you. The guy from PL?
No, the noise is definitely squeaky as those flaps squeaks.
I installed my GT350 setup last Autumn and I traced this problem down to no one way valve for Charge actuators. Absolutely no TB sound in my setup whatsoever.
You are free to have a different opinion but either one of us have no...
Nice! :clap2:
One question m8 - I can see that you have the under-spray as well.
I thought they spray the under-body for EU market?
Anyways. Mine was imported from Mexico and came without any coating there whatsoever.
I use it as DD also in winter so I had to have the under-body sprayed...
Bent valves would the least of your concern.
Again, I hope I'm wrong but for now I think the cam sprocket cracked, jumper slightly over and your cam timing is now way off - you can try to pop the valve cover off and stick the endoscope there - you should have good view on the cam sprocket.
Just saying mate - hope I'm wrong but usually when you get a pop like that and then engine is no worky this means OPG/CS is shot.
The fact the valves hit the piston as you suspect means the cam sprocket is most likely broken. This would not cause any problems with
oil pressure but it will throw...
Then explain why I get no pop with one way valve and I get a pop without. The only change was one way valve.
If you do some data logging you will find that TB remains closed(under 3%) at idle so it can't make any noise because it's simply not possible!
Plus that noise is somehow "squeaky" and...
And I was starting to think I'm some kind of a freak with my import :lol:
There are plenty imported US spec S550's in Switzerland, available on hand waaay below EU retail price - I have all the extras which are not present in EU version: remote start, DRL, LED fogs, red taillights with...
Mine GT Premium came with 19" Pirelli ale season tires and that was a first thing I changed in this car...simply because I would just kill myself one day...
But here where I live temp could drop to -30'C and we have a lot snow for 3-4 months a year.
It is possible with bolt-on's but it would be very difficult to achieve.
I'd say full bolt-on's plus ported heads then it's possible to get even more.
Approx. 588 crank gives 500 RWHP with 15% drivetrain loses...
Nahhh, not all of us bought EU castrated versions - mine was imported from Mexico :cool:
As for NCAP - they changed their rules like 6 times in the past 4 years and frankly nobody here gives a damn because the very same vehicles got 2-3 stars more 2 years ago.
NCAP was made to promote the...
