Haha I'll be 80 too. Upside is there'll probably be a magical pill that extends your life and makes you feel like a teenager again, unless we nuked the planet into a radioactive waste-land.
I've been thinking about upgrading the throttle body on my GT to a 90mm.
When I upgraded the throttle body on my old V6 a decade ago there was a noticeable difference at low speeds for sure. Also you can hear the air being sucked in when the TB was slightly open, people thought I had a turbo...
Quick update: Took my car out on my lunch break to listen for the drone noise, and to have a bit of fun. Drone is totally gone, maybe I just had to break in the pipes. Now I can say the pipes are perfect.
Just want to clarify, the only time the Steel Works H-Pipe drones for me is in 3rd gear at exactly 2000 RPMs. Not at 1900 or 2100, but exactly on 2000. And the drone is not that loud either.
I'll try and get one this weekend with passes and all that fun stuff.
I have no problem talking to people at normal driving speeds, my grandfather who uses hearing aids can carry on a conversation no problem. But yes it is louder, and at WOT conversations are a lil tough. Then again why are...
Installed the Stainless Works H-Pipe over the weekend, it's exactly how a Mustang should sound. Throaty and angry. I did get a little drone but thats because of the empty spare tire well, for the short term a moving blanket in the well fixed it. This weekend I'm going to lay down some dynamat in...
Is it just me or does that grill look cheap from a distance? Kinda looks plastic-y especially on the red, maybe its just all the pictures I've seen. Either way it feels wrong for that car.
I've actually been curious about this, how exactly does the sleeve work and how easily can it be removed and inserted back?
The sleeve is a big reason why I'm thinking I'll end up getting the Steeda intake. Being able to go back to a stock tune when I bring the car in for maintenance (prevent...
I thought the same thing about Airaid, out all the CAI's I looked at it's the only one that didn't require a tune. One of the few reasons its not on my list.
I seriously doubt they will be CARB legal, luckily you won't have to worry about SMOG for 6 years.
Out of curiosity what CAI did you choose for your Mustang, or will you choose?
I'm currently debating between JLT's and Steeda's. I'm waiting for some performance numbers from Steeda before I make my decision.
I know everyone loves to see those big horsepower and torque numbers but throw in some turns and the Mustang wins hands down.
For example check out the track times at the Streets of Willow. The Mustang GT PP beats the Scat pack by 1.47 seconds around the track. An even more fun comparison is...
Girlfriend just told me she saw a blue 2015 Mustang in a 4 car pile up near Reno, NV. Said it looked like they were racing and the Mustang rear-ended someone.
Doubting it was anyone on these forums, but a nasty reminder to be smart while driving.
I went through the dealer. They gave me a nice discount and extended the miles, I believe there's no deductible if I bring the car to them for warranty work. On top of that I like their service department, good people that don't try to rip you off.
I always get the extended warranty even though I mod my cars with various bolt-ons and a tune, I have yet to have an issue with car mods and the warranty.
My past 2 cars both had issues after the factory warranty had ended. My last car need the drivers seat mounting assembly replaced and then...
I know there were gains on the 2014 GT with a 90mm throttle body, but you're paying a lot for the small gains you get ($630).
It comes down to personal preference. I will more than likely end up getting a 90mm TB if I stay NA, in the past I felt a larger TB gave me a snappier throttle response.
