Install Complete... Happy :like: - I will get round to a wool strand test at some point, see if the Wicker is required.
I used 1/8" Black rivets which held well without distortion.
As we bought 3 vents from SCS as a first order, we got a better pricing than the link -> so All-in cost was less...
I couldn't agree more.. As the OP of this thread, I stated that $$ savings also require some level of effort in involved...
" You have to fold the fins, epoxy the ribs and paint.. but those who like to save a bit and have time to spare - this works.."
This thread is Not for all..
Epoxy cures and painted..
Ready to install.
as for the position comment, this is same position as recommended from Trackspec and other installs I have seen.
Front edge just behind second screw.
We have designed a front Wicker to be 3D printed.. after install I will make an air test to look at flow.. Then decide what to do..!
From other videos, the side vents seem to expel air faster and with more force, but that could be the air evacuation and volume with smaller vents which cause...
OK! We made a few revisions of the vent, angles and supporting ribs, to suit both cars Mustang and Vette.

Ordered x3 for even more savings.
Twist by hand then 2 part Epoxy for securing the 2 supports in a few places.
First one finished...
I was waiting for this…
So much for a bunch of engineers showing a bit of initiative, trying to save a few bucks making savings for themselves, without a mark-up and S&H from after market sellers who have their own overheads to consider.
I could probably buy a Chinese vent from Temu for half...
After seeing the prices for center hood vents.. 2 of my track friends, 2 Mustangs and a C5 Vette, decided to design our own vent then have them Laser Cut .. half the price, and slightly larger than others available.
You have to fold the fins, epoxy the ribs and paint.. but those who like to...
If you can access the tune file -> Another thing to check is the "Long Term Fuel Trim" settings. Typically, tuners turn this off..
Which could be a factor for the IM reset... We switched it back on.
Mine is HP Tuners, I bought the license and VCM tuners suite SW.
Failing that -> wait for Trump...
Resetting all the alerts for emissions is a pain.. After my engine rebuild and tune I had the same issue.. I tried all the recommended routines - start, hard accelerate drive at 40mph etc. Couldn't get I'M readiness Cats, O2S and HRT.. so would fail the North Carolina emissions test.. Only...

They All Do That Sir..
You need this, disassemble, smear all over . I have Ridetech coilovers and after a while, unless the bushings are all shot, they can squeak..

In my experience with towing a Mustang to the track.
I Started with: RAM 1500, Kurt weight distribution hitch, open steel trailer = no issues weight wise, drivability or wind gusts, everything was good.
Next step was an Enclosed 24ft flat nose trailer = no issues weight wise, pulling or...
What trailer will you be towing as well as the car.? open or closed.?
Ability to support the extra weight and tongue capacity should should be considered.
My Ram 1500 with tow pack was really not man enough with regards to stability. I now have a Ram 2500 gas Power wagon.
The rig towed fine as...
All my suspension joints have been replaced over time.. Coilovers , drops, sway bar, links etc...
I also had annoying clunks, rattles and knocks this season.. Have already replaced Thrust washers too.
I found one of the Coilover bushings was pretty dry... So a bit research and went for this ...
There really is no need to touch the computer unless you want to ;)
If you intend on keeping the car in Stock form, then only the normal fluids, filters and common check overs, tires, brakes etc.. (as well as the current recall list) are necessary.
Drive it, have fun.. The car will tell you if...
This is a post from my friend on the HPT forum, with reference to my car. We need help 😄
Hello Everyone,

Its a 2015 Mustang 5.0 that we just rebuilt the motor on. It burned up cylinder 8, so we went 0.005 over and...
