I ended up keeping my manual trans 3.31 gears after getting the fp tune. Imho now the car really becomes fun at 2k rpm, so why spend money trying to make it come alive from a stop? Plus dealer quoted me 1k for 3.55 gear install yikes. Also like the fuel economy, usable first gear, and with the...

Actually thinking of uninstalling it now. The base (drone?) is too deep/overpowering when the top is down, especially when holding a gear while coming to a stop (I have a manual trans). It drowns out my stereo and I have an old-school band pass sub-woofer installed lol. I think if I had a coupe...

I ended up doing the install on jack stands. It wasn't too bad except removing the convertible bracing was kind of a p i t a and I couldn't figure out how to get the tips somewhat even without one of the pipes touching the bracing afterwards. I took it for a test drive though and it doesn't seem...

Only reason I was thinking of doing myself is so I can fiddle with the tip depth..

It's supposed to fit but may be a tight squeeze. Thinking of bringing it to a shop for that reason. My old man back issues have nothing to do with it :p

Ended up ordering the Magnaflow. Better price, proven (on here), and the comment about the FP system possibly being restrictive scared me off since I already have the fp tune. Excited to get it installed while I still have a little top down weather to hear it better with! Thanks everyone for the...

835?? wow! Great tip! it seemed like all the websites had it for 1125.

My attorney was just showing me his '07 stock Shelby and the exhaust tips look just like the FP/borla system's tips. They were beautiful, FP (Ford Racing back then) must still use the design. Now to look out for the magnaflow tips!

Nice feedback. The MF tips seem big in pictures but I figured that might be something that looks more subtle in person..

Tired of the kitchen blender sound and tacked on exhaust tip look of the stock exhaust so want to install a relatively quiet catback but torn between these two and no opportunity to listen in person. From videos (on decent sound systems) it seems the magna flow has more of a refined sound...

I'm doing this myself, will propbably order some from Katzkin. The installers have told me I could remove the old leather interior and keep it intact.

Falconrr, did you have to flash twice after you figured out what "turn off module" meant? The manual says you will have to if you aborted but it didn't make me so I'm thinking best to just leave it be. And lawrencecar, I'm gonna try but my receipt basically said I tried to have dealer install...

The tune is awesome btw!! Even with only a handful of miles on the odo since doing it the torque in the 2000 rpm range was phenomenal, I charged up an on ramp like a beast, and even the dopey 6th gear on my non-pp manual trans was giving decent pull over 2000 rpm on the highway. I've been so...

Well, yes and no. I believe the FP warranty is necessary only if the dealer or ford find engine damage to be caused by the tune. Since I purchased and service my car at this dealer (who's been in business since 1969) and I have documentation from them saying the tune won't void my warranty I...

Thanks man. When I did a test drive idle felt less smooth so it must have worked and is doing it's octane learning now.

Thanks. What number is supposed to change? I noticed that the "PCM Software ID" is the only thing that changed...all different characters, but same format as yours. Midway through it was telling me to "turn off module" and the pdf instructions it downloaded didn't warn me of that. So I...

So this is new, my dealer would not do the install because they didn't want to use my laptop and they cannot download the tune again since I had already downloaded it to my system. So they charged me a half an hour labor at $70 with tax to install the air filter and advised me to do the install...

He had said "about" an hour in the past, though I'm nervous they are gonna slam me when I get there. Your dealer probably charging you msrp for kit whitch is over $600...add on 1.5 hours labor and tax and you are around 850. I got kit for $400 at Levittown ford.

Dropped off my car this morning to get flashed and have the K&N installed. Had my laptop all preped and ready for them but they refused it saying that they needed to use a ford laptop to prove to ford it was done properly. I already downloaded tune to my fp account, wonder if they'll need access...

I always got the impression flashing was a delicate process, that's why most kits suggest using a trickle battery charger...just to be extra sure it does't get interrupted mid flash. Just got my box from Levittown. Ordered some prefinished side scoops (mustang jewelry?) with it for only a few...
