spoke the service rep and technician. Said they spent an hour on the heat shield per the instructions (videos) and could not get the shield to stop rattling. Suppose I could have the shield welded on. But what would the down-side / ramifications of not having the heat shield re-installed? Thanks.
So I had the H-pipe installed by my local Ford dealer - with whom I have confidence - however, they did not re-install the heat shield. Before I call them on this, I'm curious, what are the down sides to not having the heat shield reinstalled?
And - the H-pipe resonator delete sounds excellent.
Loving the 2021 GT500, but honestly a little underwhelmed on the exhaust note. Curious if others have done the resonator delete, and if so, opinions on the changes in the exhaust note. Looks like Lethal Performance makes a great resonator delete. Anyone gone that direction?

Frank at Spyder Composites fixed everything up properly. Took about 6-months from rim shipment date to rim received date. Spoke t Frank numerous times about the process, etc. The new inner barrel coating looks excellent. Now to get them mounted with tires and swapped back onto the 350R, as I...
I figured Day 1 will be geared to the "masses" as there will be people of varying experience levels at Track Attack.
Correct on Day 2 - all day on track in a Ford Mustang GT race car with a driver. I hope it is as advertised.
How was the experience? I am going to the 2-day event in mid-June. I track my 350R regularly. I won't be able to track my 500 this year. It's only got 300 miles and I literally just started them up today after the 5-month winter sleep. Highly doubt I will get the 500 broken in this year - maybe...
Considering getting my 350R PPF'ed. Have a quote from one reputable installer. Entire car ceramic coated plus majority of the car PPF'ed - quote was $6,900. The PPF material will be XPEL. Price seems a bit steep to me. Now, I am considering only getting the front, fenders, mirrors, and A pillars...
I spoke to the tech / installer and he reiterated everything. You can do the PPF over the stripes, however, the PPF will turn a matte stripe gloss. To maintain matte finish and OEM look of the stripe, the vinyl stripes are removed. PPF installed in appropriate sections of the hood. Then new...
Let me investigate this further. Perhaps I misunderstood something the tech verbally indicated to me. I very much appreciate the insight here. It is an expensive spend for the car but I believe worth it, especially being the car is tracked regularly.
So that implies you have multiple PPF cuts and seams on your hood, roof, etc. as a result of not removing the stripes?
This was discussed with the technician / installer, who appears to have a lot of experience and has done 500s and 350s / 350Rs (and many more expensive and rare cars). I know...
Getting my 350R PPF'ed and the technician (who does many high-end cars and also done multiple 500s and 350s) said that he will remove the OEM stripes, apply PPF material across the entire sections, and then re-apply new racing stripes after the PPF is done.
Question - suggestions /...
Same boat here. I track my 350R and it is fantastic. I need to continue to learn and get better on the track. The car has great capabilities. My 500 needs more break-in miles before hitting the track / strip next year (been garaged for the winter).
For the guys who say the 350R is lacking power...
light came on upon start. Light remained on for a 15 minute drive home.
Have not started the car in a week. I will start and let it run for a bit this weekend and see what happens. If the temperature rises enough this weekend, I will take it for a light drive and see if anything changes.
I...
The other day (magically after I left the dealer for an oil change and brake flush), my 2020 GT350R (4k miles) is showing check engine light. Used my OBD II scanner, and it is showing DTC code P0128. Relates to coolant thermostat / coolant temperature.
I believe other 350 / 350R owners have...
