  1. Active Exhaust on 2017 GT

    This was the control kit I used, or at least it looks exactly the same. Just order the 2 inch one as it's cheapest and take the motors off the valves. The kit does come with some valve springs but they don't fit hence having to use the Ford ones. Have the control box somewhere inside the trunk...
  2. Active Exhaust on 2017 GT

    From the UK here, mine is a 2017 car. MP Concepts quad tip rear diffuser and 2018+ active Borla S-Type axle-backs with a control unit and valve actuator kit from Aliexpress that plugs into the 12V socket and is operated by a remote that gives you fully open, fully closed or an "auto" button that...
  3. URGENT HELP PLEASE - Tracker device stopping the car from running after mapping

    I doubt it'd seriously affect them, the rant was fairly obviously born out of your frustration at the time and mostly understandable given the costs involved and that you obviously have a schedule you'd like to keep to, but if it was an issue with the Whipple supplied tunes that's on Whipple...
  4. URGENT HELP PLEASE - Tracker device stopping the car from running after mapping

    Great news OP👍 As someone else said maybe get the tune looked over just to be safe, but that should be a rocket once you get used to it. Fair play to you for not just throwing the garage's name around on here trying to get results as I know a fair few people who would have done in your...
  5. URGENT HELP PLEASE - Tracker device stopping the car from running after mapping

    They're down in Chichester near Goodwood, admittedly their social media isn't particularly glamorous but Paul Spinks really knows his stuff tuning and his wife Annie runs the business side of it, she's lovely and super helpful to deal with. They have an instagram page as well, but if you contact...
  6. URGENT HELP PLEASE - Tracker device stopping the car from running after mapping

    The whole situation isn't ideal whatsoever and rightly you're not happy, but to be fair the garage are probably just as frustrated as you are. From your previous posts I can work out which garage has your car and they've got a pretty good reputation, so most likely the issue is with the tunes...
  7. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Drove it😎 The MGW is so satisfying to use, no slop whatsoever, super precise and a really nice solid feel to it. The exhaust noise is vastly improved as well, it's still loud but the baffles have really taken the edge off the nasty rasp that was present on WOT. All in all a very happy man, due...
  8. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Sneak peak from home, turns out my Dad got bored and the MGW shifter and baffles for the H-pipe are all in already! He said the worst bit was getting the bolt holding the original shifter onto the gearbox out, but otherwise not a bad process at all, just awkward in places. Apparently the baffles...
  9. UK Mustang Mod Fun is About to be OVER

    This subject has been covered before a fair few times now. If you drive around flooring it and making a total racket then fully expect to get pulled regardless of the car you're driving, but I don't know anyone who's been pulled over purely because the police suspected excessive noise while they...
  10. Advice on Mods for S550

    This is a good shout OP. There's myself and at least one other on here (who told me how to do it) that run active systems meant for facelift cars using an aftermarket controller and actuator kit. Having the ability to shut the car up for neighbour friendliness is a wonder and well worth the...
  11. Advice on Mods for S550

    On a 2017 car (mine is one as well, just on an 18 plate), I'd recommend the steeda rear alignment and bush support kit, steeda clutch spring, steeda shifter support bracket, some lowering springs (Eibach Pros are popular), spacers, anti-roll bars (these seriously make a huge difference), some...
  12. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    MGW shifter got delivered today, word from back home is the parts weigh a ton and the machining is absolutely up there with the best in quality👍 hope it feels as good as it looks!
  13. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Not really a "what have I done to my Mustang today" given I've been 8,000 miles away from the car for the last couple of months and will be until sometime in March apart from a little break back in the UK in December which obviously isn't normally the time for ideal weather for Mustang...
  14. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Couple of weeks ago I had my driver's side rear caliper handbrake mechanism ever so politely seize up and almost catch fire. Fitted a new caliper and new discs and pads both sides and I also fitted some Koni active dampers I've had sitting aroujd for a few weeks. Needs a good wash now as it's...
  15. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Thanks, that was on the last night just before I went to bed, the only dry night I had! The tent was faultless to be fair for a pop-up one, never woke up wet or anything even if it had been chucking it down, but the car was flawless. No issues whatsoever from that side of things but it does need...
  16. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Got back from my camping trip the other day. 672 miles, 22mpg and the car's absolutely filthy but I'd 100% recommend it👍 the blast over the top of Exmoor on the A39 is rather fun too...
  17. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Glad to hear it isn't just me👍 it'll be its first proper road trip during my ownership, I've had it since March last year but owing to me being away and it being plagued with ignition troubles for 6 months I haven't had anywhere near the use I'd have liked out of it. And I go away again for 6...
  18. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Attended the Mustang Nationals at Santa Pod today, the weather did spoil proceedings somewhat but for next year they're looking at doing a Saturday too which would probably help with attendance if the weather can play ball too👍 Also booked a few campsites (yes I'm a pikey and a heathen for...
  19. Active exhaust options for 2016 GT

    If you buy an H-pipe and axle-backs they're designed to replace sections of the stock system so will just slip onto the remaining bits of that with their supplied clamps after those sections have been cut out. They're really easy to do with a saw and some patience at getting things lined up. FYI...
  20. Active exhaust options for 2016 GT

    Hi, I'm the one Liam mentioned in his post with the Borla S-Types. Mine uses the same valve motors and controller as his along with the springs he mentioned (they're bloody expensive for what they are but necessary to operate the valves), but I have 2018+ axle-backs which required some bending...
