Thanks for all the feedback!
I realize now the original post is a bit cryptic. I was having some MPG-drop regret, even though I had done the math. Hence the question about taller tires.
But yeah the issue is traction. I'll pull the rear tires and save them for the front once they wear out...
Thanks!
Looks like there aren't a lot of tires with an AA traction rating that would also be large enough to change the rollout by a noticable amount.
I guess I'll just get some stickier tires in the stock size.
There's only a difference of 5% between 3.55 and 3.73.

Ditched the stock 3.15 diff for the aftermarket LSD and 3.73 gears.

Stock 17" wheels (not looking to change that)
I'm happy overall, but wish I'd gone with 3.55 gears.

Thanks guys!
Having it in the corner means no back-wave cancelling out some of output. It definitely hits. Deep too.
I'm afraid I don't have time to make another to sell it, but hey, if I could build this, you can too. There are lots of YouTube videos on how to make boxes like this. Just...
Thanks! I've had that sub for 15 years I think. It's been in several cars. I had this car for a whole year assuming it wouldn't fit. Once day I propped it up in that corner as a joke. It was all over from there.
This is my stab at reasonable hi-end audio in this car. At the time, the Mustang was our primary car. I promised my wife that the rear seat would still fold down, and the speaker box wouldn't block access to the spare tire. Rundown - Factory EQ Forscan disabled, late 90's Eclipse 200x4 amp, 1997...
I have a 2017 Base V6 that I picked up at 28K miles. The seat had the void at the bottom, but somehow I just ignored it and enjoyed the car. I was prescribed Adderall at the time, so I probably couldn't feel much of anything. Around 50K miles, and off Adderall, I started commuting an hour to and...
Full disclosure - I did the GT catback exhaust swap about a month ago. Found one for $100 about an hour away.
I just didn't mention that since the cats where the shorties will attach are unchanged.
I also have the aluminum K&N CAI, and the MPT PR-X 87 tune.
Shorties are the last step - for a...
Hey guys!
Forgive my ignorance, but will these both fit the stock exhaust setup?
I ask as this one - https://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-exhaust-header-hds-fm11-37l-shorty.html
states "Header Collector Size - 2.50 Inch"
but this one -...
