I finally replaced the hideous stock billboards with new numberplate holders (Craig's bracket at the front, Kingpin at the rear). I've had the car since last September; I know I should be shot for having driven with those big black boards for 5 months. All it took was a rainy weekend to find the motivation to replace them.

Today I fitted an irrigation valve to my Mustang!

Bjstang in this forum used this simple solution to block and unblock the sound tube. So simple!

The job took a less than three minutes.

My initial thought is that it’s quieter while driving but the Borla goodness is clearer. No obvious difference on changing the valve when idling and climbing in and out of the car.

Hmmmm fair enough, you may have removed the sound but the unsightly tube remains :thumbsup:
It definitely sounds better without it through :first:

Good point. Well presented. :D

Given the hassle to remove it, this is a quick and easy solution for now.

Hmmm I wonder what would make it easier to remove.... :headbonk: I know when I get extractors :lol:

Yes I was also planning on doing Bill's fix for the sound tube when my order comes in. Easy to fit, saves removing the tube and very reversible for resale. Besides it will be good to be able to quickly compare sound on, sound off.

Because using a flick knife to cut up rubber piping is about the limit of my mechanical ability, I did this very same method! Crude, but it works.

Cabin noise is noticeably different.

It will do till I next take the beastie to the mechanics for more work... they can take the tube out properly.

$8.65 from Bunnings. Possibly the cheapest mod out there.

It's just the way I like it!

No, the coolant reservoir isn't painted, it's a painted cover. You can still see the coolant fluid level.

Grabber Blue was the only colour for me. I saw a Grabber Blue '69 when I was a teenager and that sealed it for me. Had to have a Mustang from then on.

Seeing Grabber Blue available for '17 made it seem like fate.

That said, I think there is too much Grabber Blue on the '17 and it needs breaking up a bit with stripes or black roof etc.

Love my Grabber Blue fastback. ;)
