Congrats on the car! It's beautiful.

I just installed a Corsa Sport catback exhaust on my 2015 GT and it's 100% perfect. No drone and sounds fantastic. I know you said easy, which the install was, but you never mentioned cheap, which this part wasn't ;)

I always use Mobile 1 full synthetic (in all my vehicles) and never had any issues.

The three things I would suggest are...

The clutch assist spring sold by Steeda which is super cheap and takes 5 minutes to put in with vice grips. You use the clutch so often that this part pays for itself in smiles.

The jacking rails also sold by Steeda. These things make jacking the car up take less than 5 minutes. Not only that but they're safer and, for me, I was able to get the car jacked up much higher than before.

Third thing to do right away is the BG Syncro Shift transmission fluid for ~$100 and put that in. The kit is all inclusive as far as parts needed (pump) and it takes less than 30 minutes. I suggest this because the transmission can be a little clunky from the factory and just swapping the fluid is a quick, reasonably priced fix for that.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
I know that I'll never hear the end of it, but I bought mine with an automatic.... on purpose. I appreciate your input on the exhaust. I'm sure there's a "tips 'n trick's" post somewhere, I'll have to take a look. Thanks for all the advice !

2016 Triple Yellow GTPP w/Recaros
Vehicle Showcase
1
Officially a 6G owner! Bought a leftover 2016 this past Saturday and picked it up today. Got a Triple Yellow GT Premium 400a w/ Performance Pack, Recaros and the nickel PP wheels. Dealer gave me a killer deal as they wanted it off the lot before end of month. Ended up paying 30900 for the car, sticker was just shy of 42! So far I am really enjoying it. I traded in a 16 WRX (which I traded my Focus ST on) and it feels good to be back in a Ford.

I had a 96 Mystic Cobra previously, and man what a difference the S550 is! Ford really did a great job on this generation.

2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost
Intro

Hello everyone,
My name is Frank... I have an 2016 EcoBoost Mustang (see attached). I have a YouTube page as well which I just opened. Still a rookie at it, but I guess I will get better at it over time. You can check it out on the link below. Any feedback or questions are welcomed.

Hey Lorne34,
Yeah its the performance pack. I believe there is a higher package as mine is only missing the Navi, 19" wheels, and a sportier spoiler. The wheels are stock, but I Plasti-dipped them black as you can see lol. Thanks for the comment on the black accents... It has been hard work and I have done all the installs myself, except for the exhaust which was done by a pro shop.

2017 401A GT PP Lightning blue silver stripe
For some reason my computer isn't cooperating with the site as far as posting pics. So long story short after a 12 year break from mustangs and a trade in of a unreliable 16 Camaro 2SS A8 my 2017 GT 401A PP lightning blue with white stripe was delivered to me today. It's been a while since a car has made me smile. While lets be honest my last car is measurably faster in all metrics it just had no soul and a insane price for aftermarket parts. I look forward to owning this car and making it mine. First order of business will be tightening up the IRS then perhaps some warranty friendly power packs and exhaust.

Must be nice being able to see where you're going and blind spots now too ;)

That is certainly true. Though being around mechanized armor all of my adult life I have grown accustomed to seeing through vision blocks.
