    Stock exhaust diameter question

    So I am looking to install a GT350 catback on my GT and am looking for a bit of information before I get started. The GT350 midpipe inlet is 2.5'' - so I know that I will need a reducer to make it work with the stock GT cats. Is the stock GT piping (going into the resonator) 2.25'' ID or OD?

    10-12 tail light set

    Switched over to the 13-14 lights so now I want these out of the garage. Lights are in good shape. Only blemishes are drip marks on the top black trim piece that is covered when the trunk is closed (no idea, it was there when I got it) and a small dot on the driver lens near the part number...

    Best way to seal a hairline crack in a tail light?

    Not my photo - but dealing with something similar. I know epoxy would work, but I feel like it would get all over the place. Any ideas on how to seal something like this up and not look too bad?

    WTB : Passenger side 13-14 tail light in decent shape

    As the title says - looking for a used 13-14 tail light for the passenger side. Minor scratches are fine - not looking for perfection. Let me know what you've got and what you want. I will need the wire that runs from the light to the body harness.

    OEM 2011 GT500 Performance Package wheels w/ tires - $950

    Decided to replace my GT500 SVTPP wheels. They're in good shape showing typical use. No curb rash at all. There is some stubborn brake dust on the front passenger wheel. Tires are just over a year old and have about 10k miles on them. They're decent but I would replace the fronts at least in the...

    What is the proper way to add a sub to my Shaker 500 (with aftermarket head unit)

    I finished up my Maestro RR/Kenwood install and the setup sounds decent. I want to add a subwoofer in the trunk to make it sounds more like the Shaker 1000 that was in my old 06. I'm not an audiophile. It doesn't have to be the best sub ever as long as it sounds decent. With that said, I'm not...

    What to tap for backup camera power?

    Looking to add a backup camera this weekend after my Kenwood/Maestro install. I have plenty of video cable to run to the front - but only 1.2m of power cable for the camera. Most people seem to recommend tapping into the reverse lights, but I cant seem to find anyone who has actually done it and...

    How long is too long for a product to ship?

    I ordered a spoiler from a very reputable vendor back on March 15th with an expected ship date about a week out. Paid via PayPal so it was paid immediately rather than when shipped. I waited a week and my order status was still backordered. March 25th I shoot one of the reps a PM and he says he...

    Home invasion with a firearm? Probation!

    http://youtu.be/QIOh4QYmS2c Absolutely ridiculous. The judge is more offended that their 3 year old is now scared of black men than the fact that someone broke into their house and threatened the family with a firearm.

    10-12 OEM HID headlights w/ ballasts and bulbs

    I have decided to just get a set of halogen replacements as it seems to flow better with my particular car. Both lights are in good but not perfect condition. The driver side has typical wear from use - some small rock chips and minor scratches that could probably be polished out. The passenger...

    Exhaust video and question about some smoke...

    Took a video of my exhaust today since I haven't seen anyone else post one with the same setup. MAC OR Prochamber Magnaflow resonators SLP LM1 axleback I think it's a little too quiet for me. I'll probably change it soon. A question I did have - between my 1-2 shift, I notice there is...

    Meguiars G110v2 Dual Action Polisher

    Looking to sell my Meguiars G110V2 DA polisher. It's in great shape aside from the backing plate. One of the pads was spinning on the backing plate due to bad velcro on the pad and it got hot enough to melt a small piece of the velcro from the backing plate. I've detailed two vehicles since then...

    What size fuse between battery and alternator?

    I replaced my alternator on Thursday and long story short, I had to replace the power cable going to the battery as well. Originally the stock cable had a 10 gauge fusible link and 6 gauge wire. I replaced the entire thing with 4 gauge wire and an inline fuse holder that has a 100A fuse. Can...

    Local shop potentially damaged my differential... UPDATE 5/25 How do I approach this? A little back story - I picked up an 06 GT a few Saturdays ago and when I got under it before, I didn't notice any fluids leaking anywhere. The last week, I would notice a drip on the driveway every now...

    How do I pass inspection?

    Here in Texas on any cars 01+, you get 1 not ready on your OBD2 test for inspection. I recently picked up an 06 GT with an offroad prochamber. It has no check engine lights, so I assumed it had a tune to take care of emissions. I went today and tried. I got two not ready codes. The sheet...

    Meguiars OTC products work great!

    This weekend I'll be detailing my new vehicle. I got some new pads in last night (not to mention the first thing a few people said when they saw my car was "holy swirls") so I was itching to get ahead so I can squeeze a couple vehicles into the same day. I decided to do my fenders this morning...

    How do I keep clear coat from peeling?

    Looking closer at the car I just picked up I noticed a spot on the hood that looks like it may be peeling? I'm not really too sure. It's too dark outside now to get a good picture of it but it's right where the painted stripe meets the blue paint. Couple more, but they might as well be the...

    Changing Shaker 1000 head unit?

    I've been searching Google for the correct way to swap the Shaker 1000 head unit for an aftermarket. I've already got the head unit I plan to use, but I need the wiring harness. I've seen tons of conflicting info on what to use, so can someone please tell me what the harness is that I need to...

    Why is it so hard to find a clean Mustang?

    I'm looking to get back in a Mustang after being without for a few months. Looking through Craigslist in Austin, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, I see VERY few 99-04 Mustangs that are in good shape. I see the typical $3,000 beaters then the few clean Mustangs there are, they are asking $10k...

    WTT 2005 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 for Cobra in TX

    I made a mistake and sold my Mustang to buy a truck. Now I definitely regret it. I'm looking to trade for a Mach 1 or Cobra with a similar book value. I've got a 2005 F150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4 with the 5.4 V8. It has 95k miles on it. A friend and I installed the 2.5'' leveling kit. The Blue Book...

    F150 clearly misfiring, but no codes and no info on mode 6

    So I picked up an 05 F150 in January with the 5.4 3v. I know about the plug issue. I'm at 93k miles and I know I need to do the plugs, but I'm hoping I can get away with just the COPs for the time being. My issue is that at low RPMs between 45 and 55, if I start to ease on the gas (not enough to...

    Car audio guys...

    I just picked up an 05 F150 XLT SuperCrew. The stock 6 disk changer and stereo system in general pretty much suck, even compared to the Mach 460 that was in the 96 Mystic and 99 Cobra I had. Generally speaking... what do you normally replace first? Speakers or head unit? I don't really care...

    Supercharged 96 Mystic Cobra with 67k miles

    I recently picked up this car on a trade. I'm just not sure it's what I want. I'm picking up a truck today so this has to go. I've got a 1996 Mystic Mustang Cobra. It's #1220 out of only 2000 built. 67k miles on the odometer. Bluebook value is $11,300 in excellent condition without considering...

    Pictures of my blown 96 Mystic!

    Before anything - I know it needs to be polished. Bad. Other than that it's clean as can be and no issues with the paint. 67k miles on it. Open to suggestions on subtle mods. Obviously it will be lowered, get different exhaust tips, and a new third brake light.
