    OTA pipes - high temp insulation tubes/wrap?

    So I recently picked up the LTH over axle pipes for my 2014 GT. I chose these over the Borla because I figured the two piece design would be easier to install than the single piece design on the Borla. I did notice the Borlas come with “high temp insulation tubes” and I read in a couple of...

    2014 GT - Unsure on how to proceed w/ mods/customization, etc.

    Ok, so I've owned my base 2014 GT 6 speed, which I affectionally call the DudeStang, for almost 7 years. I recently had something fixed that was driving me crazy - some paint damage/scratches on the trunk lid and spoiler. The car isn't in perfect shape but it's in pretty good shape. It could...

    Shifter bracket nuts came off...while driving

    A little background first...a little over a month ago I installed the steeda tri-ax shifter on my 2014 GT. It was fine at first but then recently, the shifter started feeling sloppier and a few times, it went into reverse when I was trying to put it in first gear. I took the console out and it...

    FS: Roush Axle Backs

    For sale: Roush axle backs for 2011-2014 Mustangs. I had these on my 2014 GT for about five years, approximately 60k miles.

    Got a few parts I don't need anymore. I was going to use some of these on my 2014 GT but am focusing more on my Fox Body Project so I'm trying to get rid of some of these parts that are just sitting in my garage. The axle backs are an unknown brand, possibly a custom job with some sort of...

    “Mystery Mufflers” versus Roush Axle Backs- Video Comparison

    I think I’ve mentioned these axle backs that I’ve taken to calling the mystery mufflers in a few random threads - I picked up these axle backs from another member on here a few months back. Finally got them installed on my 2014 GT and made a video of the install and a sound comparison between...

    What are you working on (or procrastinating on) currently?

    What are you working on (or procrastinating on) currently for your Coyote Mustang? Modding my 2014 has been slowed down since I started working on my Fox Body but I've still got some parts sitting in the garage and things I'd like to get done before the apocalypse takes us all. I've still...

    Just picked up my first Fox Body...finally

    I've wanted a fox body for a long time. The first Mustang I ever rode in was a fox body. The first Mustang I ever drove was a fox body. I’ve been a huge fan of these cars since I was a teenager and always wanted to own one. I also wanted a project car that I could tinker with and build up and...

    ABs rusted to over-axle pipes - tips for loosening/removal?

    So I'm trying to remove my Roush ABs (been on the car since right after I bought it, five and a half years ago, approximately 57k miles) to try out another set I just picked up. I got the clamp off and it looks like the AB is sealed/rusted to the over axle pipe. I tried some WD-40 but it doesn't...

    What phone mount are you using (giant phones like iphone 10, etc)?

    I'm having a ridiculously hard time finding a phone mount to use in my Mustang. I had an iPhone 8 for a while and this pretty simple air vent by Koomus and it worked fine. Then I made the mistake of getting the upgraded iPhone 10 XR which is huge, and then with a case it is like the size of a...

    Front LCA install - stuck, need secret wisdom/tips

    I'm in the middle of replacing my front lower control arms. I managed to successfully remove the "impossible bolt" AKA the LCA mount bolt, and the LCA rear bolts but now I can't get the part closest to the brake (the ball joint I think its called - see pic below) to come out or push down. One...

    Rocker panel air deflector - anywhere to buy just this part?

    My rocker panel air deflectors are looking pretty bent out of shape (the one I don't have a pic of at the moment is much worse than the one pictured) and I want to replace them but I'm not able to find anywhere that sells just this particular part. When I looked by part number, the most relevant...

    Polishing/cleaning up ABs - what do you use?

    I swear I saw a thread where someone posted about polishing their axle backs and making them look pretty much brand new but my searches haven't produced any relevant results. It is possible it was on another forum I suppose.... Anyways, my Roush ABs are showing their age and whether I keep them...

    Considering swapping Roush for GT500 ABs...couple questions

    I've had Roush ABs on my 2014 for the past five years or so. I love the way it sounds, but I'm probably getting old because the loudness is starting to wear on me. After long trips, I can still feel the droning in my head for a while. I was thinking of picking up something that is a little...

    Anyone own an Ecoboost AND a GT (or other Stang V8)?

    I own a 2014 GT and for the longest time have been interested in picking up an SN95 as another project/fun car, more than likely a Cobra if I could find the right car for the right price. I came across a few 2015 Ecoboost Mustangs on Auto Trader with prices around $14k and it got me thinking...

    Seat upgrade alternatives to Ford Recaros?

    I'm sure I'm not the only person who regrets not getting the Recaro seats when I bought my Mustang. Seeing as how they are crazy expensive to buy now, I'm wondering what other seats people have bought/installed and your experiences have been. I'd love to get some better seats for my 2014 but...

    Front control arms need to be replaced - suggestions?

    A little background - I have a 2014 Mustang GT, bought new in 2014. Car has just over 45k miles on it. Recently I had been hearing this weird noise when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, and it seemed to happen more consistently in cold weather. Basically when turning in and out or...

    Need help identifying clip/fastener - rear bumper

    My Google search skills have failed me today - trying to figure out what the white clip/fastener is here. I'm missing one of them and would like to find a replacement.

    Dealer says rear wheel bearings need replacement (2014 Mustang)

    I noticed a strange sound while driving a few days ago. It was hard to pinpoint while driving with the window down but basically sounded like a wub wub wub thrumming sound (I saw someone else describe it this way in another forum and it made sense). Basically it sounds like the one of the tires...

    Suspension questions - LCA brackets/PHR & lowering springs

    I'm looking to better understand adjustments that need to be made with current mods if I decide to lower my car. I have Whiteline lower control arms and a Whiteline adjustable panhard rod on my 2014 GT. Originally I wasn't planning on dropping the car (roads are pretty crappy around here and...

    Tune/Tuner recs for stock 5.0 & other noob questions

    I did a couple of searches and couldn't find threads addressing these exact questions but if there's a general tuning thread that has tons of FAQs addressed (like the BMR all things suspension thread), by all means, please point me in the right direction. My car will be out of warranty soon...
