utlong31, Sorry to hear about the O2 sensor troubles. Without cats, the rear sensors will not see a temperature rise and will 'think' the cat is faulty. The Lund tune should have the rears off but that is my guess, not fact. The bungs should be located between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock when...

dj050894, Thank you for sharing your experience and posting up the solution - very good info to have when the day comes... Glad to hear you got your ride all fixed up. New clutch? Stock clutch? How's the Stage 3 transmission working? Road test report, por favor. "Enquiring minds want...

matt5058, Good work! Now you've got me thinking that i need to add some wrap to my OTA pipes. I don't see any signs of heat damage to the areas near the pipes but Borla wouldn't provide sleeves if they didn't think they were necessary, right? Enjoy the enhanced sound of the exhaust. :)...

BigGib, OEM RTR front splitters are scarce as hen's teeth. eBay has one or two but they are not priced to sell. I had bookmarked this site (below) as it offers high quality splitters and the metal support brackets: LiquiVinyl Aerodynamics The downside is that you'll need deep pockets...

Mr. CuBaN, Disclaimer: I'm not very good with electrical stuff so keep your expectations low. :D Do you have access to a shop manual (electrical system)? Fuse F26 (10 A) in the smart junction box (SJB) is for the instrument cluster. I suggest pulling the existing fuse and plugging in a...

ND68mach1, 6k miles per year so maybe a "semi-DD" (nice weather driving mostly) and the original owner had the recommended maintenance done (at the dealer it sounds like). Give the car a good look-over and haggle some with the dealer. (yes, they put new tires on but there still ought to be...

Good detective work to solve the problem, BH Tuner! Thanks for the updates - it's nice to hear about the follow-up work and successful resolution. Please post up your dyno run graph so we can cheer you on! :D Any engine bay photos? Keep up the good work. Chris

BigGib, Lol at my poor reading skills. Firewall, not hood. Got it. Sorry for my long post about the wrong blanket. :oops: I will poke around for info on the firewall blanket. It's a very congested area compared to the hood! :) Thanks for the pic - she's gorgeous. I'll keep an eye out...

BigGib, Welcome to the forums, neighbor! :) The blanket is held in place by large (approx. 1" dia.) plastic pushpins. These things can be tough to pull out. You should use a proper pin removal tool (they're inexpensive and very handy) and because you are prying the pin out, it is...

One Trick 5.0, You're welcome. If you have the time, it would be swell of you to share with your fellow forum members a little vid of those cutouts open. The unmuffled rumble of the Coyote is a beautiful thing. :) Thank you. Chris

One Trick 5.0, Welcome to the forums! Disclaimer: not an electric whiz, just a weekend wrencher. Most wiring inside the cabin is 16 or 18 gauge. 16 gauge is 0.065" dia. and is pretty common; 18 gauge is 0.049" dia. and is OK for lighter current loads. Since the QTP cutouts have...

jkudai13, Sorry to hear that. The good news is that since those mats are popular, they will come back. Manufacturing has been slowed a lot by the Wuflu lockdowns. Anything on eBay? Chris

slow poke, It's an old timey tool but a "nut splitter" should make short work of the rounded nuts. Probably need to phone a tool rental place or two to find one. edit Craftsman Automotive Nut Cracker, part number CMMT14117 end of edit HTH, Chris

jkudai13, American Muscle sells them - they are not expensive. HTH, Chris

slow poke, Love the stance of your car and those mucho macho tires, lol. I suggest sticking with the GT500 axlebacks for the moment because the exhaust note is going to be be much more robust and the MBRP's will just add to the sound level. IOW, step-wise changes so you don't get some...

hilaegis, Any good news yet? Enquiring minds want to know. :) Chris

Matt, Thanks for posting the video. You brought those tips back to life! Good work. Disclaimer: I'm no expert on polishing metal. I rely on a a piece of terry towel, metal polish, and elbow grease. My concern is scuffing a 'plain' metal surface so I don't mind taking the time to get it...

hilaegis, Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear you've been swamped at work. I know exactly what you mean by a lack of hangers between the h/x-pipe and the axlebacks. But I'm sure that JPC will get the FRPP exhaust sorted out - they have a lift, exhaust jackstands, and experienced hands...

bodon, The driveshaft is the same for both transmissions ('11 to '14). The front and rear connections are bolted connections. The transmission end does not have the old-school splined shaft connection to the driveshaft. There is a length adjustment on some driveshafts (pull or push one end...

matt5058, I'm thinking that the material must be 409 stainless rather than 304 stainless. You've got your work cut out for yourself to clean up those mufflers. :D I have spent a lot of time ogling mufflers but I do not recall having seen your second-hand mufflers. They seem to have Kooks...

hilaegis, Yowch at $672 and the smaller diameter, too. My Lethal OTA pipes are 2.75" dia. and there's no contact and plenty of clearance. The only issue I have had is the panhard brace which needed a couple of washers the brace plate (on the passenger side) to give the pipe another 1/4"...

hilaegis, Did you install new over-the-axle pipes? If so, the h-pipe may have drooped a little. Ideally, the h-pipe (or x-pipe) and the OTA pipes should be parallel (or slightly rising towards the rear) with the floor of the car. If drooping, here are the steps to take: put a floor jack...

slow poke, Stock pipe is 2.75" dia. Stock piping is stainless steel (409?) so I suggest sticking with stainless tubing (304 or 409). Aluminized pieces can be used but carbon steel and stainless steel will corrode at the joint (there is condensed water in the exhaust system and that helps...

matt5058, Good suggestions and good interweb researching. May I suggest the following: PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench, let it sit for 15 minutes, then give it a rap with the hammer (cushioned by the 2x4). If a few whacks doesn't do it, apply heat and give it a rap while the joint is still...
