Took out my airaid non-oiled filter yesterday and cleaned it as per the instructions (sprayed with cleaner, flushed with cool water from the inside, allowed to dry overnight and all day today). Reinstalled it tonight and started up the car, which after a few seconds died. Started again and...

Was planning on pulling the trigger on a twin fan heat exchanger (likely Van's) at the end of last season but a few things came up so I had to put it on hold. Would like to do the upgrade because I think it's definitely worthwhile, especially if I decide to turn up the wick on power eventually...

Got it Saturday and can echo all the positive comments made by existing owners. Very refined, quality feel. Been raining here every day since, so I haven't been able to really put the car through its paces, but suffice to say you can tell it's a real handler. Meh iPhone pics, but gives an idea:

Would adding this midpipe require a tune? Magnaflow X-Pipe w/ Cats for 2007 thru 2010 GT500 Mustang I've seen some sites that say it would, but I didn't need one for my 04 cobra when I added a magnaflow catted x to the Borla stingers I was running. Considering duplicating that combo on the...

Anyone know the differrence between these two exchangers: Shelby High Performance Heat Exchanger and... Shelby American Competition Heat Exchanger $400 difference, but the only thing I saw in the description is the second one supposedly cools better than the first. Doesn't give any...

Ended up getting some BMR billet LCAs and BMR adjustable UCAs installed a few weeks back. All are poly bushed. Also lowered the car on eibach prokit springs. I was expecting to get a bit more harshness and suspension noise (particularly due to the uppers), but I've noticed some distinct...

About a month ago, I added a Borla stinger catback to my car. I really like the sound/tone (considerably deeper than stock) and the fact it has essentially no drone. The only thing I wish it had was a bit more volume. I've been toying with getting a set of longtubes and catted x-pipe...

Don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but maybe 2 months ago, my clutch pedal developed an issue where it "clicks" a few times as you step on or release it. Was perfectly smooth before, but then just one day started doing it. It's not a major issue by any means, but I'm just not fond...

Found this to also be an issue on my old 04 cobra. Is there a method/product to use for cleaning the clear plastic (round on the shelby) that covers the speedo and tach, which won't lead to scratching? I find just using a microfiber cloth to remove dust ends up leaving a "smeared" look, but I...

I'm planning to do a first serious detail on my 2010 GT500. Bought it new in Sept. The car is performance white with grey stripes. I don't really feel like doing 85 steps (no offense to those who do). Washed and claybar already last week, so now I was considering polish and sealant (maybe...

Just got this catback and crossover x-pipe installed: http://www.borla.com/products/product_detail.aspx?prod_sku=140320 Love the overall tone - much deeper, and very smooth, with no drone while cruising. My only "issue" is it's not quite as loud as I would like. Seems just a bit quieter than...

In the process of choosing upper and lower control arms, but as soon as that's taken care of, it's on to exhaust. Right now, I think I've narrowed my choices down to these two: Corsa Sport Axleback: Corsa Performance Exhaust - CORSA Products or Borla "stinger" catback with crossover...

Recently, I've had some very useful discussions and advice on the subject of control arms with members like Tob, Unleashed Beast, and of course Van at Revan Racing. I'm still trying to make a final decision about what I'm going to go with, but have my upper narrowed down to a couple options...

I picked up a '10 GT500 a few months ago and notice that when turning at low speeds (say, creeping into a driveway) there is a low but noticeable "groaning" noise that sounds as though it's coming from the front end somethere. Anyone have an idea what this might be, and whether this is an...

I know it's an endless debate about what oil brand/weight to run with these cars, but I figured I'd ask anyway. I'm due for an oil change to synthetic (car is sitting around 1200 miles right now, and has had one oil change already, but still on regular oil). I'm planning to run the car in...

First off, the stock GT500 wheels are among the nicer stock wheels to be put on a mustang, imo. However, I quite like the multi-spoke look as well. I'm considering replacing my stock wheels with either RTRs (saw them in person on a local new 5.0 car, and they looked great!), or Forgestar...

Haven't been able to find any decent 2010 GT500 clips or reviews with that axleback (or the catback with additional x crossover pipe). Had stingers on my 04 cobra and they were really nice - very popular on that car. Just curious how they sound on the 5.4L, and whether they add much drone...

I've seen multiple online sources saying the stock 19" split spoke rims on the 2010 GT500 are forged. For example: 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 I was always under the impression they were cast, and the only ones that are forged are the 2011+ svtpp wheels. So who is right? :shrug: Edit...

Seems a lot of people are less than thrilled with some of the catbacks they've tried on their cars. Correspondingly, there appear to be many who like the stock mufflers (myself included), apart from the fact they're too quiet. I've seen that several people are running their stock mufflers...

Planning on tinting my performance white 2010 GT500, and am debating between 35% and 20%. I obviously want the benefit of cooling the interior as well as good looks, but don't want to run into issues during night or rain driving. Anyone do 20% and run into any problems that made them regret...

Just picked up a 2010 GT500 and so far I'm loving it! I'm planning a few, cheap mods for the time being, like tint, hood struts, etc. I'd also like to replace the stock paper filter, but I didn't want to do a full intake yet (leaning towards JLT CF), because I understand the car needs to be...

Can guys with good know-how on this chime in with advice? I've heard a lot of different things, but am trying to find some degree of consensus. Car is brand new, but has about 50 miles on it. Is it already worth doing a first oil change if I'm stopping by a dealership to pick it up right...

I don't see a ton of GT500 exhaust clips on youtube that aren't full-exhaust, as opposed to just a catback. I currently have an 04 cobra with the "usual" Borla Stinger (combined with catted magnaflow X). Love the sound, and was hoping to get something that had a similar aggressive tone, but...

Car is new and I should be getting a very good deal. I'm wondering what, if any, issues/TSBs, etc I should be aware of if I end up picking up this car. I'm not sure if this is an early-run car, if that makes any difference or not. Don't know a ton about these details, as until recently, I...

Just cleaned my filter the other day, and realized again how "meh" the plastic heat shield is that comes with the kit. Also, it's a bit of a PITA to take off when cleaning, so I was wondering if it was a big deal to simply not use it? I can't really see how it protects the unit from engine...
