    Headers/mid-pipe question

    Hey guys, please excuse my stupidity as I just picked up an 08 GT which is my first non fox body Mustang. Currently I have a Magnaflow axleback and nothing else, but want to pick up BBK long tubes. Of course I would have to get a mid-pipe to go with it but that's where my question comes...

    Shifter issues

    Hey guys. I had my clutch replaced only a few months ago. Before I did that the car shifted fine. Afterwards the shifter felt loose and sloppy and now it is really, really hard to get into gear. Sometimes I have to shift so hard you can hear the rear end jerk. The shop that did my clutch...

    Leaking power steering fluid...

    Hey guys. I have a 1990 Mustang 5.0 that is leaking power steering fluid at a fast rate. Once I fill it back up it is very driveable but squeaks when the wheel is turned to each side. The fluid leaks pretty fast and it gets harder to turn after maybe only 30 minutes worth of driving. I know...

    T-5 Transmission swap

    would you get slightly used internals??

    Would you buy parts slightly (as in <10,000miles) used for a rotating assembly (Cobra crank, H-beam rods, and some sort of piston)? I ask bc the cost is sometimes 150-200 $'s cheaper and its a biiiig project for me so cost is a big thing.....
