We've got about the same mods, how do YOU get traction?

I don't have traction anymore. I find by feathering the fun pedal until I'm into 3rd is the only way. Spring 03 = DR's
:lol:

:burnout:

Don't get your rims stole like Chevy Chase over there in ESTL.

Let us know if you can get out one night, we've been trying to get all the area 03's together or a few brews...maybe this will be the time it happens.

Where is the meeting place in STL?

 

[Rwick7]

We usually go to Hooters in South County...but there are plenty of other places. You guys can come over to Fast Eddies in Alton

Those that do, be aware that the '01 mats have carpet gripping dimples on the bottom which contacts the solid plastic pad is under the pedals. The dimples will be ripped off if you don't put a pad in between them.

Any updates on the headers? , I am close to ordering the bassani catback and x pipe, If I could get the whole 9 yards and do the full install at once, that would be great.

Will the Bassani Mids allow for the trans to be dropped for service?? ie . new clutch, etc. Without taking down the headers?

Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the update/info.

(pm me those pics) ;-)

I know the production headers haven't been built/released, but you said that the K-member didn't need to be removed...
Does the steering arm need to be colapsed?

Does the starter need to be removed?

What about the recirculation tubing (someone help me with the technical name for that please)? Will these have to be welded or bent?

Is there any welding or bending of existing tubing required or can someone just do this with a good ratchet set and 8 hours of free time?

Thanks again for the info. :thumbsup:

I think your looking at mid January at the earliest but that is only my guess.

I don't recall the headers being in the way. You would have to drop the X pipe and the coupler or leg that goes from X pipe to headers.

I know the production headers haven't been built/released, but you said that the K-member didn't need to be removed...

I don't think so. By installing one tube at a time and sliding into a coupler is how they were able to get into such a tight spot. You shouldn't have to remove starter.

THey are trying to put together everything you need to hook up to a Bassani X. You would have to cut and or weld to a factory or other brand cat.

I am taking car back in 2 weeks for more tweeking of headers. I'll confirm the installation process and status at that time. Then I can dyno the car with headers on.

Anxiously looking forward to how this comes out! Dont' forget to write!

Can't wait to hear the sound files. I have the catted X and catback from Bassani and am looking seriously at their mid length headers when available.

It would be great to be able to hear it before hand as I've never done headers on a Mustang and I really have no clue how much it changes the sound characteristics.

I keep hearing it described as "muscle car tone", which is what I LOVE, so I'm hopeful.

The deeper the rumble the better.

Stop it .... your getting me HOT .... :rolling: :rolling:

Just kidding you :lol: :lol:

HAHAHAH!!

Now THAT was funny!

 

[fakesnake.com]

Any Southern California guys with a camcorder that can record the sound?

 

[T3 Cobra]

I would like to hear just a hint of "tinny" at idle through the headers.
