Holy crap what a difference

[needspeed]

I had the resonators cut out and the clutch helper spring removed. The car sounds so freaking good you just can't help put want to drive it to hear it.

That spring f*cks up the clutch feel completely. Once removed it actually feels like a clutch without the artificial softness and vagueness as it comes from the factory. Just do it it is night and day better....................Steve

Pics of the resonator delete my shop did an amazing job and only charged me 88 buck for custom fabricated SS replacements welded in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics are nice, but VIDEOS and burnouts are better :rockon:

That's not a bad price for a custom res delete.

It is but I do a lot of business with them and we have a good relationship but I don't think it should cost over 150 in general. Took the guy 30 minutes max but he is damned good at what he does......Steve

I will be going to the same shop that did the deletes on my GT, was also around $100. Only thing that worried me about this one was how close the 2 pipes were, did he have to drop the mid pipes or just welded in place?

I will post pics but they cut right out with room to reinstall if you want. My replacements are welded in......Steve

Is it difficult to remove the clutch spring?

Is it difficult to remove the clutch spring?

Takes all of 30 seconds with a vise grip pliers

Doesn't removing the helper spring make depressing the clutch pedal harder? Add that to an aggressive aftermarket clutch and it would probably be like stepping on a rock. Am I mistaken?

The clutch pedal on the GT350 is waaaay over assisted.

Actually the helper spring makes the clutch so artificial and hard to drive its just wrong with it.

Without it the clutch feel just right and it it is not heavy at all it now feels like a clutch should with a smooth linear action.

Trust me I have been driving manuals for almost 40 years.......Steve

Weird indeed, and youd think with a twin disk they wouldnt need much assistance anyway.

The Focus ST guys remove them but they started having issues with it sinking down towards the floor overnight. The remedy was to put in a lighter spring from HD that gave it a much more natural feel than stock, but didn't have the sinking pedal issues.

I would suspect it could be removed, tried and drove for a bit then put back to really see the difference. Has anyone that has removed it actually reinstalled it?

No bad, true straight through design. The ones I cut out of my GT necked down quite a bit

There was a post on mustang6g, "Well guys I put mine back in as the pedal wasn't going all the way back up. Maybe by a millimeter but it bothered me so I put it back in. It wasn't a tremendously huge difference but I did have more clutch feel with it out. There are bigger problems in the world..."
