I installed my headers last week and to compliment them I just ordered a MAC off road h-pipe from LRS. A Pro 5.0 shifter from Mustangs Unlimited is also on the way. Finally, a fresh set of Falken Ziex ZE-512 rubber is coming from DTD.

Next up I think i'm gonna get a rear-end rebuild kit and some 3.55s to throw in at the same time. I noticed a very large leak of gear oil right where the driveshaft meets the differential. I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but the driveline has been giving me slack when I let off the gas (kinda jerks a little when you let off) I'm thinking that needs to be addressed before long. Only problem is I know I can't rebuild a rear-end or install gears myself and I don't know of any professionals around here who will do it without screwing up, so I think I might make an appointment at CJ Pony Parts all the way down in Harrisburg, if the price of labor is fair.

After that I believe its on to new rear control arms and better forms of chassis stiffening.

 

Good stuff! Keep us posted.

 

oh jeez, I forgot to mention the MAC Straight Shot CAI I ordered from Central Florida Motorsports! It was 30 bucks cheaper than LRS and came with free shipping!

 

"...I don't know of any professionals around here who will do it without screwing up..."

They must be very professional!

 

If they get paid to do a job, I consider them a "professional" but that doesn't mean they're a good professional.

 

heres some pics...

before the MAC Straight Shot:




after (I should have cleaned the smudges, it actually has a mirror like finish)




this air filter element is freaking huge







this thing is awesome, it has a much more solid feel and its even more fun to row through the gears. its almost a shame to cover it up with the boot

 

so how does that H-pipe sound

 

How does that 600 dollar exhuast rattle sound on that new-but-trying-to-look-old-because-ford-forgot-why-they-changed-the-design-of-the-mustang-over-thirty-years-ago-in-the-first-place craptastic '06?
(I don't warranty my work.)






j/k, but seriously... S197s are crap, I won't start about the overzealous owners.


the h-pipe will go on this sunday if theres space in your driveway and it doesn't rain again

go back to your s197 forum where they list Zanio as a mod, and aren't joking about it

 

hahah i couldn't agree more about the first part, isn't it Zaino? Haha anyways the h pipe mod should come out sweet, good luck with all, car looks good!

 

Yes, I transposed the I and the N.

 

hahah i thought it was a typo but was just checking to see if they came out with a shoe polish that im unaware of ;-)

 

now im going to guarantee rain, and i wont let you light any of my quarter sticks tonight

 

I'll just throw a match in the whole box of em and run

 

!!

 

i agree with both of you guys

 

anyhoo... H-pipe is installed, its loud.
