I wasn't even going to dignify dly's comments...... I may just keep what I have because it looks better and makes more power anyway.

How is your noise and vibration now with the the Prothane's. Since I have a H-pipe hanger touching a bolt on the transmission crossmember it is hard to tell where all of the nasty sounds are coming from on my car!!! But I will say this about the Prothanes. It doesn't look like the motor is bolted to a bowl of jelley any more!

Ben,
I'll be installing mine post header. It'll probably not be until next month though.
I want to see if I can get Scott to mill mine down by 1/4" first

I agree with Larry. Finally got my shaker centered and lowered tonight where I am happy with the look. Have your Prothanes sent to me and I will take off what ever you want. No charge but shipping! But they need at least 1/4 to 3/8's taken off of them so the motor will sit at stock height.

Darrell......

Gee as I remember even before the Saleen SC (at Fort Wayne) you were a 3rd placer to my 2nd. And if my Cousin owned a Mustang Store like yours, my car would make more power too.

I don't have much more noise, but it seems like I do have much more vibration now, like it has increased over the last couple of weeks.

Tom, yes the economy is in the pooper, no reference intended to
(oldmachdude's) **** preoccupation! and I'm afraid to say the worst is yet to come, considering most of our economic base is out sourced to China. I spent 20 years working for a little O' Aircraft manufacturer based Seattle Washington, I worked with cutting edge technology, Had a Fancy smancy title and made what many would consider big bucks! and it also cost me two marriages and two children that only contact me when they need money! I walked away from it all a few years ago! don't take life to seriously.....everyone needs to vent! Just remember most things can be fixed with a good Lap Dance and a roll of duct tape Oh' and one of these wouldnt hurt......
