Oooh... so close! Too bad you can't just go and get it!

Makes you wish you would've ordered it 2 days earlier, huh?

(Happens to me all the time!)

LEO_06GT

tks for rubbing salt in the wound.

LEO_06GT

I'm getting a set of side skirts from another tms member. He has a black stang so they're painted. I got them figuring I clean up mine and those and depending which one's look better I could keep them around and only use them for shows. I figured for $40 plus shipping its an investment on a part that I would say takes the biggest beating next to the front bumper on a daily driver.

TacoBill

What are friends for?

TacoBill

That sounds like a good deal. Can't hurt keeping an extra set in the garage.

LEO_06GT

Going crazy waiting for next Saturday already. Can't wait to hear the thunderous roar of my exhaust after the O/R H-pipe install. I think I'm going to Del Amo mall or the Galleria mall after the install to set off some car alarms.


If only I had ordered a day sooner.

TacoBill

It's going to be a looong week for you.

You may as well put your order in with Doug this morning so you can have it by the weekend. Just have the following info handy; trans type, 4 digit calibration code, tire size, Axle code or gear ratio (see sticker on rear differential housing), and mod list (for you, K&N CAI and O/R H). All that's left is to figure out what tunes you want.

I'd recommend calling the order in straight through Doug, that way you'll know if it's in stock and have any questions answered. I think it's a 4 day delivery.

I'm going to use my eBay "commission" money (for the '66) to order my tuner! I'm not sure how much he is going to give me... he said it would be a substantial amount, but I wouldn't be able to retire on it. Even $200 would be half!

TacoBill

That's great! Whatever amount he gives you, I'm sure it'll help pay for the XCal2.

I just read in another thread that Doug won't be back (home?) until Wednesday. So that means Leo is out of luck for getting his tune by the weekend.

89Trooper

Yep... looking forward to getting rid of that drive-by-wire lag.

LEO_06GT

Bill- I was already a step ahead and was planning to order my tuner today. I guess I'll just go ahead and wait untill the middle of next week now. Last time I spoke with him he said he's getting the tuner only orders out within the same day. He said the only thing that slows down his orders is when he has to wait around for the various intakes he sells to come in.

Tom-I'd say let's see who get's their tune first but even if I get mine first your the real winner considering it might cost you between $0-200. I guess it pays to have ebay ad posting skills.

H-pipe udate
GARDENA,
CA, US 09/18/2006 7:50 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY

TacoBill

Can't hurt to give Doug a call today... you never know.

Looks like your H will delivered today. Too bad it has to sit in the garage til the weekend.

btw- I'll find out what the total width of the OEM H is, so you can see if it'll fit into the trunk area.

Keep poking I just might cave in and call.

Once again if only I'd ordered a day sooner or in person and asked them to ship it that same day.

TKS but don't worry if it doesn't fit I'll just go back and pick-up my inlaws truck. It's only a 10 minute drive. BTW do you know the width or widths of the pipes where the clamp goes? I was reading some of your threads about it last night and I was debating picking up a better clamp before I head down there. Probably like the one Don W posted.

Questions about the O/R H

How's it sound at cruising speed?

Did you have to adjust your exhuast tips after the install?

89Trooper

Leo, I've gotten Bill and Daryl on certain things, so now it's your turn.

Change "Viynl" to "Vinyl" in your sig... it's driving me nuts!

TacoBill

Pypes tubing diameter: 2.50"
Pypes H slip fitting diameters:
Female OD (drivers side): 2.150"
Male OD (passengers side): 1.990"

Supplied clamp is stamped 2 1/4"



It's pretty tame at around 70MPH and above. Below that, the resonance (drone) from 1700 to 1900 in 5th gear is pretty deafening, this is mainly from the Stingers. I'm not sure how yours will sound being an auto with the Flowmasters.
Here's a short video of the first test drive with the O/R H. We kept it mellow and as you can hear, it's not too bad at all.

When I reconnected the mid-pipe clamps, everything lined up like it was before. If your tips are a little off now, we can correct it at the time we put the mid-pipe clamps back on.

LEO_06GT

Tom- fixed.

Bill-Tks for the measurements. I'll see if I can find a better clamp before Saturday.

Decided that I'm getting the smoked overlays for my turn signals and rear side markers instead of switching them out for the clears. I think the clears look to out of place on a black car. I'm getting my overlays from TMS member bluebatmobile who's here in San Diego.

89Trooper

That will look good, too. Anything to tone down the amber.

Are the clear's gone at Mustang Tuning... I can't find them. ?

LEO_06GT

Nope. The one's with the black housing are here.

The clear ones like yours are here.

FYI this site is selling them both for $30 less

89Trooper

Wow, you did find them cheaper! Think it's the exact same product... just sold by a different company?

TacoBill

Leo (and the rest of you Flowmaster AT guys), found a sound clip of the Pypes O/R H with Flowmaster American Thunders.

Sounds good to me!

btw- Good choice with the Pypes H-Pipe, here's a clip of of the O/R X-Pipe (with Flows)... (imo)
