I was watching the B-J auction when the WD40 car comes up for auction. As the announcer (Mike Joy I think) is talking about all the nifty things on the car he mentions that ford has a 2011 5.0 out on display "turned on its side" so you can see all the underside of the car. When he gets to the exhaust he mentions some washers you can remove to allow more sound out before the rear wheels. Has this been discussed before or is it something new ? That might explain the lil washers shipped with the GT500 mufflers some of us have purchased. I will have to wait till its is at least above 15 Deg F outside before I put the car up to look around under there. Anyone else notice these supposed washers ? If not thanks for reading and have a nice day
Thanks

 

The Boss cars have a baffle in the side pipes that acts like a dump.

Maybe it's something similar?

 

Ya i thought that was what he was talking about but he says All 5.0's have a washer (or washer stack) you can take out to adjust the sound level and i went ... "Huh ??" if so then its just another lil easter egg ford put in without telling anyone LOL

 

The car on it's side in the FORD display is a Boss 302. I think Mr. Joy is slightly confused if he thinks they all have that feature.

 

Mr. Joy is confused about a lot of things, has anyone else caught how he has to add that the Boss 429, Mach 1 and others are fastbacks when it`s obvious that it is and came no other way ?

 

i thought he said the car had side exit and rear exit exhaust .. you could unshim the side outlets if you wished .

 

dang i was hoping he was right .. either way there were some awesome Mustang p*** thru the block and I was very happy the they got $450K for the grabber blue 2012 Boss 302 that was neat..

 

The BOSS 302's come with a "quad exhaust". Normal rear outlets plus new side outlets that exit just in front of the rear wheels. This was added so the driver/passenger could hear more exhaust rumble. However, in order to pass vehicle inspection in states that have noise restriction, a spacer was added to the side outlets that would restrict flow and volume. These spacers (about 1/2 inch thick) are easily removable once you get the car home. Then you have full unrestricted race car sound that's unlike anything on the road. This might be the coolest thing FORD has done in years.

 

yeah he was talking about the boss, took me a bit to figure that out too

BTW...450 grand for the Boss302LS

 

$450k for serial #1,,, 1 of 1,,, only grabber blue EVER to be produced. I'm sure the dealerships won't price gouge based on that. They'll sell it at MSRP if you ask nicely and bring then some homemade cookies.

 

Well i think they said only one ever produced THIS model year i am sure they will sell a bunch of them in 2013 ... or maybe not but it was fun to watch and i like the GB and that roof dont recall if it was paint or glass but i am guessing black paint

 

It wasnt Mike Joy that said that...it was the other guy who always says V..I..N
He must not have realized that it was a BOSS on its side and not a GT

 

MSRP my butt! My brother just put a deposit on a LS out of a store in Dallas. They still don't know MSRP, but they know they will be getting 5K over. At this time they also won't do a drop ship.
