lol I keep watching that video, and I swear EVERY TIME I think you are going to hit that car haha. Amazing the car stopped that quickly! That or its a depth perception issue from the video, making it look real close

Yeah the 11/12 V6's driveshaft was a diff't story. But yeah for mine, I baby Marilyn wayyyyyy too much to worry about needing an aftermarket driveshaft, imo. But who knows, maybe down the line?

Therefore the restrictor plates give you back the backpressure and low end torque you lost when the sides were open.. So seems to me the plates work somewhat similar like a catted x or h pipe does in creating enough backpressure for providing low end torque, but once you remove the cats you end up losing low end torque because there is no longer enough backpressure or resistance anymore..

Anyway, I hope my comparison between the restrictor plates and catted H/X pipe are at least somewhat accurate lol.


As for the Spyder pics.. Yes, as soon as I get them installed, I will definitely post them..

thanks Rocky! Yes, I think that logic is sound and fair. I'm curious about those Spyder's. Are you lowered already?

I never used my Brembos that much until that stop LOL. At least they work. Yeah for about 15 minutes there were no cars, then that one showed up. But I knew I had that stop sign anyways... I was stopping regardless.

Thanks Burton, as the only other scenario I could think of, is how the 3v CDCV valves in the upper intake would create a restriction even when the butterfly valves would open, but if you upgraded to the CDCV delete plates without the butterflies, supposedly some 3v owners complained about losing low end torque even after re-tuning for them, but from my understanding Ford discontinued them before the 4v Coyote went into production, so I thought by using the comparison between restrictor plates and how a catted exhaust create backpressure would provide the better example..


Anyway to answer you question.. My car is lowered with the Eibach pro kit springs which lowers my front between approx 1.3-1.4" and the rear by up to 1.5".. I also have the Koni yellow adj struts/shocks and GT500 strut mounts along with Eibach camber bolts and BMR poly adj panhard bar..

My next mods on the list.. BMR poly LCA's and relocation brackets, then plan on eventually upgrading to BMR front and rear sway bars as well..

Took mine out for a nice cruise/drive.
Great night for a drive. Hopefully I can take her out tomorrow as well.

I had some carbon fiber vinyl that I wrapped on my spoiler. It was definitely a difficult endeavor, as it was my first time wrapping anything. Had my ice help out with getting some of the bubbles out. I think it looks okay. I like the contrast.

after lots of swearing and literal blood and sweat. I replaced my front passenger o2 sensor. If anyone plans on tackling it....best of luck. Remove the battery and battery tray, it will make things a tad easier.

The new Mustang looks great. The only thing I'm not crazy about the CaliSpecial are the wheels. But, I could still live with it.
Good luck!

After 7 years I figured it was time to buy a new battery. I did that and now my clock doesn't work.

The part of the screen where you set the time doesn't work. Neither does the calendar screen.

Happened on my 2010. Disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes and then reconnect it, should reset the radio and SYNC modules, and your display should come back.
