Thought I'd share some pics I took of my car....UNDER my car, courtesy of a local oil change place. It was hard to get a good angle on the rear suspension from the oil change pit.

What is the big square muffler looking thing in the exhaust? Two pipes go in, two come out. Also curious about the braided wrap over both pipes near the trans. And also, why would they make the front air dam curved not straight?

 

Thanks for sharing. Nice clear pics. Good detail.

 

Big box is likely a resonator, but dang, it is big! Braided metal things are flex joints to account for engine moving a bit on its mounts.

 

Is your pony an eco-boost? I saw an interview with a Ford Corp Engineer talking about three distinct air dams for the 2015 Mustang. I believe he said that the curved air dam was designed to enhance the air flow through the EB front grills. The EB has speed controlled grill shutters.
If you look closely at the curved air dam you can see the "root" attachment points for a slightly curved air dam for the other model.

 

Mine is the V6. Good catch, I do see the holes where the other air dam would attach if it were an EB. But I wonder why the shape on this one.

 

Just looked at my library of 2015 GT underbody photos. The GT uses the slightly curved attachment points for its air dam. I couldn't find the Ford YouTube video with the design engineer showing the the three air-dam shapes.
The shapes were determined using wind tunnel trials.

 

PIc 8 what in the heck is that?, Ive never seen bldg materials used under a car before.

 

My question also. Never seen a braided cable hooked to what looks to be a type of turn buckle held on by three little clamps. Strange indeed.

 

hahaha....I assume you're talking about the last pic of the front underbody shield...that cable was for the netting in the oil change pit I was standing in, not part of the car.

 

I thought Ford had lost it, thanks for letting us know.

 

I'm feeling much better now......

 

Here is a better look at the front end, sans cables. This was taken at a different shop.

 

My PP doesn't have that curve piece. Just a flat under piece all the way back to the oil pan. Is that exclusive for the perf pack?

 

1 piece driveshaft?

 

I'm not sure what that does. I do not have the performance pack. The curved air dam might only be for V6.

 

Pony, it's all about aerodynamics for better mpg's. Merry Christmas.
