If you can't get the clearance from normal adjustment loosen the bolt on the band and you can twist the pipe around some to gain more clearance without having the whole assembly hanging too low.

Ive noticed when driving with the stereo turned all the way down or even off i get some feedback in the speakers. i also think i can hear the rear diff whine a bit at speed. never having owned a car with a torsen, i chalked that up to normal. it's not that loud and if you are talking or have the radio at any level you cant hear it. anyone else noted this?

I recommend you contact your Ford dealer as soon as possible to get these issues diagnosed and make sure there is nothing wrong. Also, please message me with your dealer, mileage, VIN, and contact info so I can escalate this for you.

I've have also noticed a quit gear wine while cursing with very light throttle. Is this normal, or do I need to have it looked at?

yeah like i said early on, i chalked it up to normal for the all gear torsen. i pulled my new aug issue of 5.0 out of the mailbox today and it has a huge tech story with loads of pics and cut up parts to see. the torsen cut out is very cool to see. i had no idea what one looked like on the inside.

While at Sebring there was a red Boss that had the discs removed, they installed it back very close to the front wheel splash guard thingy and it melted it so be careful

Yea that should have read the rear wheel but the front guard thing. There is nothing anywhere about removing them, so far I have no plans to do so, I did remove all the dust shields.
