Does anybody else think that the newer mustangs just don't sound right? Not that they sound bad but just not like a proper mustang. There is no other car that you can pick out a couple blocks away like a fox body 5.0. Sn95 and new edges sound really similar. 2005+ just not the same.

That happened to me recently while I was running - I had a thought. But it quickly died of loneliness.

Only the new 5.0s. Almost sound fake to me or electronic.

The old 5.0 is so distinct and sounds so incredible.

The wife took the Notch the other day while I was outside working on Christmas lights and the wonderful sound of the 5.0 driving away was music to my ears. But I could hear the car coming down the street and knew exactly what it was without even looking.

With the exception of a big block, I don't know how it could sound any better. It does have Flowmasters on it though, but still has the cats.

That's what I'm talking about gary. It's like hearing one of your favorite songs. No sweeter song than a fox with flowmasters. Doesn't take but a few notes and you singing it to yourself. I truly believe that the fox mustang is why flowmaster is still in business today.

Congrats Jill.

I knew a guy who was an insulation contractor and he used marine plywood for the bathroom underfloor in the event of any future leaks or condensation. What do you think about that? Overkill?

Also, when electricians use knockouts in BCI I joists, is it ok to run several wires (3-4) through that 1" knockout? And is it ok to run a 220 dryer wire in the same one as 110 wires? (Don't know if there's heat buildup where they contact.)

Charlie,

Running several 110s through the same hole is not a problem. Here is a pic of the wires running to one of my sub panels. The black is the 220 feed and the yellow is the romex.

The same goes for the 220 and 110 together. BCI isn't bad to use a different hole but in studs it's best to minimize the holes to retain the strength in the stud or plate I think.

As far as the marine plywood it's a thought. Personally if it were a bad leak like from a toilet or sewer line where you run the risk of fecal matter in a leak I would want to rip it all out anyway.

We don't have a lot of plywood subfloors because we build on concrete slab on grade foundations and 95% of those are single story.

Thanks!

I'm trying to do as much under floor prep as I can - marking knockouts and some plumbing and wiring and insul - before I put the lid on. It will be easier that way rather than having to start at square 1 from underneath.
