Idk if I’ve asked yet, but does anyone have recommendations what rear end to get and what company?
Question For anybody that might be following this thread.
Do you guys have any questions with anything, or would like a video to cover any topic? Car setup, tire pressures, drifting techniques, stuff about using a mustang, ect. My whole
Goal with this car and the videos are to educate about using a newer chassis for drifting, and just to help grow the sport
Also my clutch return spring doesn’t work too well. The clutch flings a bit when a release it. Anyone have advice?

That 8.8 is way stronger than your needs, you just need to put it back together with 4.56 gears and set your rear suspension to let the rear end unload easier.Idk if I’ve asked yet, but does anyone have recommendations what rear end to get and what company?
By PD blower I meant positive displacement blower. So roots and twin screw superchargers. They'll give you the low end torque you need in higher gears as the boost will come in almost immediately. However a correctly sized turbo will have the same effect so it really depends on what you're willing to deal with.
As for the clutch pedal, what do you mean when you say the clutch flings? Not enough resistance?
If will terminate just behind the driver, I would at least try to get turn downs on it to direct the exhaust gasses away from the cabin and help direct the sound out and away.Potentially dumb question, but is it okay to run with only headers and an X pipe? I’m thinking of throwing the pypes mid pipe on and keeping the rest of the tubing off. I’m trying to make this thing sound like it can hold a candle to all the Loud ass ls cars lol

Just finished removing the rear end. Wasn’t too bad, only wish I had an air powered or electric impact that was the L shaped one. Would have made it a lot easier. When I get a chance next week I’m going to take the rear end down to get it re welded, I believe the interanals are fine too.

In regards to loud. I have Long tube headers, Off Road H pipe, and the Pypes Pipe Bomb exhaust on my car. Aside from open headers, you can't get any louder and it sounds AMAZING. It is soo controlled. So clean, but when in WOT it's louder than you could ever expect a full exhaust to be. It is completely a straight through design. I could roll a golf ball out the back from my headers to the tip of my exhaust if I don't consider the over axel part stopping the roll. lol The youtube videos don't do it justice. Most of the videos online don't have equipment to properly capture and recreate the sheer loud it has when under WOT. The responses I get from people that love loud clean exhausts is amazing. My own brother was completely shocked at how loud it is under WOT and he is the one that suggested the Pypes cat back portion. lol
However, for the street people, me, if you drive normal it is as docile as any other exhaust. I could give you a video of it, but like I said, I would not be able to completely capture it. If you are ever near north alabama give me a ring. haha.
Do they come with any warranty or projected mileage? (Thinking about cheap daily tires)
Edit: Where'd you that price?
Also, didn't you say you put 4:10 gears in already? How short is 2nd? I wonder if putting 3:53s back in will help 2nd be more usable since 3rd is too long. At least until you can boost the power some more. I haven't ever been in a drift environment where I could even think of 3rd gear. Does it feel close to usable? Iask because I have some mbr motormounts on my car and the drive line feel is better and more direct than i would expect. It completey cured 1st to 2nd grinding too. I feel i got rid of some power loss too. So, if third feels almost usable, maybe mounts, 1 piece driveshaft, and 17s would help. I would just hate running 17s due to look. Us mustang peeps get enough hate in drift scene already. Lol At least with the 4:10s, motor mounts, and 1 piece drive shaft, you can still use them even after moarr power.
I doubt you need to brace it with welded tubes, post some pics so we can see how she looks.Rear end is back and the axle tubes are fully welded. super happy with the work. I don't think I can afford to grab an axle tube brace yet but I think it should be fine how it is for now. Once I plan on adding more power I'll throw one on first
