    OEM Boss 302 side exit exhaust - fits 2011-2014 GT - local pickup in CT

    This OEM exhaust assembly, part number M-5220-MB was discontinued long ago and I worked pretty hard to save up for and buy this set and it turned out to be the best mod I ever did to my 2011 GT. It created the absolute perfect exhaust note and volume. If it would fit on my S550, it would be...

    Why are you sticking with your S197?

    Don't get me wrong, I love almost everything about my 2011 GT. It still feels quick, has been extremely reliable, still looks good (to me anyway)...when the 2013 refresh came along, I loved it but not that much more than my 2011. The engine upgrades were insignificant...so I held onto my...

    SVE R350 wheels?

    Is anyone running the GT350R replicas from SVE on their S197? If so, how do you like them? What size tire are you running? Any quality/fitment concerns? LMR is offering a package with 305 rear tires...any concerns there? https://lmr.com/products/mustang-sve-r350-wheels-10-14

    Vibration: New Ford Motorsports one-piece driveshaft-- what next?

    Upgraded the shaft in the 2007 GT500...vibration starts to show up at higher speeds. I know this isn't a new problem...but so far, I haven't found advice on the next steps. Is this just a matter of trying a different shaft? Having the shaft balanced? (I'd think that a $700 tube would...

    Coyote owners: How's your AC compressor holding up?

    I have been hearing for a couple years that the AC Compressor, a relatively pricey part, is likely to head straight for the junkyard in the sky, some time around 40,000 miles. I gather that this at the very least, applies to the 2011-2012 cars. I don't know if this also applies to the...

    Alternatives to OEM Boss 302 gauges?

    Yep...the OEM gauge pod looks great...but it's $1200! What alternatives out there might shave a bunch of cash off of this upgrade http://www.americanmuscle.com/boss-guage-pack-1012.html

    Are people still "Anti-BAMA" (tunes)?

    First, I just want to say that I've been thrilled with AM's customer service over the years. These guys have taken care of me a few times in ways that I consider to be above and beyond the call of duty. I have bought plenty of parts from other good vendors but AM stands out as being consistently...

    How's your 2011-2012 GT holding up?

    So the first of the Coyotes are getting near the 6 year old mark (since some of you guys starting getting your Coyote GTs in early 2010). How many miles do you have? What mods? How is your car holding up? What has broken/failed/worn out? Any rust? My 2011 GT is a 300A/6spd/BBP car...

    Oil Catch Can/separator

    Hey, guys. I did some searching but didn't come up with the answer. I hope this isn't a repeat! How critical is the oil catch can on early 5.4L GT500s? Which one did you go with? I have a JLT on my Coyote and it had some quality issues (plastic fittings) but I believe they have revised...

    JLT catch can causing vacuum leaks?

    IIRC, JLT makes a similar catch can for pretty much every S197 version so it seems like this question would be best asked here... One of the first mods that I did to my 2011 GT was to add the JLT catch can. While they make them for both cylinder banks, I read that the passenger side was the...

    Anyone running wheel spacers?

    I'm missing my stock BBP wheels (2011) and I'm thinking about swapping back fro a while but after a year with my RTR wheels, the OEM wheels are going to look too "tucked under." What's the biggest spacer that you can get away with that won't significantly impact safety or the longevity of...

    New 2007 GT500 in the family-- TRACTION: who has it and where can I get some?

    My father picked up a 2007 GT500 back in the summer and he has been driving the heck out of it. It's 100% stock (aside from the OEM KR catback and the Ford Motorsports shifter). He just rolled 7k miles...and I hope he keeps laying down the miles, per Mr. Shelby's instructions. So I have driven...

    Long term experience with "extreme performance" DOT tires (5,000 miles or more?)

    It goes without saying that the lifespan of the stickiest of the street legal tires is going to be very short compared to a "normal" tire...but it also seems to be true that some age better than others. What DOT legal sticky tires have you driven for more than a few heat cycles? How did they...

    1"/1.5" drop: does this require camber bolts?

    I did some searching on this, found conflicting info... What do yo guys think? Without adjustable camber plates, are camber bolts required for a mild drop? Thanks for any opinions!! My Eibach Pro springs (yeah, I know some of you guys hate them...) are going in as soon as the garage...

    Backroads corner-carving: What kind of setup for fun/safety/performance

    I goes without saying that we all obey the speedlimits...but with that in mind, is fun to a seek out a curvy back road and push a car a bit. Much of the talk in this forum is centered around competition in auto-x and road course driving...but do any of you guys focus on road handling and...

    275/35/19 tires on stock Brembo/Track Pack wheel?

    Guys, I've nearly narrowed down my suspension choice and I'm about ready to order...but I need tires as well and I'm looking at a couple of options for wheels, one of which is to hold the budget for next time and just get the optimal tires for my current wheels. 275/35/19 is about .5" shorter...
