I think I have a C&L manifold over in the garage. How much is it worth these days?

If I only did idle, I knew you'd complain about me not doing drive. If you were going to complain either way, I figured I'd save myself the hassle and just wait until I could do it all at the same time. :whistling:

You hush your pretty mouth. It's been raining. Have you seen my tires? Sure, I understand the skepticism. The scenario, as described, was how my Borlas droned as well; when warm and under high load. In my experience, the true skull splitting wonder that is drone, can be more than a little...

Typically I wouldn’t post about a pair of mufflers, but I’m so damn impressed by AWE that I’m going to make an exception. I have an ‘11 GT500, and it’s loud -- think lots of boost through a healthy exhaust. My old mufflers, Borla ATAKs, sounded okay at best, but they weren't quite aggressive...

They bolted straight up. I have never seen this level of craftsmanship or fitment on a set of Mustang mufflers before. Will post another thread with more pictures and my thoughts. And yes, there are various exhausts for S197s: 2005-2010: two hanger design for both GT and GT500 2011-2012: three...

It's difficult to explain, but I can give you a good example of it. You know how you can make an empty beer bottle sing by blowing over the opening with a certain force? Same principle. Resonance.

I went through 8 different combinations of exhaust on the old 3V before I finally realized what killed drone: Helmholtz resonators tuned for the correct frequency range. Without going too far into the technical side of things -- because I'm still not sure my understanding is completely correct...

Yeah, blame Dave. I do. He's lazy. Sent you an email.

Excellent, I'll drop you a line -- but you may need to update your signature then. Email address is not in there.

Sell me a set for my GT500 at a good price, and I'll do the test fit. How about that? I'll even give you videos and pictures. Been looking for a set of Corsas for the car for a long time, but didn't like the price.

I like the helmholtz resonator implementation. That's clever. Why only for GTs though? You can stick a set of GT500 mufflers on a 5.0, so why not the other way?

Meh, I'd go turbos for max effort. I say that having a 4.0 Whipple on a built GT500. Also have a friend with a 4.5 on a built 5.8. I'd go turbos.

It's not as much a "lock-out" as it is a "this-is-slightly-harder-to-push-through". In short, I've just pushed through in the couple of tr6060 swaps I've done, as well as on the T56 Magnum I have now.

I think this might be the most impressive max effort build out of a 3V that I have seen; '06 3V, '14 interior, built 10.5:1 4V, twin 67s, 9" rear, 1500rwhp, and still a manual trapping 190+ in the half mile.

If you end up going to VIR, throw a message my way. We're up there often -- stupid often.

I keep trying to get my wife to drive my GT500, but she insists she's still not comfortable with 1k rwhp. She hardly even wants to touch my ZR1, and it's not because she's not a good driver -- I think she's faster around VIR in her ZR-1 than I would be in that car.

I run a 295/30-18 Toyo R888R on an 18x10 Forgeline on the front of the C6 ZR1 for dry track days. The rear sees 335 on an 18x12. For wet days I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, but on 19s, because they also double as street tires. The R888R is a very, very good dual purpose tire, and I'm getting...

I have a 1k+ rwhp, big Whipple GT500. A good friend has an 850rwhp, twin turbo, auto S550. Both cars are deep 9 second cars, but they go about it completely differently. It depends on what you want to do with the car. They both have their strong sides.

I don't. Needs more blower.

Yes, the car was softer after removal. It would twist a little more. This speed bump I used to go over diagonally, one wheel at a time, would make the car creak. I stuck the braces back on, and the creaking stopped. Then I took the braces back off because F that. In practical terms, however, I...

Those are the ones I got as well. I didn't have a follower or lash adjuster issue, but I figured 'why not'. I had broken other parts for less.

Sorry to see this, Billy. If you need parts, I still have a bunch of new and old parts from my forged rebuild that I need to get rid of.

I doubt that anything is going to change at this point, but I'll add my two cents anyway... $0.01) I had the exact same thing happen when I was running the Livernois limiters: my passenger side phaser cracked. I was running aggressive cams as well. My opinion is that once you go aggressive...

I wouldn't want to run the stock shocks and struts at a too lowered position. They're crap. Can't control much with stock valving -- especially not when effectively bumping the spring rate up and not allowing them travel. Get some dampers that work with the spring rate you want to run. That...

Can I just throw out a big thumbs-up to Apex wheels? We took my neighbor's 2016 M3 with only a tune and Apex wheels to the drag strip, and ran an 11.3 second quarter. Then we took the same car to VIR and ran a 2:12 around Full course. Awesome car, awesome wheels. .....now, why no Corvette...
