What have you done to your mustang today?

[Sky Render]

Those 18x10s I sold you fit up front with only minimal rubbing at full lock with 285s mounted on them. You could probably just measure those and do a few calculations...

They're still sitting stacked in the basement. Still not sure what I'm gonna do with them, lol.
I have some small 4-5mm spacers I could put on, I've used them before with no issues.
I'm close to slapping some old tires on them so I can burn them off

With 285/40R18s, those caused rubbing on the front struts only at FULL steering lock. I would bet that even a 2.5-mm spacer would fix that.

Vorshalg doesn't hold the offset close the chest on the 18x10 Forgestar wheels and they have it plainly listed on their website:
https://vorshlag-store.com/collecti...f14-18x10-et42-wheel-5x114-3-s197-mustang-new

However, with the 18x11 Forgestar's, Vorshalg does keep those numbers a secret and the ET's are NOT stamped/listed on the wheels anywhere.

If the new wheels are 18x10 with 42mm offset like the Forgestars in the link above, that's almost the same specs as the AMR's I got from you. Those things are 45mm offset. So yeah, a thin spacer would fix it.

SCIENCE!!!!

I love science.

I actually bought the MBRP's over the winter (found a good deal on a set online). I had them on the car briefly in the garage but did not drive with them. They sound amazing but I think they are probably just too loud for a daily. I suppose I could try actually driving with them but based on idling/revving, they were too much.

TBH I even have high flow cats and I'm not sure how the MBRP's are quieter than Borla Stingers for you

There was a big difference in driving and overall volume. Now when romping WOT it can get to Stinger volume. Idle is actually a little louder. Sounds more crisp and chops more actually. The borlas seem to mellow out or smooth out the idle more and hide some of the chop. But honestly big difference in driving. I would recommend to try again and drive with them.

It's why there are so many different exhausts available. I sold my MBRPs because they were too quiet. I've got LTs, ORH, and FR500s and everyone asks how I don't get arrested. I had convinced myself that, yeah, my car was too loud and so I bought the MBRPs. Put them on, drove them for two miles, turned around and came home and realized I didn't smile once while driving. It was a nice deep mellow sound, but after I put the FR500s back on I knew I was done. I would probably have a different setup if it was my DD.

They get a bit louder as you put some miles on them. I have no idea how people say they are way too quiet. I mean if my borlas were a 9/10 on loud I'd rate these a 7 or 8. Now when getting it I'd say 9. But just normal driving easy 7. But I have noticed most guys put them on drive once and say its too quiet. I absolutely love them and will never use another again. Only other is the fr500s but these sound close but also I love the tips on these and the volume is right.

Well, maybe I'll do that. I can't keep these Edelbrocks on anyway so might as well try out the MBRP's. I also love the looks of the MBRP system, though I hate the non adjustable tips as I've been having difficulty getting those types to line up correctly on my car.

My understanding was the rasp comes from the LTH. Not the mufflers.

I have kooks long tubes and off-road H and have some rasp. It's not from my FM outlaws.

Removing the cats also has an effect as well. For your particular setup, I'd look into adding resonators as your best solution for getting rid of rasp and also reducing any drone you may have.

Edit: It was trumpeting that I was intending to describe, not rasp.

They clear because of Vorshlag's magical offsets that they won't tell anybody what they are.
I wonder, do they erase the numbers off the back of the wheels to keep them a secret?
Plus, they're only 10" wide, so it's not that hard to make a 295 fit in the front.
I had my 305/40/18 drag radials on the front for an autocross session, they cleared fine. Yes, they're Nittos and Nitto runs small, but they're still a pretty wide tire for the front.

And they worked awesome, no flopping onto the sidewalls like I had feared they might

Like you said, they keep it a secret so that customers buy directly from them. My guess for the offset is probably between 38-40mm

I like them a lot, I'd love a silver set for my car. They look awesome.
I just wish they weren't so secretive about their offsets.
I understand why they do it, they're protecting their R&D and they want that customer to buy from them.
Lots of people out there that want to run wide wheels/tires front and rear, being more transparent with the fitment solutions would make it easier for many to buy the right-fitting wheel to begin with.

Couldn't agree more

@ghunt81 Also these are very quiet in the cabin when cruising windows down or up. Wife and I can have an easy conversation. Don't even notice the exhaust at all. If stock is a 1 when cruising windows up then I'd say maybe 2.5ish. My borlas we a damn 5 easy there but so much damn drone also! I love the borla when I was catted but once the new set up couldn't take it.

Well, maybe I'll do that. I can't keep these Edelbrocks on anyway so might as well try out the MBRP's. I also love the looks of the MBRP system, though I hate the non adjustable tips as I've been having difficulty getting those types to line up correctly on my car.

I'd like to know how they are when you try them out again.

I didn't have any issues with that on mine and I know that was the only thing most said was the alignment. I did before install bend one of the hangers on one a bit. I matched them to my borlas hangers and fit perfect.

I have a rare few days off so I finally scheduled my airbag recall appointment for Monday.

 

[bunits19714]

B ought a horse cart today - have to take the ride to the vet on Monday and figure out what is up in the rear axle.

 

[oldVOR]

Nice horse trailer, matches the Mustang too!

 

[JG-1]

Took my car over to Cervini's and had them install a new hood.

 

[Strengthrehab]

Installed my 18x11 Apex EC-7 with 305/35/18 NT01. I have to adjust my camber a bit, but all went well.

Wheels are +52 offset and I'm using a 25mm spacer up front, but probably could have used a 20mm.

Nice setup Ken, looks really good!
It looks like you can tuck the fronts in a bit. Give it a shot, only need enough spacer to clear the hard parts.

 

[Strengthrehab]

Yeah. I could probably deal with a 20mm spacer, but since this is track only, it's ok. I'm going Sunday to get an alignment so I will see where things sit.

Gave the '05 and '14 a stable mate.....'08 GT CS

Installed my Roush rear springs today along with the FRPP bump stops. I got rid of the 4X4 look and opted for the AWD look. I just wanted the car leveled out instead of jacked up in the back. Mission accomplished, it looks balanced now.
