Prepared the next tune revision for the LTs based on logs.

Changed out CJ springs for Steeda Sports, swapped Strange struts for Steeda Pro Action Struts, removed the ARB and installed front and rear Whiteline sway bars. The car is so much nicer to drive.

Tried to order two new exhaust clamps part # BR3Z-5A231-A for in-between the H-pipe and the rear pipes, Tasca cancelled my order, they're on backorder.
Fuck.
I need them.

Sent messages out to two other dealers wondering if they might have any.

Search for Walker 36531 butt joint band clamps (2.75")
Looks like they are out of stock in many places
Last place I got them was Amazon

Thanks. They seem to be a little more attainable than the Ford ones.
Do you know if the Walker clamp also has the hooks at the ends to grab onto the little nubs on the pipes, to keep them from sliding apart?

I used the Walkers from Amazon and have zero problems in three years.

Just received my decklid cover from AmericanMuscle, been waiting so I could throw the booty together. Much, much, MUCH cleaner.

Looks nice, but I guess I’m old school. Because I remember my brother’s 65 fastback and 73 mach1 when that really WAS the gas cap. And Mustangs have always had 3 lens twilights. I have the sequential kit so all three are used...

Made some carbon fiber pieces over winter. Finally got them put in. No overlays, stickers or vinyl. Real, hand laid carbon fiber. Also, getting ready to put my built forged engine in and t56 magnum xl.
Also put a backup camera in the trunk key hole.
And bought a trufiber one piece cover

Thanks for this recommendation.
Ordered the Walker 36531 clamps through the local NAPA store, got them for less than the Ford ones would've been, just picked them up.
Got a 10% AAA discount and another $5 off for signing up for their rewards program. Lol ok.

They don't have the little "hooks" that the Ford ones have, but I'm optimistic that they'll work ok.

And yesterday I picked up a new set of cat-converter nuts from the local dealer.

So I have new nuts and new clamps.
As long as I don't clamp my nuts, I should be fine :lol:

Those will work fine. I use them and they allow you to adjust everything to get the exhaust tips centered if needed. They have enough clamp load such that they won't move when you're done either.

I had issues with the factory ones after I installed the Lethal Performance over-axle pipes, I drive down the road and the pipes slid out of the clamps, had to tack them

Got a replacement set of factory cats installed and played with the pipes a bit, trying to re-use the Lethal Perf. pipes.

Meanwhile, a short video of a cold start-up and a little idle/revving action with only the cats in place :)
