That's one question I can't answer. My '07 is as basic as you could get...no traction control or ABS. Something to be aware of with the 4.10s is driveshaft speed. The design on the V6 cars has the slip joint in the middle of the shaft, and no hanger bearing. This driveshaft has been known to...

Yep, SCT. Even my old X2 will do both, and many more. 4.10s with the 5-speed...I did that. First gear's pretty short.

Thanks! The wheels are Rays/Gram Lights 57XR, 18 X 9.5. I don't recall the offset though. They're fairly lightweight, @ ~19lbs. Bought them at an import shop.

Yep, 'tis the nature of the beast...You'll just get the front done, then look at the back, and decide that big nasty fake gas cap has to go too! Been there...

It's been a few years, but I believe those are the ones.

There are also a couple of 'extensions' needed to change to the GT bumper...2 small pieces that have to be riveted to the inside of the outside corners of the bumper cover. Personally, I prefer the clean lines of the V6 bumper cover. The Bullitt grille is my favorite of the OEM ones, but It's...

That's me when someone using LEDs in halogen housings is coming at me from the other direction. Your tint should cut that down to some degree.

I've been looking for somewhere to drop this...looks like a good place...

Essentially what I was getting at...I just dummed it down a bit. As for the second part of your statement, I couldn't agree more. When I said I 2nd Jim, I was including the "The tune is what really makes it, regardless of the CAI you get." part. I had a C&L, and liked it...if not for the mega...

I'll second Jim...I had a C&L on mine before I added the supercharger. It was a nice, well made piece, but requires a tune. Any CAI that has a different diameter (where the MAF slides in) than the stock airbox will require a tune to work properly (and keep the engine light off).

I went with the Hurst for my V6. It's an improvement over the stock shifter, but not a big one. IMO, spend the money and buy the MGW...if I could do it again, that's the way I would go.

There is no mechanical link between your right foot and the throttle body...it's 'drive by wire'. If it is a spring issue, that spring will be at the gas pedal. It is more likely a throttle position sensor, or throttle body control motor issue. IIRC (it's been a while), an issue with the...

That's exactly what it is...there to reduce NVH. If I recall correctly, there is also one attached to the OE V6 muffler. I have a Magnaflow X-pipe and axle-back mufflers, eliminating both dampers, and I have no issues with vibes/resonance.

I have an '07 4.0 with a stick. A tune made a very noticeable improvement in throttle response. IMO, it was worth it for that alone. Mine was pretty bad before the tune.

Thanks for the extra info. It was 8 years ago when I got this trans...memory could be a bit foggy. I know the ratios, at least, are the same as you have listed for the T5Z. It was explained that some machining had to be done to the input shaft (and maybe the case, but I could be wrong there)...
