    Car feels like it's "breaking up" at high RPM's

    Takes one minute to find out, unclip the rear seat base and lift the black plug/cover. There is a sticker on top of the pump with a build date.

    Borla Atak vs FR500s axle backs and drone

    +1000, I was very surprised when LT headers went on and ORH, it COMPLETELY changed the FR500 mufflers, not just more of the same, but entirely different sound. I still don't get much drone, but Geeeezzzuuussss are they loud now. They trumpet now too and never did that with stock manifolds and cats.

    Car feels like it's "breaking up" at high RPM's

    Is it still on the original fuel pump? The 05-06 cars had a TSB on them. My 06 had the issue the TSB called out. I just put a new pump in mine to resolve it. What you're describing isn't what the TSB described, but anything that isn't right with the fuel pump isn't good.

    Next Generation Ford Mustang Could Grow to Match the Dodge Challenger

    I went so far as to drive a 2017 SS and when I got back I told the salesman as funny as it sounds, I wouldn't trade you even up for my 06 Mustang GT. The thing felt overly refined, it was like I was playing a video game, it completely lacked character and personality. The rearward visibility was...

    Next Generation Ford Mustang Could Grow to Match the Dodge Challenger

    Since it came out I have really liked the look of the Challenger, if they would make a 7/8 scale version of it. It's fucking huge.

    Cams... Cams.... CAMS

    My old dog still has 3.55 stock rear end and there is no driveability issues at all with my Hot Rods. It does has a pretty good lope at idle, but no issues. From some things I had read you need to change the rear gear, but I just haven't found it to be true at all. Don't get me wrong, if an...

    Need to pick some brains... Hot Rod Cam Installation.

    Lito, he fixed all kinds of stuff for me. It is clean and strong from idle to 7,000. I told him I hated the first 30 seconds revving to the moon on a cold motor bullshit that Ford had going on. Now my car just starts and settles immediately. Lito.

    CRAZY LOUD EXHAUST

    I don't, but he was right. It was more smell than anything, I mean there is no black smoke (real rich) or anything. I get clean plug readings and even my fuel economy (if you can say that about a modded Mustang) isn't much off of stock.

    CRAZY LOUD EXHAUST

    Yeah I told Lito I think the tune was way rich because the smell was like it was drowning in fuel. He said no that was pretty normal without cats. I don't waste any time getting my car out of the garage when I start it.

    CRAZY LOUD EXHAUST

    My wife refuses to drive my car because it's so loud. I'm pretty sad about that.:yeahrightangel:

    CRAZY LOUD EXHAUST

    I completely agree with this, my daughter had a new Beetle and the car lost one output on the coil pack. Apparently the injector still fired even though there was a dead miss. She drove it home a few miles and it took out the converter. Sounded like it was half full of rocks.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    The Kooks are way forward. Here is a pic https://kooksheaders.com/collections/2006-ford-mustang-gt-v8-4-6/products/2005-2010-ford-mustang-gt-2-1-2-green-catted-h-pipe-4-6l

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    If it would help, I can take some pics of my Kooks, they are absolutely no lower than stock exhaust. If you scrape them, you've already done a lot more damage on other parts. I will say this though, I kept reading about doing LT headers was an eight hour job, I thought pfssss, I've been working...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I switched them out for some MBRPs and it sounded OK, but when I came back from my drive I wasn't smiling. I put he FR500S mufflers back on and had a huge grin again. I sold the MBRPs. The loud really doesn't bother me in the least, I'm not trying to "fix" it, just couldn't believe the...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I thought my FR500S mufflers were just fine, kind of wished they were a little louder and they had no drone. Then I put on Kooks long tubes with an ORH, good lord, they completely changed. My car is so fucking loud now, I regularly have people ask me how I get away with it on the street. I never...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Drained the brake fluid reservoir and filled it with fresh and bled the brakes. Had to employ my wife as the pedal pusher. She did a good job.

    Saleen underdrive pulley installation

    BTW, there is quite a bit more to this than just machining a chunk of metal and calling it a harmonic balancer. The frequency of the harmonics in a crankshaft are significant and can be destructive if not properly addressed. The density of the rubber, weight, etc. all plays into it doing its job...

    Thanks for posting that, I really enjoyed that. You were flying out there, looked like some of those guys were tied to a tree by comparison.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Motul RBF600 is the best there is. I ran that in my Ducatis and lots of track time. Thanks for the reminder, I'll be doing this to mine too.

    Saleen underdrive pulley installation

    60!!!! Geeeez you guys are old! At least at 59 I'm not old yet.:whistling: Keith, if it were me I would list that kit in the parts for sale and get a Steeda kit. I couldn't recommend anything higher, really well done and no messing with the alternator at all. BTW, you will come around to the new...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    I did some more 06 update stuff that Ford learned about as time went on. I changed out my fuel pump and I changed the old coarse thread strut bolts for the higher torque fine thread ones. I needed to do the fuel pump as my original had the cavitate after cruising issue. Last fall my wife and I...

    Thoughts on FR500s with Longtubes & O/R X-Pipe

    That's close to what I'm running, I have Kooks LT with an O/R H instead of an X and FR500 mufflers. I had the FR500 mufflers on the car before the headers and cat delete and they seemed fine, nice sound improvement from stock. The LT and O/R H completely changed everything, it is so fucking loud...

    Return to idle issues with Lito Tune

    I had a return to idle issue too and had tried and checked everything I could. Got to the point of saying fuck it I'll just drive it. Then I had my airbag recall done. On the way home all was good. The Ford dealer had unhooked my battery while the airbag work was being done and its been fine...

    Help picking LCA brackets

    When I talked to Kelly at BMR, he told me that you multiply by two (as a rule of thumb) for the drop you did with the springs. For me, I dropped the car 1 inch, so my LCAs should go in a hole 2 inches down from the original to get the geometry back closer to correct. Understand that correct is a...
