    Is there an aftermarket equivalent to the S197 factory mufflers?

    This past spring I put my OE axle backs on my car, which has long tube headers and a catted shorty H pipe, just to see how it would sound-- and I am blown away by them. The car sounds incredible, is still fairly loud, and yet has about half the cabin drone I had with most of the aftermarket axle...

    Clunking end links

    I have had this problem for years, replaced the end links, and still get it. I don't know for sure if I get it on left hand turns but definitely on right turns- if I go into a sharp turn at a good speed, on my initial turn-in I get a clunk from my driver's side front wheel area and I'm pretty...

    Aftermarket Bluetooth stereo- microphone placement

    This year I FINALLY decided it was time to ditch the OEM Shaker 500 head unit (with its peeling buttons) and finally get with modern times, so I bought and installed a Jense CAR710X double din head unit (which has Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Android Auto). So, this thing comes with a wired mic...

    What's this third plug in the radio harness for?

    Bought a new head unit, working on installing it today and I find this third plug on the harness plugged into the radio. Every adapter harness I've seen only has the two plugs mine has so what is this one for and what am I supposed to do with it? Only has 2 wires coming out- pink, and...

    Does anyone know of any common Key off-Engine off power drains on '05-09 Mustangs?

    For the last couple years I have had something draining my battery when the car is parked for more than a week or so, and I mean it will draw it dead. I know I probably need to test some circuits but does anyone know of anything that commonly does this?

    Car running poorly/missing- part 2

    So I posted that the car was running bad on 1/4 tank or less of gas. Well, I have noticed that it actually running bad/missing at any fuel level, except it's totally random. For example this morning I drove it to work, started out OK then started to feel like it was missing mostly at lower...

    Car runs poorly when I get down around 1/4 tank of gas?

    I swear I am not imagining this... I only drive my car 2-3 days a week and my commute to work is not even 10 miles so I don't put a lot of miles on it. I noticed several weeks ago the car was running weird below 2500 RPM, felt like it was missing a bit especially starting from a stop and you...

    What is the largest tire that will fit in the rear spare well?

    And also will allow the carpet to lay somewhat normally? Last year I stripped my trunk to install sound deadener and found out that my spare tire was not only mostly bald, but also flat AND I had no jack or lug wrench. I put some air in the tire, and now this year I'm in the trunk doing some...

    Where does extra sound insulation make the most difference?

    So some of you may have read my saga last year where I found out my driver's floor pan was rusted through from water leaking into the interior. I fixed the floor, pitched the (waterlogged) factory sound insulation under the carpet, did sound deadener on the whole interior and trunk (minus the...

    Weird off idle stumble/miss

    Last week I drove my car on Monday and it drove fine, but I had to park it in the garage the rest of the week and was gone over the weekend, so I disconnected the battery. I reconnected the battery and got it out yesterday and the idle just sounded off but thought maybe I was just imagining it...

    Others with cams- do you get the P0300 code after extended idling?

    Ever since I installed cams, if the car idles for more than a couple minutes it's pretty likely that I will get a check engine light and a P0300 code (misfire). Thought maybe it was my old plugs that were doing it but today while idling in a long drive thru line I got it again. Is there a...

    What is the extra plug in the center console for?

    I'm putting my interior back together and just set the console base back in. I plugged in the 12V outlet in the console bin, and have the small plug on the e-brake, but there is an extra gray plug in there that I forgot was in there and doesn't seem to have anything to plug in to. What is that...

    How much sound deadener to cover floors and trunk?

    I started pulling my carpet tonight...found out the padding is soaked under the entire front carpet so it all has to come out. Figured that while I have it all out I might as well install some sound deadening on the floor. About how many square feet is required to do the whole thing?

    How the hell do you get the wiper arms off?

    I'm going to replace the cowl panel grommets since they have been leaking. Got the passenger side of the panel off, but the drivers side is trapped behind the wiper arms. I took the rubber caps off, took the nuts off, but the wiper arms are stuck on there good. I've sprayed it with PB Blaster...

    I got 2 holes rusted through my driver's side floorpan :(

    Went to change the fuel filter a couple days ago, pulled the plastic cover off and found this. Rusted clear through. I'd noticed the driver's side carpet was damp last year but didn't think it was this bad, apparently the cowl panel grommets have been leaking. It soaked the pad under the carpet...

    How do you remove the plastic trim piece on the side of the front seats?

    The one in the picture below. I bought a new cushion for my seat and need to remove this piece to replace the cushion but I can't see how it comes off.

    Bench bleeding clutch master cylinder

    So I decided to go ahead and replace my clutch master cylinder since it has around 100K on it and I have the system apart anyway. What is the best way to bench bleed the clutch MC (since it has no reservoir of its own), and then after it's installed do you have to bleed the entire system...

    Slave cylinder shimming

    Measured all my stuff yesterday with the slave installed on the transmission, clutch/PP installed to the flywheel and everything torqued to spec. I'm seeing about 2 11/16" from the bellhousing face to the TOB face, and about 3 1/8" from the block plate to the PP fingers. So, a difference of...

    Pressure plate bolts- need some clarification

    I can't seem to find a straight answer on this when I search online. First off, are the original pressure plate bolts TTY or not? I can't find factory replacements anywhere online, only upgraded ones (like ARP or Ford Racing), which makes me wonder if they are. Second, what is the torque...

    Pilot bearing woes...need some help

    So I've been fighting with this pilot bearing shell and getting it out of my crank for the better part of a week now. Starting to wish I had just pulled the bearing out of the new shell and just installed it into the shell in the crank. I got the old shell to move out the tiniest bit with the...

    Pilot bearing

    This might be a stupid question but why is it that most pilot bearings (including the one in the clutch kit I bought) come with the large metal "shell" or whatever it is that the bearing is in, even though it's not part of the bearing-but a few don't? I thought standard procedure was to replace...

    How do you get the intake off when it's stuck???

    I'm just full of questions today... So at the suggestion of a member here (and after seeing there was no other good way to get the top bellhousing bolts out) I decided to remove my intake. I disconnected everything, pulled the fuel rails, took all 8 bolts out of the intake, and that thing is...

    Removing line from clutch master cylinder

    So i disengaged the clip (have it partway out)...but the line seems to be stuck pretty good in the master cylinder. How much force does it take to remove?

    Necessity is the mother of all invention!

    Trying to figure out how to reach the two upper bellhousing bolts...tried linking two wrenches together on the driver's side one and still couldn't break the damn thing loose. I had made this "tool" a few years back out of a straight piece of 3/16" x 1 1/4" bar and the square drive out of a...
