    Should I stay away from 2005 to 2008 (spark plugs)?

    I bought a 2007 a few years back that had the original plugs at 50k miles. I pulled them and only one broke. The revised plugs don’t break anymore, so it’s a non issue. It’s more of a mild inconvenience than anything.

    Miss not throwing codes.

    You would need to scan for misfires to identify it if you want to target the specific cylinder. To trigger a CEL, it has to trigger enough misfires per 1000 revolutions so it may be under threshold. If you cannot use a datalogging software, start with the basics - pull coils, plugs and look...

    2005 GT driver side not firing properly

    Sounds like they finished it wrong tbh. If they just did a timing job and it’s throwing timing codes, it ain’t right. They need to pull the front cover, inspect the timing marks and make sure it’s actually in time. If it isn’t/wasnt, then I would also make them inspect the cylinders for any...

    What to watch out for when buying?

    I would buy a higher mileage unmodified boss, no question so long as it has been maintained and looks clean/straight. If it’s modified/tuned, you need to look at it very closely and if you can’t get specifics from the owner, it could become a headache quick and would pay for a PPI. On the two...

    C&L Manifold

    I think what’s pretty cool about these is they offer the same benefits of the FRPP manifold without the same cons. Though I would wonder when them being cast aluminum how much they suffer from heat soak, and I wonder if the EVAP design is any better than the FRPP to make it more DD friendly

    WTB: 08-09 Ford Mustang Bullitt Front Bumper Upper Grille

    Was curious on that aspect of the Bullitt grille too. Though with my own experience, getting air in isn’t a real issue with these cars, but rather getting air out.

    Let me know how the quality is! Pics look nice, especially for the price

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    I ended up pulling the Bullitts off and putting the Corsas back on. Not sure if it was my particular used set, the the Bullitts did not flow much air, especially compared to the Corsas - felt a solid difference at idle airflow and with a leaf blower blown through both. Exhaust seemed to also...

    WTB: 08-09 Ford Mustang Bullitt Front Bumper Upper Grille

    Not sure if you are ok with non-OEM, and I cannot comment directly on quality but LMR has an Bullitt style grille https://lmr.com/item/LRS-8200Y/05-09-mustang-bullitt-style-grille-sve?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21804152376&gbraid=0AAAAAD62FUxX0K_KAhDa-I70A-Wprj7M1

    Radiator fan drawing to much power issue?

    It goes on positive lead on the SJB, which is the side closest to the strut tower, then I have kind grounded on the strut tower ground.

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    You can also look at Vibrant 1794s mid mounted too. I also ran that setup for a bit with muffler deletes out back and it sounded good. It droned pretty bad, and the ground clearance sucked though

    Radiator fan drawing to much power issue?

    This is it OP. I put the wireeverything relay relocation kit on my car proactively and it’s great. Literally plug and play and saves your BEC from melting.

    New to me 2011 GT

    Nice ride! I live in TX which requires a front plate, yet I don’t have one and have been fine. Not going to drill holes in my bumper.

    Cam phaser reluctor tone ring popped off the phaser

    When looking at parts that could catastrophically fail and cost you $10k or more, the few hundred $ becomes very worth it. Most limiters or lockouts are simply blocks put in the phaser to limit its phasing, so you could probably reuse the existing limiters.

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    Yep, Corsas have a crisp note. Think a high treble but moderate bass, whereas the Borlas have a low treble, but high bass.

    Cam phaser reluctor tone ring popped off the phaser

    As for the phasers, anything internal on the engine is worth replacing vs trying to do it the cheap way. Phasers are cheap enough to do it right and replace entirely (along with VCT limiters/lockouts) if you have the MT cams.

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    I think the tourings are slightly louder than the GTBs but quieter than the old GTAs, so on my scale, probably a 5/10

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    To me, they were about equally as loud as the FR500, so I would say 8.5/9 out of 10.

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    I would recommend keeping the X with the Sports first. It tames down the tone slightly until you are at WOT, then it screams. To me, the X compliments the Corsas better than the H, but it’s all subjective. If you want loud but with a nice tone, the Corsas are it :)

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    I haven’t had a set of stock mufflers on any of my setups, so I can’t directly compare. However of all my setups, they are one of the deepest and quietest setups I have had so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are as quiet if not slightly quieter than the stock manual GT mufflers. But the...

    2006 GT - BBK Long Tubes + Catted X Resonance — Anyone Convert to H-Pipe or Add Resonators?

    Here’s another recent update that might be helpful too. I switched up my setup to an H pipe and OEM Bullitt mufflers. Existing mods are LT headers, catted mid pipe with cams. The X was definitely quieter overall than the H, but the H has less rasp. I think the biggest change you can make is...

    Ford Racing strut set up for 2008 Bullitt

    +1 my 06 car had the Steeda/FRPP setup and it was very stiff. My 07 currently has Eibach springs and Koni Oranges (STR Ts) and its perfect balance of comfort and better control.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Took a long while to find a set but recommend if you want a deeper/quieter OEM + style setup.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Found a set of Bullitt mufflers/M-5230-GTBs/F1-8087 locally for $80 to see if it would tame down the car a bit instead of the Corsas. I haven’t seen too many videos of this setup (LTs, Catted H, GTBs) so I decided to upload one. Definitely a lot quieter overall.

    Lito tune

    Not likely to be valve float. FRPP Hot Rods are safe until 6800 RPM on stock valvetrain. You probably hit the limiter, though I think Lito usually sets it to 6800.
