Hope the MF setup does not droan!

Do the 15's have the resonators in them like the 11-14's?

Would like to see a before and after dyno comparison between stock and a setup like yours.

I hope it does drone! lol

I miss the Flowmaster 2,000 RPM drone from the Fox Body days.

And they have a "suitcase" resonator. Big pile of junk.

I'm not joking.

My daily driver is quiet as a mouse. When I drive my Mustang 1,000 miles a year, I wanna know I'm in it. ;)

I understand that, sounding good/muscle car is not the same as drone esp with it being an automatic.

As a matter of fact, I usually run turndowns on my cars.

Talk about drone.

I would do turndowns on this car, but the fuel smell can get annoying.

Making some progress, I would say.

Got the Mickey's mounted to the Billet Specialties wheels. OMG are they sexy. Just waiting on some lugs from BS, and I will mount them up.

Modded the 05-14 Seat brackets, and got the Corbeau FX1 Mounted up.






HIGHLY recommend these seats. So comfy, and such a positive feel. Very happy with my purchase. The guys over at American Muscle definitely led me in the right direction.

These. These are nice. I immediately contacted Aerospace about some brakes for this car. I was going to send my brakes over to them, but before I even had a chance - they ordered some from Ford, and make these front brakes up for me. I chose Aerospace for these, simply because they are local - and I have used their parts in the past with great luck!

This version is the lightweight street version, with vented rotors. Once I swing by their place and pick them up, I will post more info about the weight, my thoughts, etc.




More to come! I'm not stopping anytime soon!

Got the Mickey Thompson tires mounted and balanced. I am awaiting some lugs from Billet Specialties, and I should have some good shots of them on the car - and I will also have some weight info.

I plan on racing the car at the Coyote Shootout on Sunday, so I have a plate full of things to achieve before then.

Return Style Fuel System - starting this in the morning. I will also be running E85.

I should also be installing the Aerospace front brakes, and the Shaftmasters 1-Piece DS. Hope to have those done by Wednesday. I will also have weights from those to share.

I am still very anxious to hear what the car sounds like with the MAK O/R Pipes, and the Magnaflow Comp system. I reckon it is going to sound insane, especially at the track.

More to come..

Really interested to see what those bad boys look like on the car. Does BS make them for S197s?

I like the wheels but why black lip front and machined lip rear?

I was very close to doing BS wheels but they don't make the fronts in the size I wanted so landed up with welds. I wish they made some more street oriented sizes.

Car looks great. I had to cancel my Tampa trip to go to Ireland/Germany instead, otherwise I would swing by and see it in person.
