I'll post pics for sure if I do it. I'm trying to decide if it will be worth the effort. I'd have to spray paint them, and I'm not sure how a rattle can paint job will hold up long term.

How much to make me one?



Been having a rattle thats been annoying me. Finally got it up on jack stands and found 2 of the 4 collector bolts missing. Used some grade 8 bolts and nylon lock nuts with thread locker. Tired of these fuckers loosening up. Retucked the x pipe and ota pipes. Now I shouldnt be dragging the exhaust everywhere.

The only exhaust hangers on my exhaust are at the mufflers. My ARH catted x-pipe had hangers at the trans mount area but there's nothing for them to connect to. Am I missing something?

No. Ford deleted the midpipe hangers in 07 because they aren't necessary and were causing rattles.

Other than .4 L, no.

Got it aligned, not bad for eye balling it...

Drove the dickins out of it enjoying the new sounds from the magnaflow muffler deletes. Haven't even turned on the radio on once. The black tips are perfect with all the vlack out stuff.

For some reason I can't get this thing to shift until at least 5k.

Goneford, like skwerl said no you arent missing anything. The collectors where the longtubes and x pipe meet kept loosening up on me. The factory hardware sucks, but i was too lazy to fix it the right way. Today after hearing the rattling i couldnt deal with it anymore. I had everything to fix it so i got after it. Now i can drive down my driveway without dragging my exhaust for 1/4 mile lol.

After looking at my Brembos and doing some googling, I'm pretty sure they are for a Camaro or a CTS... Damn it. Oh well, money in my pocket I guess.

I'm not sure yet. I'm emailing Brembo and hopefully they can help. If not, I may see if they will my car anyway. I'm also not 100% sure on WTF they go on. The part numbers on the pads pop up on cadillac and camaro forums...

They're blank. The mounting points are what gave it away for me.

Mine:

Notice the arch on mine and how much further away the bolt holes are from the caliper.

Here are some CTS calipers on eBay:
