    Just bought some GT500 mufflers off a guy. Are these more or less the same as GT mufflers?

    So I noticed "Automatic GT" mufflers are specified here, were the mufflers different between manual and auto GT's? I also noticed the GT500 mufflers don't neck down to 2 1/4" inside the muffler inlet/outlet like my 2005 GT mufflers do...or maybe they fixed that in 2007, I dunno. Anyway thanks...

    Just bought some GT500 mufflers off a guy. Are these more or less the same as GT mufflers?

    So I found some mufflers on Marketplace, I thought they were just regular GT mufflers with some tips welded on but when I went to pick them up I found out they were '07-09 GT500 mufflers, part number F1-8143-R. I currently have OEM GT mufflers on my car, if I swap them out for these will they...

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    Shot a new video that actually shows what it sounds like while driving. Short, but a little better.

    Baffles Under the Car

    Mine tore off/broke off a long time ago, hope they aren't too terribly important.

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    Alright so I made a little video this afternoon. Not great, but it's something. I want to get another one with the camera directly behind the car and driving away from it.

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    Well, I know some cars came with the nice tips but OEM mufflers are getting harder to find. Some on ebay but usually too expensive and/or shipping is way too much. I found tips that would slip on over the stock ones but I would have to cut them off, and the tips were $50 each- not sure if I...

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    No they are JBA cats on their shorty H pipe. Yeah they are NSR, not super choppy once warmed up. I agree, on cold start it has an old school muscle car sound. On throttle they are still pretty damn loud. I keep thinking about putting aftermarket mufflers on again and then I drive it, and...

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    I need to make one but currently I do not. Will try to do it when the weather gets a little warmer.

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    OEM mufflers with long tubes sound great and have significantly less resonance than any aftermarket muffler. I'm currently running that setup except I have cats. Still relatively loud too but it's now quiet enough I can let the car warm up in the morning without waking all the neighbors.

    Good Lord...

    When I did mine a few years ago I was able to push the tie rods down just enough to get those front bolts out, barely. I didn't remove anything. Was still a pain in the ass job though.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    I did the 4 piston swap on my car a few years back myself. The nice thing about that swap is that it's all "plug & play," OEM GT brake lines will bolt up to the calipers and the calipers go right on the spindle. You just need the rotors, calipers, pads and hardware. I think my car has great...

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

    So, been awhile but I wanted to update this for anyone else who might come across it. Over the winter I pulled out the original Shaker 500 head unit with the integrated CD changer (the radio looked terrible plus I had a sneaking suspicion the changer was killing the battery) and replaced it with...

    Is there an aftermarket equivalent to the S197 factory mufflers?

    I would go that route but- there's nothing locally, we have no u-pull yards within 2 hours, and everything online is too much money. Out of curiosity's sake, what is your zip and about how much do those mufflers weigh? I'm guessing shipping would be $$$ Plus- the offset/offset configuration of...

    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

    Honestly my car makes so many noises going over bumps, this one probably bothers me the least. And yes they are stock LCA's. At the time I didn't want to spend the cash for GT500's. My end links do have zerks but they are basically stock replacements.

    Clunking end links

    I would think if any front end components were that worn, it would have been caught during my yearly inspection. I replaced the front arms and ball joints about 38K ago just because of that, also I my GT500 strut mounts and struts have less than 20K on them. I dunno maybe it is because of the...

    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...

    Where does extra sound insulation make the most difference?

    That surprises me, because that tar stuff is sticky as hell.

    Exhaust hangers

    Just wondering, but are those tailpipes all one piece? It looks like the tailpipes have been welded on. If so they will have to be cut to be installed, in which case I'd definitely recommend taking to to an exhaust shop.

    Where does extra sound insulation make the most difference?

    I put that 10 mm thick foam all over the front floor and tunnel, you can fit it under the carpet if you pull out the factory fiber mat stuff.

    Resonator placement

    I just found out this year that factory mufflers with longtubes sounds incredible and cuts the drone down to barely above stock levels.

    Where does extra sound insulation make the most difference?

    My job was moved, from being 10 min from my house to a 20 min highway commute. I've taken the car a few times and between putting factory mufflers back on and the sound deadening, it's much nicer to drive on the highway now. I need to do the doors someday.

    Getting back into a S197???

    I'd look on one of the Ford parts sites like Tasca, they have diagrams in the part categories that (usually) make it pretty easy to find what you're looking for.

    Headers Install

    I kept my stock mounts and shimmed them up 1/4", don't know if I needed the clearance but I did it anyway. I have had no clearance issues whatsoever. Stock mounts have 106K on them now and still doing good!

    Reman 4-piston Brembos on 05-14 GT

    Trust me I wouldn't be driving it far on a compact spare.
