I like the look, hate the drone. Haven't sold my stock axle-backs yet. Researching a fix for the drone..
Looking forward to your feedback.I've got 13-14 GT over axle pipes that have factory resonators in them I am going to try with my SS exhaust. Mine droned horribly and I took them off. I'm running Ford Racing and really like them but the SS are so unique looking. I got them from the dealer and cost was about $90 each. I'll report back once I get it all switched out.

Kansas can have really cold temps, and some snow, but most years, just cold and dry. I like to think I can get mine out occasionally when the roads are dry and definitely clear of salt, etc. We have been lucky enough that I can get it out once a month to get the juices flowing and get some miles in. Hope this year will be the same.
So is trunk or treat a big thing out there? Out of curiosity I Googled it and there were tons of them. Some days had them at various locations every hour.Trunk or Treat...

Great looking GT-500 by the way. Silver and red go really well together.
It's that sad time of the year when the fun cars get winterized and tucked in for their long winter naps. This is what I spent Saturday (when it was 70 degrees) doing, in advance of the cold and wet weather that moved in yesterday (when I don't think the temp made it above 40 degrees).

I think the only happy guy is my Amsoil salesman, from whom I need to replace 18 quarts of oil and two filters.
They're MotivX funnels. They were a gift from a friend. They're designed to provide positive connection to the valve cover thru which you're adding oil. The only ones that fit and work perfectly (for me) are the GM version for my Z06 and the Toyota version for my son's Tacoma. The "fitted" Ford ones didn't work for my Shelby, so I use their "extended funnel adapter makes it easier to refill engine oil on the Honda Odyssey / Pilot, Acura MDX and RDX, along with some newer GM vehicles." The Toyota one that fits my son's truck doesn't quite work on mine because of the supercharger I added. (Obviously, that's not MotivX's fault, but I am disappointed in their Ford funnels' fitment issues.)What the deal with that funnel?

LOL. I wish we had an equal passion for car meets up here. A decade or so ago there were multiple local (within a 20 minute drive) meets pretty much every night. Now, they're harder to find.Its a big thing in Georgia. If its a reason to have a car meet, they'll incorporate it

Why wouldn't you do the $20.00 a year membership?It's that sad time of the year when the fun cars get winterized and tucked in for their long winter naps.

I agree. I have friend who pays to be a "dealer," so I actually get everything at his cost and he generally bundles orders to get free shipping. It's better than retail, but still more expensive than some of the other options.Why wouldn't you do the $20.00 a year membership?
Products are much much cheaper. On one oil change you'd already recoup the $20.00
I actually pay for one year, than buy 2 oil changes for every vehicle in my household, which is 3.
I use my Citi card 2xrewards and one oil change is than free from the cash reward back. Sorry if I come across like Dave Ramsey or a know it all. Not my intent
With all due respect, you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to ENJOY these cars! This was a couple of months ago...Just changed my oil and filter again and added 5 miles in the past 2 years!
Do not know if this is an option for you, but off road H pipe and stock mufflers do it all, sounds great and no drone.
Doing it wrong would have been not to have ordered it in 2012! ENJOY? Is knowing that I have it in my garage and can drive it anytime I want.With all due respect, you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to ENJOY these cars! This was a couple of months ago...

Everything on the Internet is not as it seems. In this case, it's about how much downhill coasting you've done since the trip odo was last reset. That said, I believe we tend to get slightly higher MPGs at the ~7K ft elevation where I live. (Less air available = less fuel required)With all due respect, how the hell are you averaging over 18mpg?

Looks at the awesome "average MPG" in this one from a few years ago...
