I agree. My exhaust is loud at WOT but I don't want to have to mash the pedal down just to extract that loudness. I'd rather have a car that rattles the ground at idle and low RPMs. It's not my daily driver. It's more of a showcar and weekend warrior :)
Sorry haven't updated my sig. I've moved to Florida so no emissions down here. I'm already running the full manifold back SW system with OR-X and Turbo S-Tube mufflers. This is the loudest manifold back for my '08 but they said I could get their Headers but would have to change out the lead...
Do you have a clip on youtube that I could hear?
Also what did your setup cost (Long tubes, ORX and MBRP race mufflers) as I don't think I can use my SW ORX or other parts with that system right?
I've been running a Stainless Works manifold back (stock headers) with a 2.5" Offroad X and S Tube Turbo mufflers (M08GTL) on my '08 Shelby GT500. While I originally like the sound that this custom system makes, I find that it just isn't loud enough for me. Especially hearing all the late model...
I took my car to 3 independent garages years ago claiming they could do an alignment. 2 out of 3 didn't have the correct equipment after getting it up on the lift (lasers couldn't get low enough and front chin splitter etc. interfered with the Hunter equipment). Finally got the 3rd shop to go it...
I couldn't find a specific forum so I apologize if there is and I didn't find it.
I'm looking to dress up the engine a bit. I've seen pictures of aluminum covers for the reservoirs up front and the fuse cover.
Anyone have any advice on what/where-to-buy or pics Please?
I have a blue micro fiber wash mitt that has served me well over the years but it's looking pretty tired and raggedy. I really like it because it doesn't have a sewn on elastic cuff. It's just a blue rectangle with an opening on the one end (where your hand is inserted).
I can't remember where...
Well I was able to get my 2.5" VMP pulley and idler installed with the help of OMICRON from McHenry. Thanks for the help Paul!!
So results: Stock boost gauge went from max of 7 lbs boost to about 11 lbs. It runs fairly well but stumbles when first started and for about the first 5 minutes of...
Wondering if there is anyone in the Northwest Burbs around Algonquin/LITH/CL that owns a VMP Pulley Removal Tool that I could borrow?
I'm about to purchase the 2.5" Vmp pulley and idler (90mm)
I have an '08 GT500 with a Stainless Works OR/X and catback with a newly added JLT CF Big Air intake (Lund tune).
I add initally added the SW exhaust shortly after buying my car and I immediately lost the stock eaton supercharger whine since the exhaust was so loud, the airbox was still stock...
I just installed a new JLT Carbon Fiber Big Air CAI kit (127mm) on my '08 GT500 and loaded a new tune from Lund that was supposed to match my mods (only other mod is a 1.5" Stainless Works Offroad X (no cats) and 3" catback (very open exhaust).
I had a previous Lund tune loaded just for the...
Just put my 500 away for the winter in Chicago since they just dumped salt all over the streets.
Does anyone make wheel covers to protect polished aluminum wheels from the salt overspray from being parked in the garage all winter next to daily drivers?
I used to throw sheets around the...
I'm running Nitto DRs on the back and Nitto 555R's up front
305/35/20 Rears with 255/35/20 Fronts
Stock tire PSI is 36 PSI. The Drag radials go up to 55 PSI!! :0
I'd like to run my tires on the weekend for max longevity as opposed to max performance. I can always lower the Drag Radials...
I just changed my OEM wheels to aftermarket aluminum.
Does anyone know what the recommended pressure is for torque on the lug nuts.
Don't want to damage the rims but I don't want them to loosen up after driving either!
I just had the FRPP 5300 springs installed last night with an adjustable BMR panhard.
I paid a local mechanic to do it in his shop and watched the whole way.
Question I have. The springs did not come with any instructions in the box from FORD and I couldn't find any instructions with...
Hey Matt;
I'm going to be doing Trueforged 20" wheels all around. I am either going 10.5" or 11" on back with 9 inch up front.
I'd like to do the Nitto NT555 DR 305/35/20 on back with the NT555 255/35/20 on front. There is 1 guy on this forum that bought the same truforged wheels and I...
I've been a long time Meguires user and I've used NXT on my daily drivers with decent results.
I'm not looking for the cheapest wax but the easiest to apply with the best bang for the buck in terms of appearance and durability (wax lasting time).
I've used Zaino and that stuff is great...
Time for my first oil change.
I always do the basic maintenance on my vehicles if I can and I definitely don't want my local dealer working on my car.
So is there an easy place to safely jack the front end up with a floor jack to change the oil? I'm guessing that you can get to the oil...
I'm probably going with a set of 20's on my 500 (20x9 and 20x10.5) and I'd like to know what most people are doing in terms of tire sizes. I'd like to fit as big a tire on the back as I can without rubbing issues. I'm going to be lowering with FRPP springs.
Posting pics would be helpful!
Just got back from a quick cruise.
Saw a pain in the A** camaro pass me in the opposite direction while revving the piss out of his car. Since this was the 3rd time this has happened from the same car, I pulled into the next street, turned around and hit it.
Missed 4th gear and heard lots...
My '08 has only 800 on the clock and I noticed there is some noise when running over small cracks or bumps in the road, not unlike a higher mileage car that has loose tie rods.
I put 160 miles on it from the ride home from the dealer on a local route (to avoid rock chips etc on the freeway)...
