yes that is the biggest problem, the red devils started sucking so much that all our good players go to other teams instead of joining the devils

Oh, and here's something for you Stang owners. Feel free to print these out and affix them somewhere visible in the cabin.

OK, so I need to build a custom bracket to hold my front plate. I think I want to mount it off to the side, but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to go about it.

I just changed my registration from Texas to Oklahoma with this thing... no front plate required, NO EMISSIONS TESTS!!! ahhhhh!!!! Aside from the otherwise archaic alcohol laws and drab scenery, I'm diggin this state.

I am going to the DMV tomorrow morning to apply for title and register the car.

Just did the sound tube mod... I pulled out the insulator and the plug inside the cockpit. It's definitely louder when you're on the throttle in the mid-range but nothing crazy. I might keep it like this until I get my CAI and exhaust, then I'll just remove the thing all together.

I havent done it yet but i'm curious how it sounds, i'm still holding off on the CAI/Tune combo, I wanna wait a few months to see if anyone comes along with something that produces astronomical gains

It's a pretty big increase in volume in the mid range. Idle and everywhere else sounds the same.

Why off to the side? I wish something like this was available for the 370Z:

Welcome to Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets

I built something similar (without the powder coating) for my wife's Grand Cherokee, but it had a convenient bar with holes in it under the bumper.
Since my 370Z has the factory holder installed already, I may just cut it to hide behind the plate and frame I have.

Pushing_Tin · 09-09-2010, 02:25 AM

I've owned five Fords and my wife has a Focus, they've all been great vehicles and I'll probably own a Mustang if they have a good refresh in 2012 or 13.

m4a1mustang · 09-09-2010, 11:20 AM

Red, I would do the sound tube mod. It sounds a lot throatier now in the cockpit. It will definitely hold me over until I choose an exhaust setup.

Gotta love the sound deadening in this car, though. A welcome change from the road noise galore in the Z.

I agree man, the sound deadening is AMAZING, in the cockpit at WOT, the stock exhaust still sounds too tame, how long did it take you to take that plug out? and how did you do it, that video doesnt show much.
