speaking of sound tube, which tune did you go with to go along with your Steeda intake? I'm hearing that Brenspeed is having idle issues, I'm leaning more towards Evo Performance or a basic Jon Lund tune.

I just removed the whole thing. Plugged the port at the Steeda, and put a plug in the firewall...Gone!

I experimented a bunch before doing this...Removing the foam plugs etc. I like it better now with it gone.

Very Euro without screaming that "I'm 20 years old and want to offend you!" (cause I'm not...but that's me....I'm old!)

That's my style, too. I like a refined, highly tuned sound.

I have decided to start saving up money.

I found a company that imports them here. going to ask for a quote and see what they ask for the import

It's not your fault he lacks sense and taste.

I cant help it

5.0 V8

badass mustang

delicious stock sound

it is just...so delicious

don't forget for us belgians a mustang is damn exotic and rare

I don't blame you at all Vegitto. I'd be more interested in a Mustang if the V6 variant (or even the V8 really) wasn't such a dime a dozen car around here. I still like the styling of the 370Z way more, but I totally respect the performance of the Mustang 5.0.

That doesn't excuse it. European sports cars are more common and less expensive for you. If anything, this makes it worse.

jk V-k. It's completely understandable.

I went with the Steeda skip shif/Cai tune...Bought the whole package right from them and it's good...Great support and performance. The only idle issue is a Mustang thing, not a tune issue. A little variance in idle speed and only when the AC is on. There's apparently a TSB on it, but honestly, it's a minor issue....One I don't intend to pursue it's so minor..

the Z is exotic and rare here too but people tend to go like this if they see a mustang

OMG A MUSTANG OMG VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT (jizzes)

and then you have the people who know some stuff about cars and that go "look its trying to take a turn. GET OUT OF THE WAY"

I was wondering what that minor blip was.
