sell me yours.

I really want to order this now: Magnaflow Clamp-On Tru-X Mustang X-Pipe (2011-2012 GT) at AmericanMuscle - Free Shipping!

Way better than the FRPP X because it will actually fit right... but $400.

Ah yes the fitment issues.

Another side question. I know our coyotes use 5w20, but I've read some folks use 5w30 for added protection? Any thoughts on this or experience? Some say Ford did this just aid cafe regulations?

m4a1mustang 09-26-2011 09:27 PM

I think you can really run whatever you want, but I just stick to 5w-20 because that's what is recommended. I use Pennzoil Platinum synthetic.

Have to fight GM for the patent, my car came with similar. Sounds great and I have NOT missed having an obnoxious car all the time while at the same time it's loud enough at WOT that my Dad heard it clearly through a mile and a half of trees as I was merging onto the interstate leaving his house the other day.

I really think this kind of setup is the wave of the future. It's just the best of both worlds all the time.

I love the quiet-as-my-G20 cruising, and then when I nail it the flaps open up and it is loud as hell. It's running straights at that point, basically. Also worth a 20whp or so bump when those flaps open at around 3200rpm. You can see it on a dyno graph and feel it in your SOTP. Then you get off the gas, and it sounds like a machine-gun, or if you watch this crap, a NASCAR.

Definitely something I think other manufacturers will make their own versions of.

^There is flaps closed, and flaps open. He looks to only be revving to about 3500-4K at highest. The crackles on decel start for me at around 4500-5K.

PPS did very well in all the UOA's I saw.

Does Ford recommend the same thing in the BOSS? I am curious if they think track use necessitates a heavier oil than this or not.

that was my old setup, woke the dead with my muffler delete pipes, hence why I had to get rid of it, it was TOO much. With the mufflers, should sound pretty good.

No clue on what they recommend for the BOSS.

I'm happy with PPS. Since I don't need to run an ester-oil to keep the Z happy I don't have to pay $12/quart for Redline anymore.

Red__Zed 09-27-2011 08:02 AM

I guess I'll see how pps goes

GZ3 09-28-2011 08:51 AM

going to try redline in the 5.0 this weekend...ill let everyone know...PP gave almost a full drain even with LOTS of hard driving! PP is prob one of the best oils i have used

m4a1mustang 09-28-2011 08:52 AM

Redline is good stuff. I have two or three quarts leftover from my Z. I use PP in the 5.0 now so I will be using the Redline for my AR-15. :icon17:

GZ3 09-28-2011 08:56 AM

:icon18:

it is good stuff, i dont know if its even needed with this car, but i do allot of hard driving and the Z loved it...
