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

True, but how many V6 350/370zs do you see?

You're failing to see the point, clearly.

Nitex 09-08-2010 05:12 PM

^^ i get both of your points. However, i think dreamer is right on this one. We only have 350z and 370z. None of our cars have a lower displacement option. While us 370 owners see quite a few 350's on the street. Its not like we see a 370z with a 4 banger on every corner.

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.

wilsonp 09-08-2010 06:25 PM

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.

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.

:icon17:

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

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:tup:

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

Seriously, gotta give props where it's due. Ford did a fantastic job and I would gladly rent one for the weekend!:driving: :tup:

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.

Just get some exhaust mods, that will change that. :)

Red370 09-09-2010 12:11 PM

nevermind, found it, i thought the hole was in the floorboard, apparently it was up and to the left in the footwell.

here is the culprit:

I honestly think the stock exhaust sounds great. It's perfect for a stock car. I only want it a tad louder, so I will be going Bassani.

The Bassani sounds nice, but i'm tired of tame, my Stillen was a bit too quiet for me, I wanna wake the neighbors now.

As far as that sound tube mod, it sounds incredible now, definitely a noticeable difference, I dont think pulling the one from the engine bay would be a good idea, its plenty loud with one removed.

Been there done that with my '03 GT. O/R X pipe and Magnaflows... loud!

My FIs were a little loud for my tastes. I guess I'm getting older. :icon17:

Take a pic of where you got that one from? I pulled a foam piece out of the engine bay but that's it...

my phone doesnt have a flash on it, its pretty dark up in there, so i'll describe it as best as i can...

get down and look up under the furthest left you can under the dash against the fire wall, you should see a hole up there, its further left than all the wiring harnesses, its open, there isnt a plug, all you have to do is pull the insulation out and voila, done. How did you get the one out of the engine bay? I wouldnt mind trying that later, like, where is the insulation located?

Follow the tube coming out of the fire wall and disconnect it from the sandwhich thing that it connects to (that's bolted to the fender panel) and pull the insulation right out.

Thanks for the description... I pulled the wrong thing out of the fire wall. :o :rofl2:

Did you put a Z on your mustang?

m4a1mustang 09-09-2010 01:30 PM

I have z plates and a nismo plate frame

I didnt find out until a week of driving the car, that it had a sport mode, and that the center console could be locked so that the fuckin thing would stop lifting up on me every time i put my elbow down :rolleyes:

its crazy, you can turn off AdvanceTrac or Traction Control, turn them both off simultaneously or keep them both on...
