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.

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.

Did you put a Z on your mustang?

m4a1mustang · 09-09-2010, 01:30 PM

I have z plates and a nismo plate frame

m4a1mustang · 09-09-2010, 03:49 PM

I just figured out how to fold down the back seats.
