yeah this. and i figure if I'm doing that it might be better to go straight to something else.

Steve, any familiarity with how the koni orange's are for the platform?

FromG2Z · 09-26-2011, 08:17 PM

^ eeek... ok, nvm then. I'll keep mine on.

Although, I might add this down the road? I've read folks having good luck with this, esp with combo with the GT500 mufflers?

I personally wouldn't use that because it's aluminized steel and not stainless.

Ugh now you guys have me looking at new exhaust setups.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
