I used this and am happy with the final look: P&L Motorsports mount

Man people are sleeping on these. I suspect it’s because Kooks is not as well known in the ExST world, but Kooks makes really nice p, higher end stuff. I bought a set of CVF downpipes awhile back and love them, but if I hadn’t I’d be all over these for $900. GLWS to the OP!

My wife had the 2.5” Thermal and thought it was too quiet. I changed that out for the 3” Thermal when that became available, and it still wasn’t loud enough for her. Added the CVFab downpipes and she’s happy now. With the 10 speed auto these ST’s are really not all that loud unless you’re...

Use the stuff that @Stone17 linked to. Ford has been through several variations of coolant types/colors over the last 10 years or so, but the yellow stuff is the current version.

As a current ‘93 Cobra owner, I approve. Definitively a unique setup!

That looks normal to me. This is an overflow/expansion tank and it doesn’t really circulate the coolant thru there nearly as much as the radiator. I wouldn’t worry about it unless you wanted to do a coolant drain/refill just so you know what you’re working with in there. Also, remember to top...

Do you mean 02 extensions like wiring harness extensions, or defoulers? Assuming you mean the latter, the CVFab stuff comes with them, but you may have missed them or otherwise mistakenly thrown them out with the packaging materials since I think they come int a fairly small separate package...

While doing an oil change recently on my ‘21 Explorer I discovered what appears to be a broken stud with matching nut laying in my undertray. The stud and nut are M8x1.25mm, and the remaining stud is 22mm of thread/26mm end to remaining end. This was on the extreme left side of the truck near...

Mine looks exactly the same. I also thought something seemed off. I completed removed the bolt, checked the threads and all looked ok. I then reinstalled it while getting a bit more aggressive with the floor jack under the diff pumpkin just to make sure the screw wasn’t binging and preventing...

Oh, interesting. I didn’t realize they discontinued the GT500 a year earlier than the rest of the S550 Mustangs.

This setup uses 2020-2023 GT500 calipers and rotors. Edit: Thank you to @2020FordRaptor for the clarification. This setups uses 2020-2022 GT500 calipers and rotors.

I wanted to share an update on the front brake line install. Thank you again to @UNBROKEN and @Cruising68 for your install tips as that helped immensely. It’s no joke that the threads for the flare nuts on the hard lines are beat up from some kind of weird/aggressive install method at the...

Thank you for your appreciation and good call on the 20” wheels maybe being a possibility. With how tight things seem with the 21” wheels I didn’t see how the 20” wheels would be an option, but I suppose that’s possible since the GT500 comes with 20” wheels so the rotors/calipers could fit...

Yes, lots of concern from people with the front/rear not feeling balanced. From what I can tell the brakes feel great both at threshold braking and beyond where I’ve purposely engaged the ABS.

I’ll do the rear upgrade when someone comes up with a way to do it cost effectively. To me, I can’t see paying a minimum of $1700 for just a pair larger rear rotors and brake caliper brackets, but am hopeful someone will come up with an setup for the rear that uses OEM components of some sort to...
