Are you referring to the light metallic ringing noise? I've also heard it sometimes on my 2025 base auto GT a few times when letting off low throttle. I haven't heard it enough to piece together the specific conditions for it, but you may be on to something.

My 6th gen Camaro came from the factory with a layer of clear hard plastic protecting this area. It did work, I had a couple nicks in that plastic after 15K miles before I sold the car. My Camry also had a similar hard clear plastic 'factory PPF' along the rear doorsills. Ford should totally...

That's what I'm thinking of doing. Also happens to be the cheapest, easiest, least-intrusive option. Another thing for base (single-tip) exhaust owners is the 2015-2017 axlebacks also fit (according to Steeda videos and at least one major Mustang parts website). I was hoping to find some older...

@Skye thanks for the internal pic. I think it basically confirms my understanding is correct. Active exhaust has basically a straight-through pipe (similar to muffler delete) that can be closed off so that exhaust gets shunted to another pathway (muffled path). Therefore, it's like a toggle-able...

OP shows a different connector than what I posted. OP's is 5-pin, but I'm showing a different 3-pin connector by the rain sensor itself (the thing that looks like an encased coin battery). The 3-pin is technically the rain sensor connector. Base model Mustangs don't have a 5-pin like OP, but we...

The rain sensor plug you're piggybacking off of to power your radar detector--which wire is positive and which one is ground? I don't have a multimeter right now Is it like this?

How does active exhaust full loud (track mode/locked open/fuse-pulled) compare to a muffler delete? Had a Camaro with active exhaust and it seemed to be basically a variable muffler delete. I pulled the fuse to make it perma-open for the entire 4 years I owned it, so got no value out of the...

Recently picked up a 2025 Mustang in California (front plate state) and the dealer surprisingly did not drill into the front of any of their Mustangs on their lot. Just had to sign a form with the F&I guy saying I didn't want them to install front plate. Was a pleasant surprise.

There DOES appear to be a factory screen protector on there. For MY2024 it was like OP pic, slightly smaller than the screen itself, so you can see the raised edge on the screen surface. For MY2025, the factory screen protector is actually slightly bigger than the screen and extends beyond the...

My 2024 Mustang Ecoboost was low on coolant (and maybe a slow leak?), traded in for a 2025 Mustang GT and took pictures of the starting coolant and oil levels after I got back from the dealership, mostly for monitoring purposes. The levels were OK on this one

For 2025's that sounds about right. 2024 base GTs were under 40K in May-June 2024. Lowest prices tend to be mid-Atlantic volume dealers: Ourisman, Koons, Sheehy in the MD/VA area. Some of those franchises have multiple locations in that area. They'll advertise like 6-7K under MSRP (+1K...

Unfortunately, I don't think you can start in the quietest mode. Cars run louder on startup because of needing to get the catalytic converter up to temp/build backpressure or something like that. I too want to be considerate of my neighbors and HOAs and the only solution I could think of was...

Depends how picky and meticulous of a person you are. Personally I'd want a new rim, but if it's a smalltime seller and they don't stock multiple of these, you may just have to accept mobile repair, DIY touch-up paint/body shop match, or like 25-50% discount off that one wheel

Walmart SuperTech Full Synthetic/High Mileage have been found to be value kings. If you can get Costco Kirkland on-sale, it can be even cheaper (recently on-sale @ $35 for 12 quarts). Personally I skip the plastic fasteners, the bellypan doesn't need em to stay secure. Simplifies the...

Got the Ecoboost for do-everything balance of style, efficiency, daily use, not worrying too much if I park it downtown. Came from Camaro + Camry, got tired of hand-maintaining 2 vehicles. Kinda regret selling the Camaro... miss that V8 low-end torque to instantly break the rear loose anytime...

SSM 52444 Rear end chrip | Page 2 | Mustang7G - 2024+ S650 Mustang Forum (Dark Horse, GT, EcoBoost, GT500, GT350, Mach 1)

I'm guessing they might publish an SSM ("Special Service Memo", lower tier than a TSB, which is lower tier than a recall, of which there are various tiers), but I highly doubt they will proactively do anything unless the owner complains about it.

I have swapped wheels/tires back and forth between a base Ecoboost set and a base GT set, here's what I learned. S650 TPMS sensors: F2GZ-1A189-G aka TPMS74 The old TPMS19 re-learn tool works on these new TPMS74 sensors, but you don't actually need it (I bought one and haven't used it). Just...

Ford used to include a convex mirror portion on Mustangs standard. They also had driver-facing LED turn signals in the hood vents of 2016 Mustang GTs standard. And LED lighting in the auto transmission stalk to show D R N etc. And paddle shifters on Ecoboosts standard until 2021. As someone...

Thanks for the tip. Found the video and here's the direct link to the exact moment of the video for anyone else trying to reference this: "What Ford said was, A-plan or below. That was their wording."
