  1. Borla S-Type axle back vs Borla Atak axle back

    I installed a Roush axle-back from the S550 generation on my S650 and it was exactly the sound I wanted: deeper, louder, no rasp. IMO changing mufflers + resonator is too loud and creates a vibrating tin can raspy noise I don't like. Like you, I also had a 6th gen Camaro with NPP and I pulled...
  2. Anyone else struggled deciding between EcoBoost and GT for daily driver?

    At least once a week. Cumulative 26.7MPG on my '24 Eco and 21.5MPG on my '25 GT (auto). Moderate (70-80MPH) cruising on the freeway can >25-27MPG easily sometimes, around down definitely drops it.
  3. Anyone else struggled deciding between EcoBoost and GT for daily driver?

    If you judge Ecoboost objectively, isolated from any pre-conceptions of what a Mustang/muscle car "should be", just purely as a RWD +LSD coupe making X power for Y dollars, it's an unbeatable value in the car market. Had a '24 Ecoboost, now a '25 GT, considering "downgrading" to a '26 Ecoboost...
  4. S550 Borla Axleback on S650?

    Hangers should be the same, exhaust shop should be able to install that no issue. My only nitpick using an S550 Roush axle-back on an S650 was the tips didn't stick out far enough by 1". It's kinda personal preference, how far you want the tips to stick out, but if you're taking it to a pro...
  5. 2026 Mustang RTR: Drift-Ready from the Factory: Inside the Development

    Did some more digging and I think he's mistaken or got confused by what the rep told him. In order to add the RTR package, you have to have the "High" trim first, which itself costs $2,195. Personally, I suspect the RTR package will be like $5K.
  6. 2026 Mustang RTR: Drift-Ready from the Factory: Inside the Development

    So it may be a $2,195 package according to this Raiti's Rides video If true, would be a great deal because the cost of upgraded wheels/tires/RTR grille/exterior touches alone is worth that. And you get big Brembos, Dark Horse suspension bits, the GT steering rack, the GT radiator fan, and a...
  7. 10 Speed Automatic feedback?

    At least on my 10R80 car, 3rd and 6th are rough shifts. The 3->1 shift when rolling to a stop seems consistently rough. I've unintentionally spun the car twice (including on the freeway at high speed--thankfully didn't hit anything) partly because I gave it too much throttle in the wet but also...
  8. PP Question

    I got a base auto GT zero options and I regret not getting PP and active exhaust. It's hard to find one spec'd w/PP near me (Northern California), and if one wants a good deal, probably better to go the custom order route via Granger.
  9. Impulse Buy - FP Sport/Extreme Active Axleback by Borla

    Curious to hear how it sounds compared to your stock active exhaust
  10. How clever is Ford.

    I have an Oxford white now, which gets a dirty rear end immediately. Had a Carbonized grey before and wish I had that again, color would perfectly hide the road dust
  11. Axle back exhaust

    I have a Roush axle-back for 15-17 Mustang GT's, single-tip on each side. It fits S650 GT's, but the original Roush tips are little short for the S650 chassis, should extend out like 1" longer for my tastes. I had to buy separate tips, 12" length, and they stick out like 1" too long now. Ideal...
  12. 2025 GT — 12,000 Mile Review

    10R80? That scares me about the longevity of these transmissions, especially if one has fun with the car
  13. New recall, seems to impact 2026 mustangs (EcoB engines)

    Ford REALLY needs to improve their quality control/build quality. Especially now that Mustangs are no longer the everyman's affordable fun car, and have become 50-60K for a GT That said, the good news is estimated only 6 vehicles affected and those have not been sold: "All affected vehicles are...
  14. Possible to upgrade steering wheel to get paddle shifters on Ecoboost Premium?

    For those who have done this mod: how is the response of the paddle shifters? Is it really laggy, or useable, or no different than the GT (if you've gotten to drive one)?
  15. Coolant level when cold

    Oh boy... low coolant on my '25 GT after ~9K miles. Had the same issue on my '24 Ecoboost (which had a coolant leak from the factory). I traded in that car for the GT due to the many quality defects, but my '25 GT is apparently no better. Other people having this? I never fiddled with the tank...
  16. Evidence of tiny oil leak from oil filter housing

    Did my first oil change, ~8800 miles. Noticed oil hanging on the bottom of the oil filter housing lip and some evidence it dripped onto a line nearby, maybe a small splotch on the felt undertray. Never any dash lights or error codes so far, no drips on the garage floor. I'd estimate total oil...
  17. Window Trim Issue

    My brand new '25 had chips down to bare metal on the A-pillar by the window trim, nearly covered by the rubber trim. I suspect from when they installed the trim at the factory. In the touch-up process I found that the window trim will reshape itself after some heat. You could try running a...
  18. Future Front Splitter Options

    I emailed MP Concepts earlier this year to ask them to make a more modern-style front splitter similar to the Dark Horse Handling Pack one. IMO the MP Concepts splitter is too S550-gen in style, too 2000s style--when the shapes were rounder. It fits the S550 body shape and natural lip shape...
  19. 2026 Mustang RTR: Drift-Ready from the Factory: Inside the Development

    So this car has an "auto-drift" mode, kind of like a video game cheat code. It makes sense since this car is frankly targeted at the video game/tokyo drift generation. From analyzing the videos of this car "drifting" (1: Ford's PR release, 2: a K&N Filters Facebook post), this is what I have...
  20. 2026 Mustang RTR: Drift-Ready from the Factory: Inside the Development

    I'm definitely the target demographic for this. I love everything about this car. Had a 2024 Ecoboost (now a 2025 GT) and have never been ashamed of the 4cyl, in fact very pleasantly surprised by it and like it better than my GT in some ways, which I've written about on here before. I've also...
