Interior noise isn’t that bad. They’re really not that loud. My son’s stock s550 with active exhaust is louder. I’ve been tempted to get an H pipe and feel there’s room in the volume of sound, except for cold starts in the garage. I live in a nice neighborhood and don’t want to draw the ire of...
I have an S550 Roush black dual tip axle back on my S650. It’s more of a straight through resonator style. Not overly loud except cold start up in my garage. Compared to other mustangs, including active exhaust vehicles like my son’s S500 without a resonator delete (x or h pipe) it’s relatively...
Ford doesn’t make one for the S650 GT. They stopped in 2021. The 2022 and 2023 S550 Mustangs didn’t have the option either because of new emissions equipment (narrower intake tube, carbon trap filter), which is why they also lost 10 hp. But here’s the part number and link for that.

Then why did you comment about it in the first place? I wasn’t initially replying to you. Calm down and go for a drive in your smog spewing, gas guzzling, climate changing, people killing, conspicuous consumption exhibiting, civilization exterminating, oil and fuel consuming Mustang and be happy.
DEF. One of the reasons I won't buy a new Diesel. At least the US government is allowed to buy DEF free Diesels. Not sure if that'll be an option for the rest of us with this regulatory roll back. In the mean time my son has been searching for pre-def like Ford 7.3 and older Dodge/RAM Cummins...
I was actually replying to someone else about Al Gore's position in the US as a climate change mass extinction huckster. When in reality (and a lot of people even here in the US don't know this) he's an investment banker and literally put his money where his mouth is and made a lot along the way...
I don't disagree as I think the target was more MPG than Emissions, but I don't know for sure as I haven't had time to digest the specifics (I was hoping that was what this thread was about). I think this is going after the future "regulation" from the executive branch Environmental Protection...
I thought a bunch of the change is for future regulation, pending higher MPG CAFE Standards, removing the provision about individual states (California CARB specifically) driving products/solutions for all states. If there's a relaxation in existing standards, I wouldn't expect much core change...
Yep, agree.
My next vehicle is one of those EV robo-taxis to come pick me up at the bar when I've had too much fun. More of a "cheaper than a DUI" utility vehicle.
I'd also keep my ICE cars for the sheer enjoyment of driving, Mustang for on-road, Jeep for off-road, wife's SUV for road trips.
So agree.
My wife drives 1 mile to work and mostly makes local runs (Costco, Target, WalMart, etc. the usual suburban haunts). She would have definitely benefited from an EV. We even put a solar array on our house about 12 years ago to be good neighbors.
But, about 2 years ago I thought it...
For those that didn't know, this is the real Al Gore...

Not only made big monies on big investments in alternative energies, but also made money on books and movies to peddle his message. Seems this was about green (money, not energy)...
It is not required for S550 or S650 Torsens. It won't hurt and it is not already in the Motorcraft fluid that Ford sells by the quart over the counter. I can't say that it's that way if the shop or dealer have it already in bulk or use fluid from a different vendor (Amsoil, Valvoline, etc.)...
I thought Dark Horse has Torsen, which does not use clutches (the limited slip is from it's worm gear design), therefore they don't need the friction modifier. Can't hurt to have it in other than it stinks and cost money and must be a certain proportion (otherwise there will be too much or not...
That one Silver 2025 6 speed manual with PP and Prem being $10k off seems to be a SMOKING deal (basically those packages are free). The blend date being mid September, definitely not on the lot that long. I'd be wary about driving that one home in wintry conditions with those tires, they're not...
The 2024 Monroney's (based on $1225 Active Exhaust) are very weird, but the 2025 (based on $1595 Active Exhaust) seem normal. In all the hundreds of Mustang window stickers, I've never seen them look like the 2024's. I even went to the generic Ford Window Sticker web site (that is, not through...
The one with $1595 active valve exhaust isn’t a first year car. The one with the $1200 active exhaust is. Neither of them are “Job 1” within the first 6 months (June - December of 2023) because stop/start stop wasn’t available. If you can see the full Monroney sticker you can see the blend date...
