I know someone who's not sleeping waiting for that Whipple. I just left mine off never even tried to put it on I just thought if it could fit Whipple would have showed you how to do it. However now I might start looking at it.
Yes sir. Tomorrow morning! I've got bigger problems though waiting to find out how the 20" rims and tires will work out post whipple install or whether I have to drive out my stock HP rims and tires and have Ford mount those before end of installation. Then sell my 20s and order a set of 19s with Michelins on them.

Some people back in the S550 forums were using like washers to clear the Roush or Whipple and also removing the under hood insulation. My GT500 hood didn't have any insulation and the paint on it was fine so I imagine the Dark Horse would be same same.

Interesting. I don’t think they come notched. Def looks like he painted it after.

Joel did a video last week where he installed it in his GT without any cutting.

can you post that video?


I have been debating picking one of these up during my fall or winter acquisitions phase. But I have other priorities first like those axles you and I have been talking about. Trying to get those into Canada is ridiculous and beefcake hasn’t responded to me so the hunt continues.

Thanks for the video. This one looks like it's more for looks than function. I just saw one where it looked like a modified stock bar just noched to clear.

that is unfortunate if it does not do the job of a strut tower brace. Wish we had more options.
