Cool as fellas. My mate had to drop his cradle to get an x force 4" on. Not really sure why it's a massive deal. If dont want to drop the cradle spend an extra grand on the other brands. I certainly prefer the sound on mine to the xforce and the price. I didn't have a thick wallet for big $ build. So this was a good option for me and it's served me well. Can't complain.

G'day guys. I wanted to put my 2 cents in as I've had a more positive experience with this exhaust. Firstly though comparing it to the competition you're getting a lot of metal for your money. You're looking at an extra grand for other brands for full stainless steel. For all 4" systems you have to drop the rear cradle. Regardless of brand. Fortunately I took advantage of this and fixed the diff bushes at the same time. Mines on an 09 G6e, with a GTX3582R. Last touch up tune it was pushing just over 400rwkw and flowing fine. My greatest limitation was actually the intercooler. These are a loud exhaust. They're race mufflers, next to say an x force it will drown it out. At full noise they have an awesome note. They can be a little noisey under load getting around town. Not excessive but the price you pay for straight through. Doesn't sound ridiculous like the mid muffler deletes tractors I've heard. My car is dumped on its guts. So it does scrap on the bumps. But then again so does the chassis. Being vband clamps you have to get it lined up properly otherwise it won't sit right. But once lined up it's not any lower than an xforce. I've had it on now for roughly 20,000kms. Had no issues with the welding, clamps or police! I highly recommend it, as I said at the beginning a lot of metal for your money.

Yep, the rods have part numbers on them, you can order them from ford parts, or cheaper on eBay. Getting to them is mildly difficult. Removing the ICC is relatively easy. Then the heater box is behind and below it.

I have the same issue, it's not battery related. Normally if the battery is faulty the air con just won't blow cold air. There's only three things that could cause the dual zone malfunction, 1. A faultly HIM, 2. A broken rod in the duct (common) 3. Faulty temp control actuator. Best place to start is watch the vid on YouTube that demonstrates how to remove the ICC. Access the heater module behind it. Inspect the flaps and rods in the ducting, if they're all functional next I'd start with the actuator. Unfortunately it costs $290 from ford. An electrician can test it. HIMs can be resourced from wreckers.

hey guys just reading through this, thought that there wasnt something regarding the cams that hadnt been mentioned. Im interesting in hearing what grinds KPM tested. My understanding is there isnt much room for changes in lift due to close piston to valve clearance. The major limiting factor was ford australian removing the VVTi (variable valve timing) from the coyote. (so ive read). The US version NA have benefited heaps from cam upgrades. they have stage 3-4 cams seeing 500rwhp with just an intake. beauty about these cams is the valve springs and valve train dont require any upgrading except for phaser restrictors that prevent valve overlap from the VVTi. As it stands to put any serious cams in our miami's you either need VVTi or fly cut pistons. I find it difficult to believe that decent gains cant be found, although ford did a very good job with the standard cam profile it does as KPM said come down to a cost versus gain ratio and what a customer is prepared to pay. It will be interesting when these mustangs get here in 2 years. with the NA 5.0litres and VVTi. Personally if all goes well ill be going a decent forged bottom end with enough clearance to include some dirty big cams. seen as the engine is out in pieces might as well chuck em in. The cams can be sourced from the USA for around the $1600 USD. theres plenty of research out there to read up on. the yanks have been camming their coyotes since late 2011 with awesome results. plenty of supercharged variants with big cams. look into mustang forums. one of em did a standard bottom end, stage 3 cnc heads and cam, single turbo and made over 1,000rwhp. theres another one doing the rounds at the moment with a single 76mm precision turbo making 970rwhp with dead stock internals.
