Noise??

Hi all,
question..i got a 2001 5 speed GT with magnapacks. Since i have put my exhaust on, when i shift into third(in a hard shift only), i hear a squeek. Sounds like belt slipage to me. when i shift into 2nd. it barks hard, and even kicks sideways, but the third just squeeks. Do you guys here this? is it normal? or what? thanks for your input..

Belt squeak, my car does it, now even more with the recent shifter install for some reason. It has been said a "gator" back belt elimantes the belt squeak and that is on my list to do this spring

RE: Noise??

you have now witness torque my friend..all Fords do the same crap..my mom's expedition, cops around here with Crown Vics, and my car same thing shifting through third..but it stopped once i put on my Steeda pullies....it is belt slippage because of the massive torque...its not a bad thing...doesnt damage the engine or anything, but get some pullies or change to a gator back belt.
