Hi,

I'm interested in getting the Ford Racing Power Pack for my '06 Mustang GT S197, but it seems that it is out of stock everywhere I asked. Example: http://www.americanmuscle.com/fordra...ck-0509gt.html

The reason why I want this pack is because it has CARB EO # D-598-4 (I live in California). I could not find other packs where all parts are certified.

There's a lot of shops that now sell the parts separately and have the parts available. Cold air intake/tune (M-9603-GTB), muffler set (M-5230-S) and oil filter (CM-6731-FL820).

But only the cold air intake + tune (M-9603-GTB) show the CARB EO # and it actually is a different EO # (D-598-2) with just the intake/tune.

Does anyone have this pack and/or can answer a couple of questions?
- Was there a document with the pack that mentions the actual parts included in the EO?
- Does the muffler have an EO # on it?
- Does the muffler even require an EO #? Will I have a smogging/noise problem with getting the mufflers?

Thanks.

 

Mufflers do not require a CARB EO. You can basically change anything in the exaust behind the rear O2 sensors which is just downstream of the cats. oil filter is a consumable and does not require a CARB EO. Intake does require a CARB EO. The tune... if all sensors are reading in normal ranges, they can't tell if a tune is loaded on a 2006.

 

Thanks! I think it depends on the noise only. I actually ordered the Bullit Mufflers which seem to be 50 state legal in terms of noise. I also don't like my car to be too loud, so that's okay.

So I checked on just the air intake kit. It's discontinued by Ford, as well. Now looking for a 50 state legal cold air intake (with tune!), but can't find no other than the Ford Racing Pack. Any ideas?

 

If you can't find a 50 state legal CAI anywhere, you could improve your stock system by cutting away the base of the airbox and inserting a K&N flat panel filter.

 

I wouldn't worry so much about getting a CARB number for the tune portion, You can always ask for an emissions tune which you can put on your car a week before going for a smog test, or leave on it all the time.
Here's an available intake that has a CARB EO: http://www.stage3motorsports.com/173...ir-Intake.html

 

Thanks guys, that's good information.

I think I will get this intake http://www.americanmuscle.com/cnl-cai-0509gt.html in combination with a 91 octane tune using the bama X4 flash tuner.

Cheers!
