FIRST thing to buy when you get a Mustang!!!
Well fellas... I always thought the first thing to do when you got a Mustang was to remove the air silencer, bump timing, etc. BEFORE you do ANYTHING.... Go somewhere and buy a compressor and use air tools!! I baught a Husky compressor (not the best but it gets the job done) last year that came with a air ratchet, air hammer, paint gun, grease gun, sander, air sprayer thing lol, etc. It was $300 total and the best investment I think I ever made in my life.
I was talking my exhaust off last night so when I get my SLP's tomorrow I can just put them on and not have to worry about anything. Well, it took my about 1/2 hour to turn the one bolt (bolts connecting catback to h pipe) two full rotations. I than realized that I have air tools!! I got the bolts off within MINUTES.
EVERYONE WHO WORKS ON THEIR MUSTANGS... IF YOU DONT USE AIRTOOLS.. SAVE UP A FEW HUNDRED AND GO BUY SOME. ITS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!
Thats it....

RE: FIRST thing to buy when you get a Mustang!!!
Definetly... I was getting soooooooo frustrated because the bolts were sooo rusted out. I grabed my air ratchet and BANG... literally about 3-4 mintus to get all four off. I'm not telling any of my friends though because then they will all want to bring their cars to my house to work on them lol haha

I just thought that I would throw this out in the open in case people dont think about it. Because think its so expensive to use air tools but its really not ya know. Just taking my exhaust off its already worth it lol
