Default Thermostat

Where can I find a 180 degree thermostat for an 04 GT?

EDIT: After I put it in, do I need to change anything to accept it?

Any auto parts store will have them. No you dont need to change anything after you install it.

Yeah a little bit...just keeps the engine running cooler and gives ya more even water temps. also, you'll notice your car will cool down a lil faster.

EDIT: I've read that you might gain 2-3 hp with the 180..... i wouldn't reccomend a 160....prolly lose a good bit of mpg...as car will always be running rich trying to get to temp...and the 160 will keep it runnin that rich... (stock is 193)
