Straight pipes? A more cost efficient way to get rid of the sound, however, may be ear plugs?

On a serious note, I believe mine squeaks a little as well, but I haven't read up much on it since it hasn't bothered me all that much. Maybe someone else with more experience with it can help.

Just note that the Mustang GT power steering system takes automatic transmission fluid made by dexron- mercon.. You'll blow the power steering pump with normal power steering fluid..

I use Mercon V auto trans fluid for power steering, since that's what it calls for.
For engine coolant, I use Prestone, full strength, mixed with bottled (distilled) water.
