Good for you. That isn't even close to what I was quoted by my dealer and they get the parts from the same place yours does.

 

I didn't check the link. Just wanted to get that out there for those that don't know.

And yes, those are beefy bolts!

 

I just installed some flowmasters axle backs and now it sounds like my exhaust is hanging and bouncing off the floor boards when I hit bumps in the road. I checked it all out and cannot find a spot that rubs or is loose. I cannot even move the pipes enough to hit anything. I even took the mufflers off and reinstalled them....noise is still there. Gonna jack it up again this weekend and keep looking. What in the rear suspension could be knocking around back there? I am at a loss.

 

Does it make the noise when you first drive it and the pipes have not had enough time to fully heat up? Or just when everything is hot? What I'm getting at is thermal expansion will close up a small clearance that you absolutely cannot force shut by hand. Maybe not even with a come-along. If this is the case, look for small clearances where an exhaust system component passes closely in front of some piece of chassis.

If you had to loosen anything at all during your install, check it for proper torque.

The stock motor mounts are so floppy that they allow the motor to twist enough to bounce the tailpipes off of the bumper cover.

 

Sorry, next time I won't bring up the fact that some things can be had for less money. Spend away Mr. Moneybags.

 

Perhaps you could maybe indicate WHERE you got all those fasteners for so much less than the Ford dealer? That would be a lot more help than simply spitting out "Well I got them for less" which is essentially all you did there. They weren't Ford parts were they?

 

Tactics like overt boasting and not telling the whole story does not constitute tech, and it certainly isn't very helpful.

Where can the rest of us come by this sort of deal?

The stock bolts can be re-used several times. I've reused every fastener in my suspension. I check them periodically for torque and they still meet requirements years after the fact.

This is simply Ford CYA. I can't believe how many people they've hooked.

Just1Guy is that douchebag Squidd from All Ford Mustangs that is hated everywhere he goes.
