Lmao laughing at the wife saying "remember when I was telling" and you were like "not right now" lol. They always want to talk to us right in the middle of something haha.
Good to see you well Al. You should have replaced the resonator with an X-pipe while you had your exhaust out. I think you'd love the sound as I did. Love the cat outtakes btw. Nothing better than a furry friend. Stay safe!
saleen367. . Thanks Bud .. I trust you and your family are well. .. Our furry friend "Smokey" Is doing well. . he is now 11 years old .. we almost lost him in January so we feel Blessed to have him. ..
I’ll tell you why I like this video… You’ve got two guys, who work together well as a team, who have the right tools, and have obviously done this before. You have to appreciate experience! On another note, glad you’re staying in and taking things seriously. All these young yahoos running around for no good reason are just putting us oldish farts at risk. Humbug! Oh yeah, Happy Easter! 😁
Happy Easter Mike . . Hope all is well with you and the Mrs!! we know better. . actually it was mid febuary when we decided to stay in. . . I've worked to hard in my life to have it end now . .
Al, dammit, one piece driveshaft. Perfect time. Do you think a diff cooler like the gt350 would have helped. Al, no x-pipe come on brother..it's 2020...that car has not been driven in the rain. Beautiful.
thereissomecoolstuff . .. well my friend, i like to keep things quiet. . also my o'l lady drives this car so for that reason i leave the stock stuff on. .. . But a diff cooler is a pretty good idea . . i'll look into that!!
@@coyotecarguy2076 I almost bought one off a wrecked gt350. Its more for the road course people. They heat those little rear diffs like crazy. Get the xpipe. First thing I bought on my whipple. Kept the stock mufflers and am very happy. Car breathes better to. $110. If your gonna drag Al, you have to address the exhaust sooner or later take some more 10th's off. The Orange car is getting fast. Really fast.
Al your grass is nice and green,. you must be watering it like crazy. I live up in Dunedin and I think we've had maybe .005" of rain since end of Feb... Aren't you all in the same dry pattern down there in Ft. Meyers?
Tony M. . . Our Lawn gets watered like 3 times a week. . . Lawn Maintenance is managed by the HOA . . this is the dry season so we are lucky to have the grass look so nice!
Atticaz . . those bushings were installed in july of 2018.. . . .My new rear is quiet even with the bushings . .. . my old rear went bad because i beat the crap out of the car from the first day i got it!!! LOL!!!
Getting thru Life .. . Yes Chadi is a good friend . . I really appreciate him dropping everything he was doing to put my rear in. i am lucky to know him
Nice to see it Al, I went to one of the modern 1200hp 6 pinion torsens in my 1200hp 67 Camaro....and my god did it make it easier to steer under power than locker or clutch.... I was thinking early on id get a torsen for the on V Raptor when I had trouble staying straight ( thinking one side was putting down more than other and looking back on how torsen smoothed out the 67) but then I read " they suck for drag racing" with S550. Now I certainly don't want you to break but I'm super stoked you went to one and will be going to track like many other things you've tested for us....I dont feel you get enoufb credit for the information you've helped new guys to s550 out with by doing it
BlueCollarDaily .. .Thanks Bud! I have been told that the torsen is not good for drag racing due to the way it distributes power to the wheels. . . but i have a few friends that drag race PP1 cars with torsen's and i am not hearing any problems. This rear had 800 miles on it. . i couldn't pass it up.. .
@@coyotecarguy2076 I wouldn't either but im so confused can't wait till you get it out there....when I went to high HP torsen on my 67 it locks both wheels perfectly its impossible for one to not put down exactly the same power as the other literally...and will go around corners without any "ratcheting" like my locker....it instantly made my car ( 1200hp) more stable...as you seen with your rear end CLUTCHES are what can put more out on one tire than the other not a torsen, i just figured maybe they are weaker on s550 or something? One thing for sure if you like i love it...if it holds your car it will hold mine and when I have trouble with my clutches, I'll go to one as well
I just put a H pipe in my car and I love it, I also noticed I have a steel rear differential housing and I thought steel came with the performance pack, I guess I have it backwards because I just have a standard Mustang GT, I guess aluminum goes in the performance pack Mustangs for a lighter weight I think I would rather have the steel anyway which I do thankfully ... stay safe.
I'm surprised that the cast iron case differential is lighter. Since you're drag racing the car I was wondering if something like Redline's shockproof line of differential oils would be good for your application.
PRO 5.0 .. . Thanks for posting Bud! Yes even though chadi said the cast iron diff seemed lighter . obviously it is not. ... even though 3.55's are not optimal for my car, they are close. .. general consensus is that 3.15's are to tall for my combo as i am not making enough power. .. .3.31's would be optimal. . taller tires with my 3.55' will get me there. .. also considering i run 1/8th mile a lot the 3.55's are a good gear for that. not looking to make more power any time soon. . besides the diff i got was bolt in . . with 800 miles on it i saw it as my best option . .
IMGONEIN60 . . . Thanks Man . . Hope all is well with you and the Mrs.. .. . The rear i got came from a 2019 pp1 car with a 10 speed. . . . it is a torsen in a cast iron case . .. it bolted right in!!! and yes it is a 3.55 same ratio as i had before..
Great video al.... I can’t believe you still have the resonator not an x or h pipe at this point of your build after all she has been through.. That was like one of the first things I did to my 18 was a x pipe.. But hey whatever you like ,, car looks great!! Scott z
Mustang Scott76 .. . Thanks Bud! i keep the stock exhaust on the car because i like to keep it quiet. . . i really dont like noisy exhaust. . neither does my O'l Lady
Coyote carguy trust me brother, I understand... I’m just saying the x pipe won’t mess with your stock exhaust, unless you open it to track mode.. But hey to each his own.... stay safe brotha’
question i noticed he left the axles in place did he just pop them out if the diff ? i am in process of doing superpro diff and subframe bushing upgrade with toe link already have full steeda catalog
Great Video Al. I was wondering what the status of Orange was, glad to know its healthy again. Smokey looks like he was taking it easy while you and your wife were laboring in the heat.
Awesome buddy! I remember taking the front and rear diff bushings out in the garage was a pain. The front ones are bad to get to. Did you consider to go for the black bushings? I would have send you mine unused ones if the freight would have not been more than the value of the bushings :D The beard is coming along good :) and the house is coming along nicely. Remember when you showed the area for the first time when there was nothing there almost. Stay safe
Hey Maz! I never considered the Black Bushings. i thing the street ones are to tight as they are. . if i still had the stock bolts i would take these red ones out . . just like you did . .. so i am stuck with them until i find another way to get them out .
AL I have the same Steeda red differential bushing at the rear like yours, do you have the other two red bushing installed in the front of the sub assembly. I didn’t installed them because it is a thight fit so the car ride better and no hopping with other Steeda IRS suspension parts.
Glad you got the torsen diff, I'm assuming it's the same one thats in the performance pack.. just wondering if you stayed with the 3.73 in the torsen?... I just did my 2nd Mcleod clutch... urggg this time on the ground not fun at all.. glad to see your good and keep moving forward Al,.. great content!!!
@@coyotecarguy2076 Im a car guy lol. been doing this since i was 13 ish 57 ish now lol. Headers dont have to be loud. Boost is just back pressure, you will make more power with less power loss from driving the blower. I like it pretty loud, mostly deaf ne way :)
Please tell me you have a drive-shaft safety loop? If you don't please get one, if you plan on going back to the drag strip. I have seen some bad things happen in 30 years of racing.
@@coyotecarguy2076 Stifflers makes a good one for your Mustang. You could have it in and ready to go in under an hour. Would hate to see you lose an arm or leg. That stock driveshaft will let go... Stay Safe
Hello Al, Good to see all is well and happy Easter. But I wanted to ask. Didn't you have to have your tuner do some chances to the tune, considering the new rear end has a different ratio? Also you should have used oppertunity when it was on the lift to add some cat delete pipes, cause you are now both new running the stage 2 hardware and don't have to worry with inspection in Florida
Einar Ingi Einarsson . . Happy Easter to you to Bud! . . The new rear has the same gear ratio so no tune changer were necessary . . . . Even though most people here in florida will go with Long tubes . .. I decided not to do that . .. its still illegal and its big trouble if you get caught. . . Besides i like to keep things quiet .. . this car is making plenty of power as it sits so i am gonna leave the stock exhaust on it. .
@@coyotecarguy2076 Thanks for always replying Al. I thought your stock rear was either 3,15 or 3,31. my mistake!;-) As for the exhaust, I am with you on the noise. But aren't you a bit worried with melting a cat? also you are running much more backpressure with them,witch is never ideal.. I mentioned the "cat delete pipes" as they much more inexpensive then long tubes and much easier to install or swap back and worth with cats if that would be needed in regards to inspection. I have asked myself, what doesn't anyone offer like a H pipe, that is all build out of resonators. Don't you think that could work to lower the volume without really effect the exhaust flow?
@@OUTTATIMEMTL . . Well Dude that was wishful thinking. . . july and august are the months i like to get out of here. . . .i would love to go to Montreal!
Nathan McGuire. . .. I did a video last month showing the stock rear was not getting posi traction at the track . .. the clutches were worn out and the rear was Howling very loud so i had to either replace the rear or rebuild the traction lok and set a new ring and pinion. .. i elected to buy a PP1 rear with 800 miles on it .. . Now i have a stronger case and a torsen differential .. . running the same gear ratio so no tune adjustment needed ..
My two rear wheel bearings were replaced on my 2018 GT because of a grinding noise. But it’s still grinding when on drive and turn. Do you think the differential might be it?
When you swap the rear diff like you did will you need an alignment afterwards? Had a guy swap a 3.55 diff into my originally 3.15 car and now the rear ended feels a little off. Kinda wobbles when going down the road. I don’t hear any weird noises though
@@coyotecarguy2076 interesting. Any idea why the rear end wobbles now? Guy I took it to mentioned something about using a spring compressor so I feel like he disassembled a lot of the rear suspension…I know nothing about this kind of thing so forgive me
@@seth_owens i dont know how he did the install .. but id does sound like he may have disassembled the rear suspension .. if so bring it to ford to re-align it. . or at least check it.
NutNbutSpeed . Whats up Bud! I found this rear on ebay. . it was not cheap but with 800 miles on it, it was my best option.. .. i am thinking of a diff cooler . . at some point maybe .
Michael Ward . . . . Yes i still have the stock drive shaft. . . so far it is holding up. . . but most people say i should get a one piece at this point..
James Williams. . . This 2019 10 speed pp1 rear has a 3.55 gear in it.. . same gear as i had in the old rear.. . i wanted a 3.31 but this one was my best option. .
What gears you have now then if it’s a pp rear end. Do they let you pick when you order. Looks like. Big pain in the ass job like you said. Guy has a nice setup al good to have friends like that. Anybody see his big persuasion bar he says he is tapping shit was bent Lmao.
Hey fran. . .. running 3.55's just like the old rear so no tune adjustment. . Chadi is set up pretty good with his home shop... . .Lol, That persuasion bar has seen a lot of Hits!!! This rear came out of a 2019 pp1 car with a 10R80 . . bolted right in. .
Coyote carguy I didn’t know you had the pp1 option package with the 355 gears. I thought you had the premium package base with the 315s. It’s a simple tune adjust if it’s gear change. If you had the 355s your gonna be all good but If you had 315s and went to 355s your 60 foot should improve some.
tominator. . . It's tough to find a used one that suites my needs perfectly. . most everybody says i should go with 3.15's . . . but i dont think i have enough power for that . . . i really wanted 3.31's. .. but a used 3.31 is from a manual car that has a different pinion flange. .. a 3.31 would be enough to keep the car from shifting into 7th gear at the end of the 1/4 mile . . . The rear i found was from a automatic car with the correct pinion flange, has 800 miles on it and is a pp1 rear. torsen diff, cast iron case but it's a 3.55 .. not exactly what i wanted but i must say this rear is silent and that makes me happy. .
@@coyotecarguy2076 That's the main thing, as long as it is healthy. I hope it works well for you and that orange beastie! For me, I am searching for another Terminator Cobra. I was the victim of an oil slick on Friday the 13th last month. I thought I would keep that dream car of mine for the rest of my days, but it's gone in the snap of a finger! Breaks my heart to think about it.
@@tomkjr1 . . Dude, That sucks!!!!!!! Well i am sure you will find another one. . they are out there. . i almost bought a yellow one 2 months ago. . coupe. . 15,000 miles $20k
@@coyotecarguy2076 That's just about what I have to spend. I am looking at a DSG Vert that has the same mods as mine did. I didn't realize what a mustang addict I am until now that I don't have one! 'Sucks' is indeed the word my friend!
On another note. I did my diff swap, myself, from 3.15 to a 3.55 in my garage on jack stands and only used a regular car jack. Yeah. It’s pretty dangerous. Anyone attempting this swap in their garage definitely needs a second set of hands.
