    Its been ridiculously hot here in socal recently. So I resorted to polishing and ceramic coating the car during the night. The compound would just dry up and create dust everywhere during the day, so It was a lot cooler at night and was nicer to work on as well. Milwaukee m18 DA polisher with...

    I decided to cut out the baffles on the boss 302 side pipes so they can breathe a little easier and a little more sound gets out. took it to my local exhaust shop and they welded on 1 3/4 pipe, I think? I forget the size of the pipe they put on.

    S197 extended wheel stud options

    I don't know how I missed that hole,but it works with the msi gt4 extended studs. Looks like I wont have to remove the axles to change a stud in the future. Thank you

    S197 extended wheel stud options

    yes, the axles are currently out of the rear end and being drilled out for the larger m14 studs in the next few days. I was just looking at the gt500 rear brackets and axles and it just didn't look like I can replace a stud in the future if I needed to without removing the axles.

    S197 extended wheel stud options

    Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm hoping this works as the car is getting the opmustang.com m14 gt4 racing wheel studs and they are long.

    S197 extended wheel stud options

    looks like to install the extended studs on the rear, the axles need to be removed. Is this correct? Am I missing something or is this the only way?
