What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Installed the MRT Intercepter mufflers and played with a couple side pipe disc sizes. Ended up with the blank plates for now.

Ordered the MRT mid pipe.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Dropped it off at the the dealer today with a laundry list that I have been waiting to get around to. All problems that many have already seen.

- Paint peeled on inner fender due to brake fluid drip
- Tick at idle (exhaust leak or pulley TSB)
- Rough 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shifting
- Rear end whining loud as hell at 76 mph
- Surging under partial throttle.

Anybody know if the rumored new factory tune for the 2013 Boss was ever put out?

Gonna be without my baby for several days. Bummer. :-\

Installed fresh Pagid pads with Hard Brakes Ti shims, bled brakes along with the usual checking of suspension bolts and track prep. All set for Sonoma on Aug. 4th with the NorCal Shelby Club. Anyone else going?

Sir, yes sir! Let's get a garage.

Yes it was released last December. Don't expect much from it though as cars are still throwing codes. Read below.

I could be wrong, but other than the peeled paint,you may want to prepare yourself for the inevitable dealership responses like, " unable to duplicate", and "(insert your issue here) found to be operating within normal range". I have brought up the surging, the ticking, and the rear end whine to my dealership, only to get told there are no problems/everything is operating properly. I wil try this all again at my next service(definitely at another dealer). Good Luck!

Installed CoolTech Soundpipe Delete and MMD Hood Struts. Two REQUIRED mods that took less than 45 minutes for both.

removed the exhaust discs and added this

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

dropped it off again for more bodywork

On a positive note, some surprises in store for when I get it back. I figured might as well improve some other items so I feel better about the thing altogether.

Details sketchy at this time. The long and short of it is that my insurance is having to cover it. Collision, not-at-fault, but I'm sure I'll see a rate hike. Just can't win with this car

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

horrible rainy day pictures and yes my shed is falling down. new one is this weekends project.
but RTR wing and RTR rear deck lid thing.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Looks clean, loving the deck-lid. I hated that faux gas cap crap. I have my deck-lid waiting. Did you remove the small RTR logo? If you did, what method did you use for removal?

A great way to turn a negative into a positive...

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Had the dealer install a FR shifter and buff out a scratch that mysteriously appeared on the back bumper. Much better on both!
