GT/CS rear diffuser and non-stock mufflers
I have a 2007 GT California Special and I'm thinking of installing the FRPP/Borla M-5230-5GT exhaust (just the axle back). Somewhere I remember seeing a comment that the rear diffuser on the CS can be melted by certain after market exhausts.
Does anyone have experience with this? I guess I should call Ford Racing to check, but wanted you guys' opinion first. Current mods are BBK throttle body, Steeda CAI, XCal3 tune. Many thanks, BritStang |
keep decent clearance between plastic bits and hot ass exhaust and you should be fine. I use 1/4" as my minimum space. Pipes with oversize chrome tips, maybe a tad more.

Cheers r3dn3ck, thanks for the tip.

I installed the FRPP GT "borla stinger" mufflers and the x-pipe kit from FRPP. I had the Flowmaster kit for the 05-07 GT before that as well. I have had no problems with my diffuser on my 07 GT/CS, with either set.
-Just FYI, the FRPP exhaust sounds awesome. I would go that route. The Flowmasters didn't hold up too well...IMO. had a cracked baffle on one after the warranty expired. |

So what made you decide to go with the Magnapacks? I was looking at Corsa, FRPP/Borla, and Magnaflow... and was even considering SLP's...
My Ford performance shop in the area didn't have those in stock, but had the FRPP stingers and the FRPP x-pipe converter. I love the Borla-Ford Racing variant... looks the best on the car IMO... they drone a little bit at 1800-2000rpm, but when I get on it with the x, it sounds like "I am legend..." Post a sound clip...would love to hear your Magnapacks and setup... I will try and get a clip of mine when it stops snowing...f ing chicago weather... |
