Hello everyone,

So I just purchased my first Mustang this past Saturday

and I'm already wanting to learn how to free the hidden ponies from my Stang. I would really appreciate any help you guys or gals may be able to contribute. I live in North Carolina so emmisions and smog restrictions are a thing of the past. My Mustang is a 89 LX 5.0 HO hatch car with a T5 manual transmission with only 62,000 org. miles. The color is Ferrari Orange with 17" Salleen wheels. It has a K&N drop in air filter and what looks like a set of shorty headers on it "Not Really Sure thou

." Anyone know what the stock manifolds look like? This was my dream car, and I would of owned a Mustang sooner but my wife and I have been looking for over 3 years for something special like this one.

Thanks for taking the time to read my first post.

You live in NC and have no smog or emissions? Hmm. I live in NC too but still have the visual check, not the sniffer. But if it's missing, you up the creek. You'll meet some of the most receptive people here on this site and there'll be lots of good info too. Have fun.

After they took the sniffer away the Stations around here became etremely lenient as for exhaust. All they are really checking is safety.
