SLP LM1 axle back swap from 05 GT to 08 GT/CS

mikevm78 · April 25th, 2008, 04:38 PM

were going to be swapping the SLP kit off the 05 to the 08. and then put the stock 08 system back on the 05. Any issues we might run into??

Thanks!

no. Should be good with no problems.

06VistaGT · April 25th, 2008, 04:47 PM

nah, should be an easy, no hassle task.

yes, there will be an issue. you will need to order a set of exhaust hangers for the 2008. Ford went cheap on us midway through 07 and made them not reusable. They are around $50 bucks from brenspeed.com

06VistaGT · April 25th, 2008, 04:51 PM

damn, i wasn't aware of that. thats crappy of Ford getting cheap.

no they aren't... do your research before posting buddy

Juco I will have to disagree with you.
My son "gottorq" has an 08 and bought the hangers with his pypes exhaust.
He didnt need them and reused the stock hangers, he ended up sending the new hangers back.

Some of the 07+ cars only had 1 set of hangers installed from the factory and you needed to purchase the other set. I have an early 05 and mine only came with 1 set, so not all may have the second set of hangers. So go look under the car and you can see if both sides have 2 sets.
