All the time? ****. I've seen 2 other terminators on the road since they came out. I see A LOT of mustangs. I see even less Cobras. And even less terminators.

They only made like ~9k in 03, and ~5k in 04.

LoL@Flip flops. Wtf are you talking about?

FORD ? Fix or repair daily? haha jk

What are they breaking? The only thing to break in these really is the IRS, or motor damage, but these motors are stout as hell, and have been known to push 900RWHP on the stock internals. Other than that, the only time I hear of people having issues is from the factory defect (head tick).

Just have a hard time believing "5 or 6" terminators come in "all the time" for breaking something.

Yes well the IRS is a big problem and then they start putting smaller pullies and drag radials on they snap like a twig. Also we have had two recently that have bent the input shats on the trans from the hard launches

Input shaft breaks from power shifting not from hard launching. But guys have been known
to be at 700HP+ on the stock 10-spline shaft.

But the IRS is actually pretty sturdy, you just have to watch launching at the track. Without buying an IRS brace, you are risking grenading your pumpkin. I have only an IRS Brace, other than that, the IRS is solid until you start pushing some big ponies.

That's surprising though those yokes breaking the inputs, back awhile ago a lot of track guys bombed their inputs powershifting like SOBs at the track and a lot of terminator owners got scared and upgraded to a 26-spline. I don't think it's necessary as long as you quick/speed shift instead of full-throttle powershifting... i just couldn't do that to my car, i'd cringe.

Yeah, there's a big following of people who hate flowmasters.

I bought the car with the flows already on it. I tried selling/trading the Flow C/B but came up empty. So when I bought the UPR X-pipe I figured i'd just see how it sounded and if i still didn't like it I'd go with another C/B and just trash the Flows.

After the X-pipe though I really liked the sound.

This might sound funny, but honestly, you'd have to hear it in person to get the true sound, the clip does it no justice.

Also, the only time I ever have a rattle is at idle-rev, under load it sounds 10x better.

I been tryin to get a few cruising/WOT vids, but haven't had enough time to get to a safe road to bullshit around on to try it.
