My Girlfriends 2.4 SS had to be towed, the fuel lines were leaking right over the exhaust pipe and the car stunk like gas.

I wouldn't call it a just a drip, but not quite a stream...it was right before the muffler.

Common issue with them. I think I'm gonna order the kit Powell sells to fix it because I figure I'm only a year or so away from it happening. Even happens on cars not exposed to salt. Check his kit out Steve, much cheaper than paying a dealer to install all new lines. Splice in hose with compression fittings. Even comes with a new shield.

Ah I would but she already had it towed to her familys mechanic who is looking at it this morning.

Is it really an expensive repair though? didn't look like much beyond a fitting initially when I was looking under it.

Might replace mine preventatively lol ...or for all I know it was done already before I owned the car lol

My tank was leaking and they fixed it under recall, but the recall was only for cars originally sold in certain US states

The tank is a recall. But the lines under the exhaust shield get moisture trapped against them and rust out. In front of the rear drivers side tire. Thinking powells kit was an easy self install for the lines verses a dealer probably charging $400 to run all new lines.

My graph from their mustang dyno has me at 379hp and 356 lb-ft.

The dyno I got video on my phone was at the max of 395hp and 378 lb-ft.

I need to contact Powell about this, I would rather fix it before it becomes a problem

It was my understanding that the rusting lines was a recall or a tsb they were fixing for free

Swapped the shifter spring, installed a ZZP Short throw shifter mod and the aluminum base bushings. Took all the 112k slop out the factory shifter. Shorter throws, less play in the shifter and a nice solid feeling when shifting through the gears.

I took off the front bumper to look for a boost leak and well once I start the trans swap. I found that the car is still leaking coolant from tthe turbo so I will be taking the turbo off to see what's going on
