This is the Ford Performance SVT Performance Cooling Fan for 2005 to 2014 GT and GT500
Mustangs.
This is a direct fit replacement upgrade cooling fan, and you could be checking this thing
out for a few different reasons.
If you're just looking to replacing your stock fan, this could be an option.
Or if you're looking for an upgraded fan to pair with other cooling system upgrades like
a radiator, this could be a good option for you, too.
Whether your car is stock or you have some modifications, upgrading your fan is gonna
help keep your temperatures down.
People upgrade their fans to help battle summer heat or keep things cool after they add some
mods to their Mustang and have more horsepower.
Since this is a direct fit replacement, the install for this fan is very easy.
It's a one out of three wrenches in the difficulty meter, and you can plan on spending two hours
getting this on the car.
This fan is more powerful than the factory GT fan is when you look at cooling ability.
This is the cooling fan that comes stock on 2013 Shelby GT500, which is made for higher
performance demands.
The SVT fan is about a one-half inch larger than the factory GT fan is.
It also has seven blades that are smaller in size than the six blades that are on the
factory GT fan.
This design allows the SVT fan to flow more air, both at high speeds and also at idle.
The SVT fan also has four slides that are on the bottom.
These open from air crush when you're driving at high speeds, which opens up more air flow.
The other difference is that the fan motor is thinner than the stock GT fan motor.
It doesn't stick out as far on the engine side.
This being a Ford Performance part that comes stuck on some models means that this has some
other plus sides, too.
First of all, you can guarantee the Ford Performance quality and fitment.
If Ford Performance tells you that this is a direct fit replacement, then it's a direct
fit replacement.
This is gonna be a direct bolt and upgrade for the GT and a replacement for the GT500,
even your wiring and your plugs.
It fits in the factory location without any issues or modifications.
Ford Performance and the product page said that these would not fit the V6 Mustang because
it's not a direct fit replacement for the V6.
Customers have mentioned that they've installed this on the V6, but you will need to make
some modifications mostly to the fan trout itself for it to fit in the front end of the
V6.
So for you guys out there that are thinking about it, I know it's been done in the past
but I'm still gonna stick with saying that this is only for the GT and the GT500.
When it comes to price, you can expect to pay just over $200 for this cooling fan.
This is a Ford Performance part that's originally equipped on the '13 GT500.
So if you compare it to other options on the site, you'll notice that this is a little
bit more expensive, but the other fan options are universal fit and they're not OE performance-based
options.
And overall, I wouldn't say that this is expensive.
This price point makes this fan a good option for someone just looking to replace a stock
fan or for someone building a car that needs more cooling ability from the cooling system.
The install is easy.
It's a one out of three wrenches in the difficulty meter since this is a direct fit replacement.
You can plan on spending an hour or two getting this on the car.
You will need some basic hand tools but nothing out of the ordinary to get the install done.
You'll start the install by pulling the cover that's on the red.
This is held in by plastic retainers that you can gently pry up on.
Disconnect the mass air flow sensor and unplug it.
You will need to remove the air filter and the intake assembly.
When it comes to the coolant reservoir, you can completely remove it or you can tilt it
back out of the way.
It's gonna be up to you.
If you wanna remove it, you'll need to disconnect the hoses running to it and unbolt it from
the car.
After that, you need to unbolt the factory fan.
There will be a few bolts that you need to back out, and you'll need to unclip the electrical
connection, too.
You're gonna remove the factory fan by pulling off on it until it clears the car.
You may need to shift it back and forth to get it free.
The new fan only uses two bolts.
You'll install this fan in the reverse order and button everything back up that you took
off the car.
After the install is complete, you're gonna wanna start the car and let it get to operating
temperature.
Check for any fluid leaks and make sure that the fan works properly, and that's all it's
gonna take.
That's gonna wrap things up for the Ford Performance SVT Performance Cooling Fan for the 2005 to
2014 GT and GT500.

2015-2017 Mustang EcoBoost Ford Performance by Borla Sport Axle-Back Exhaust Sound Clip & Install - Duration: 6:19.
This is a Ford Performance by Borla Sport Axle-Back Exhaust with chrome tips for the
2015 and newer S-550 EcoBoost Mustang.
This axle-back is gonna be a good option for you if you're looking for a high-quality axle-back
that gives you a throaty exhaust tone and you don't mind paying for quality.
The axle-back features straight-through sport mufflers, and this setup is gonna give you
a sound that isn't replicated by the other axle-backs for the EcoBoost that are out there
either.
As you guys already heard from the sound clips, the install for this is easy, it should take
about two hours to get this all done, and it's a two out of three wrenches on the difficulty
meter since there is some cutting involved, but we'll get more into that later.
The main component of an axle-back is gonna be the mufflers, and in this case, we're looking
at a set of straight-through sport mufflers.
So with an axle-back you're still gonna have your stock mid-pipe, and that's all gonna
lead down to the sport mufflers which are known for a loud and throaty exhaust note
which you guys heard earlier in the sound clips.
Keeping the stock mid-pipe does mean that you aren't gonna be opening up as much as
possible as far as exhaust flow, but the combination of the sport mufflers and even the stock resonator
mid-pipe creates a deeper than stock tone that isn't too loud and that also doesn't
have any drone at highway speeds.
Ford Performance describes the sound of this axle-back as loud, aggressive, and throaty,
and I can't say that I disagree with that description.
The sport mufflers give more of a raw sound when you compare to other options that focuses
more on a tuned sound.
And there is some popping on decel with this axle-back.
I wouldn't say that it's too raspy either, but it gives more of that turbo four-cylinder
sound.
One thing I did notice, however, is that this system is loud and you don't get as much turbo
noise here as I've heard with some other options that are out there.
You can hear some spooling in there, but that's it.
So if the turbo noise is something that you're really after, then there are some other options
on the site that really open a lot of that turbo noise.
This system does give more of what I consider a smoother sound when compared to other axle-backs,
but it isn't very deep.
Like I said, it has more of a loud and throaty note than a deep note or even a raspy note.
And you have to keep in mind that this is a four-cylinder turbo car.
It's not gonna sound like a V8.
So if you're looking for more of that clean, deep type of sound, there are some other options
that might be better than this one right here.
Overall, while this system is loud, I wouldn't say that it's the loudest out there.
It's gonna be on the louder side of the scale for the EcoBoost Mustang, and so I'm gonna
give it a three out of five on the loudness scale.
There are some louder systems out there if that's what you're looking for, but there
are some quieter ones as well.
It's really all gonna depend on what you're looking for, and luckily there are quite a
few options out there.
When it comes to materials and construction, this system right here has 4-inch chrome stainless
steel tips and the Ford Performance logo is embossed on the tips so you won't be losing
anything styling-wise.
And as usual, stainless steel is always a great option for the cars that see all different
types of road conditions since it's gonna offer the best corrosion resistance.
And unlike some of the other EcoBoost axle-back options out there, this system actually bumps
up the size.
You'd be going from a two and a quarter inch system to a two and a half inch system and
you're also looking at a full stainless steel manual-bent axle-back.
As far as price goes, you can expect to spend just under $800 for this axle-back.
This is on the more expensive side of things but you have to consider that Ford Performance
is a high-end offering with high quality.
So if that's something that you're concerned with, you're shopping in the right place.
That means that you do have a ton of other options out there if this axle-back really
doesn't suit you.
So make sure that you check out the site if you aren't sure.
You're gonna be looking at the typical cut and clamp design with the install for this
axle-back since you need to cut all S-550 axle-backs.
I'm gonna call this a two out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, but just because
of the cutting that's involved.
Nothing difficult but I just recommend some eye protection and a fresh blade to make the
cutting easier.
Overall, you're looking at about two hours to get this all done.
A lift would certainly make things easier for you here, but the job can be done on jack
stands as well if you don't have access to one.
Cutting the factory axle-back isn't hard, just be sure to measure twice and plant a
mark where you will be cutting so you don't make a mistake.
You can mark the axle-back with painter's tape if you want and then use a Sawzall to
cut the stock axle-back out.
It'll probably be easiest to leave the hangers on the axle-back and just unbolt them from
the car.
You can transfer them over to the new axle-back.
Your new axle-back will come with new clamps for you, so you don't have to worry about
that.
When you go to install your new setup, it'll probably be easiest to leave everything loose
until you have it all lined up and then tighten it down.
That's gonna wrap things up for the Ford Performance by Borla Sport Axle-Back Exhaust with chrome
tips for the 2015 and newer EcoBoost Mustang.

Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection | Ford How-To | Ford - Duration: 1:14.
[MUSIC]
Your Ford may have a unique feature designed to alert you if it senses
a potential collision in front of you with a vehicle or pedestrian.
As a matter of fact,
a new enhanced camera on the pre-collision assist with pedestrian
detection feature may help drivers avoid rear end collisions with other vehicles.
And avoid pedestrians crossing in front of them during day and nighttime driving.
The system uses radar and camera technology that scans the road ahead.
And if a collision risk with a vehicle or pedestrian is detected,
it'll provide several warnings to the driver.
A row of red warning lights will illuminate on your windshield.
A warning chime will sound and
a warning message will appear in your information display.
If you don't react and continue to get closer to the vehicle or
pedestrian after the alert, the system pre-charges the brakes.
And if you don't press the brake at all and an accident is imminent,
the system can automatically brake if needed.
Which may help reduce the severity or even eliminate certain frontal collisions.
Any questions, go to Owner.Ford.com.
