    I would inspect the line and Caliper to make sure the female and male parts of the connection are not cross threaded or stripped. ... and yes you should be using Copper Washers and do not reuse them, always replace them after they have been removed. Sorry for the late response ... I'm never on this board anymore. Feel free to email me at jtbrazier @ gmail.com

    Good Luck,

    JT

    Greetings,

    May I ask you what year Shelby you installed the H-Pipe on? Also how did you find out about the upgraded cats? I have been looking all over the web for info on this but cannot find a thing. Can you share what they did with the cats to make them better? Also what did you run for exhaust pipes and mufflers after the H-Pipe?

    Thank you

    Sticky and Predictable.
    Bear in mind, with the power level these cars are at (I'm at 688 RWHP) you can break ANY tire loose save a Drag Slick.

    I run a Nitto NT01 Tire on my 400HP Fox, which is another great tire, but unlike the Sport Cup2 it is a complete ZERO in the rain if you ever get caught in it.
    The only reason Sport Cup 2s are not on my Fox body as well, is because Michelin don't make the sizes required.

    Howdy.
    Still enjoying the Sport Cup 2 tires??
    I have a new to me 2013 SVT w/TP coming.

    It has been lowered 1.5" with the Ford spring kit.
    GY tires will be coming off immediately.

    Trying to decide on best tire type and size.
    Sounds like our driving is similar but I'm gonna stay stock on wheels (19" x 9.5" front and 20" x 9.5" rear)

    Thoughts on best fit and tire type for sunny day harassing the locals???

    Sport Cup 2 is the best street tire I have ever ran and provides a quality, predictable, Track (Road Course) option too, if you don't get a set of Track wheels and dedicated Tires.

    They are worth every penny, and get 4 of them too, this mixing of different tire brands on the front and rear for the street is absurd.

    All the best and stay safe in these challenging times.

    Best,

    JT
