I’ve put a lot of time and effort this afternoon and evening updating the Exhaust Guides with new video’s of various exhaust brands and setups. With each Exhaust Guide l’ve noted at the top of the page which particular brands have been updated. I recommend using either high quality headphones or computer speaker system to provide the most realistic impression of sound.

2013 Mule Spotted?

I was out driving last week and spotted a covered up Mustang mule on the freeway near Dearborn. I managed to snap some pictures on my iPhone.

Also as I was leaving the Woodward Dream Cruise on Saturday evening I spotted a covered up Mustang, this time in black and white camo’d stickers. It was thunderstorming hard and I didn’t have a chance to snap any pictures but the rear end shape looked very similar to the rear in these pictures as well.

From what I could see the rear diffusor is partly painted as well, much like the 3Dcarbon rear diffusor is. The rear axleback exhaust also appeared to be the same as off the Boss 302 and SVTPP wheels from the GT500. The hood also appeared to be higher, in line with reports MY13 will get GT500 styling cues.

ROUSH® Performance “Redefines Detroit Muscle” with the 2012 ROUSH Stage 3™ Mustang

Livonia, Mich.  (April 14th, 2011) – DETROIT MUSCLE | REDEFINED is the vision that sets the direction for the design team at ROUSH® Performance this year.

The ROUSH brand has long been synonymous with high horsepower, performance handling and an aggressive body style.  And, for the 2012 Mustang model year, ROUSH is introducing some game-changing enhancements that will “Redefine” their heritage of high performance and stylish appearance.

ROUSH Performance proudly introduces the new 2012 ROUSH Stage 3™ performance Mustang.  The 5.0L 4-valve DOHC TiVCT power-plant has received clearance for takeoff with the addition of the R2300 ROUSHcharger, force-feeding up to 10psi of inter-cooled energy to the already robust Coyote engine.  The ROUSHcharger® supercharger induction system increases the base horsepower from 412HP to an impressive 540HP and 465 ft/lbs of torque.  To enjoy the ride, ROUSH Stage 3 (RS3) vehicle owners enjoy peace of mind with ROUSH’s 3 year/36,000 mile power train warranty.

The 2012 RS3 takes to the streets with an all new graphics and appearance package.  ROUSH Performance is now offering a wide palette of color options for the RS3’s appearance and curb appeal. This allows for personal customization of three different aesthetic elements of the car with 8 choices for the base vehicle color, 6 stripe colors, and 6 stripe accent colors.  Together, these options offer an impressive 288 unique color combinations.

“In addition to the powerful ROUSH power train and tuned suspension, we’re really excited about the new graphics and design options,” says Gary Jurick, VP/GM of ROUSH Performance.  “The ‘Redefined’ graphics introduce new metallic colors utilizing automotive paint-grade materials.  The result is a breathtakingly deep tone to the RS3’s graphics.  We’re now providing our ROUSH consumers a very broad spectrum of graphics and color combinations to consider for their 2012 RS3 Mustang.”

To view and interact with the new RS3 paint colors, graphic striping and accent combinations, painted calipers and wheel options visit the all new ROUSH Vehicle Configurator at: http://www.roushperformance.com/2012-stage3-mustang-configurator.shtml
