Here's the e-mail I got back from Steeda...

Hi there,

In response to your recent inquiry related to (555-5715: 2005+ Mustang Steel Strut Tower Brace) on our website:

Does this Strut Tower Brace fit the V6 05 Mustang? If not, will you be producing one that does? Thanks.

Yes, this strut tower brace does fit the v6 mustang. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you for your interest, if you have any other questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

The Steeda.ca Team


Later

Sure you can reply back to them with this question. "Why does there website say GT only then?" They might just be trying to get a sale out of you or someone who does not know responded. I hate it when company's can't get there own info correct though.

Just wondering where you saw the reference that it's for the GT only? I've searched around and can't find anything stating this. The other style Strut Tower Braces from Steeda mention GT only (555-5716, 555-5725), but not P/N: 555-5715. Anyway I'll contact them again to verify I was talking to someone who had a clue. Oh, and I should mention I could only find reference to 555-5715 on the Steeda.ca site, not Steeda.com. Later.

Both of them say (GT Only)
555-5725 Billet Strut Tower Brace - (GT Only)
$319.95
http://steeda.com/store/-catalog/555-5725.htm

555-5716 Steel Strut Tower Brace - (GT Only)

http://steeda.com/store/-catalog/555-5715.htm


I could not find the 5715 on their site either, so maybe it's not available online yet?

I was actually figuring the problem was a clearance issue with the hood. I don't know about anyone else, but when I look at how high it has to go to clear the engine of my car, and how close the hood is when you start to close it, there doesn't look like there's much in the way of room to stick a bar across... Maybe the GT is the same way, I personally haven't looked under the hood of a GT yet so I can't say for sure. It didn't take Steeda Canada too long to reply to me with my original question so hopefully I'll get a quick response on questioning if my source was correct. In the meantime I wouldn't be suprised that the 555-5715 part is GT only; everywhere I've looked that mentions the steeda part number doesn't specify GT only, but V6MustangStuff has the same picture and states GT only. So I guess we'll see if it's a mistake on their part, or if I got a reply from someone who just looked at the part description, saw it didn't mention GT only, and hence assumed it works with the V6. Later.

Thats is correct it is a clearance issue. The Gt motor sits lower is my understanding and the intake doesn't stick up as high. Remember they designed the new intake for the 4.0 to make the car sound better overall and maybe had to lengthen them out. I don't have to worry about it anymore thogh I got rid of mine. Too many problems for me to deal with. Was in the shop almost 3 weeks last month and got it back and still had problems so by by mustang hello Impala SS - Supercharged 3.8 that runs mid 14's stock. It's a limited production 04 with 240 horses. What a nice car it is!
