It activates at a lower temperature (160°F vs. OEM 180°F), enabling earlier coolant flow to maintain cooler engine temps, reduce overheating risk, and extend engine life. Designed for easy installation and backed by a lifetime warranty, it’s the ultimate performance upgrade for Mustang enthusiasts seeking reliable, track-ready cooling. ## Description Hot days at the drag strip or road course will wreak havoc on the cooling system of your Mustang. An unreliable and inefficient setup can lead to overheating and potential engine damage. Mishimoto's all-new racing thermostat is specifically engineered for your 2005-2010 Ford Mustang. Mishimoto racing thermostats promote greater cooling efficiency by significantly decreasing high engine temperatures. Once the engine is fully warmed up, the Mishimoto low-temperature racing thermostat will open at a lower temperature (160 degree Fahrenheit) compared to standard thermostats (180 degree Fahrenheit). This allows coolant to flow through the engine sooner, thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures. This thermostat includes the Mishimoto lifetime warranty. Review: Works for 05-09 mustang gt - Noticed a slight drop in engine temps. Super easy to install on an 05-09 mustang gt. Relatively inexpensive for some piece of mind. Fits right in however cant remember if it came with a nee gasket or not, just reused the old on i think? Works great tho and havent had any problems in the 6+ months of having it.

I live in California. Smog laws are tight here.** A: Our thermostats do not have specific CARB EO numbers for smog approval, but should not affect your inspection. Most items that affect that vehicle certification will be related to intake, exhaust and emissions systems, such as aftermarket cold air intakes, intercoolers and piping, and downpipes. As thermostats only adjust the activation temperature on the cooling system, this should have no bearing on the emissions generated by the vehicle. The items we have CARB approval on will be noted with the EO number in their descriptions on the product pages on Mishimoto.com. If you have any other questions, please send an email to support@mishimoto.com and we would be happy to assist further. Thanks, Mishimoto **Q: Will this fit on a 2010 crown Victoria police interceptor?** A: Thanks for reaching out to us. This thermostat is a direct fit for the 3.0L Duratec 30 V6, 4.6L Modular V8, 5.4L Triton V8, and 6.8L Triton V10. If your vehicle matches this description, this thermostat would work for you. Please send an email to support@mishimoto.com and we would be happy to assist further. Thanks, Mishimoto **Q: Hi, i have a 2002 ford excursion with a 7.3 diesel. will this thermostat fit? what do you recommend for hot weather and heavy towing?** A: This thermostat will not fit a diesel Excursion as it is designed to fit the Ford modular gasoline engines. For a 7.3L Excursion, we recommend looking into the parts we list for the 1999-2003 Powerstroke trucks as most of these items will transfer over. For towing and hotter climates, we recommend the low-temperature thermostats part/model number MMTS-F2D-96L. If you have any other questions or are interested in any other cooling products for your Excursion, please send an email to support@mishimoto.com and we would be happy to assist further.
