Picked her up from SUTTON FORD HP...finally got 4:10's, K&N CAI, and SCT Tune...WOW! Saving up for a supercharger now, gonna take a while my only set back is I'm a blue collar worker. Great Staff! my son got to hang out with Jerry and even sit inside that beast of a MUSTANG. If I'm correct...had a missed opportunity to meet ZACK from the website for the first time. I'm assuming ZACK from Indiana, who works in the area or nearby. Hey guys let me know your opinions on what to do next!

Yea that's what I meant. As for the resonator's, it's just the stock tips. If you want louder, get non-resonated tips.

Invest in the Addco swaybars & Metco control arms they will help keep the MM in line.

Did you notice a big change in the ride after installing the bars and arms? Where did you order from and how were shipping costs? Probably going this route soon.

Yes, I have the Addco F/R bars, and PHP control arms and it's such an amazing step up from stock equipment. Body roll is no more.

The difference is

Wallowing (stock) down the road

to

Handling like it's on rails (aftermarket parts)!

I have a similar set up. SCT tune, JLT intake, FMS 4.10's. I also have a full set of Kooks/H-pipe/Dynomax, etc. Do your exhaust next, then retune.

How much dinero?:beatnik:

Got the bars from a group buy, got the 2nd to last set of control arms from PHP for only $210 (a steal.) Metco's and Zack's go for about $450.

Installation? It could be free, but I'm not really good with all that mechanical stuff.

I'd have to say the sway bars, control arms and watts link. I have the sway bars and Zack's control arms on mine and WOW what a difference it made. I'm sure once I get the watts link it will tighten things up some more.

While you save for a full exhaust system lose the 2nd set of cats. I shaved off a tenth or so off my 1/4 mile just be getting rid of them and little bit better exhaust tone. Only cost me $50 for getting the new piping and have a friend weld it all up for me after I cut them off, clamped on new piping to hold me over till they were welded.

Cut off the the one's that are closest to the rear end...(rear cats.)

Leave the one's that are slanted...(closest to the engine)

Go with performance, or stock cat are just fine? Would I be able to pass those emmisions test?

Stock cats are said to provide just about a 1/2 lbs of back pressure...So if you intend to stay with your stock exhaust manifolds...Stock cats would be fine IMHO...

As far as emmissions tests...Depends on what type of tests they do...

That question would be better answered by those who have gone that route...

We do not have such tests here in the islands...

Good luck, Brutha...
