$1000 is kinda high, but it is not unheard of for a tuned exhaust system that comes with the warranty.

for a guy like you, who's chasing big power with top of the line systems, $1,000 isn't a bad investment. But for the OP who will never go with F/I it's a waste of money.

And throwing some business to a local shop owner is good for everyone.

Thats the kit I wanted for dual exhaust, price does seem high but it does come with the rear bumper which would cost 180+ and even more for shipping on its own.

See that is a huge difference, the rear fascia piece alone is worth buying the kit for the 2010. True factory replacement. That is something I didn't think of about the 2010, how easy would it be to DIY your own dual exhaust?

I get so sick of hearing this because it is not true.

Apples to Oranges
The price difference between a base 2010 V6 Premium vs a 2010 GT standard is 4k

Apples to Apples
The price difference between a base 2010 V6 Premium vs a 2010 GT premium is 8k

For 8k I could get the following:

Dual Exhaust - $600
Aluminum Driveshaft - $500
Supercharger - $4000
8.8 rear end with gears - $800
Springs/Shocks - $700
Rims/Tires - $1000

And still be under the price of a GT, but with better rims/tires, better driveshaft, better gears, and faster than the stock V8. So explain to me again why it would be better?

on paper, it may look good to get a "standard" GT over a "Premium" V6 (approx 2-3k diff for 05-09 models). Human nature doesn't allow this. mustang enthusiasts mod their cars and in the end, a GT is more money because you cant lie to yourself and say that you would keep your GT stock. on top of that, GT mods are pricier than V6 mods.

I was talking to my dad about modifying my car and he told me he did not want me to modify it because they dont want to put it on the insurance, I dont have to declare it do i? If I do will it increase my bills?
