i take that back its just a gt premium package, but it has 40th anniversary badging thats prolly why i said 40th anniversary edition package which i believe now that it is not. 2004 was the 40th anniversary.

Yeah thats a downside to having your exhaust come out right under the cab of the vehicle, for that reason some states require that exhasut run out no shorter than the rear axle... what kind of muffler does it have on it

as of right now i have no idea but from all the studying that ive been doing the previous owner had to put the car back to stock. but the only thing that he didnt get to put back to stock were the cam work. but the car sound quiet so im assuming that they are stock but they do have a little bark on them, i dont have the car in my driveway its at the storage tucked away from the elements to i havent had more time to study all the parts that are on it. i will keep every one updated. well i am going to ask the previous owner if i could post some pictures of the car back when it was on its glory days, its a 2 valve motor and the fastest it ran is 12.6 at 106 maybe 107, im still digging for more info about it

thats why i asked they didnt look like normal GT badgings from the angle shot. he was probably wanting it to look like as much of a sleeper as he could (hence dumped exhaust and doesn't have GT written all over it).

you can buy some tailpipes (either stock or aftermarket) and have an exhaust shop bend them a little bit and install it on your car. it will look just like a v6 dual exhaust if you wanna google up some images (instead of cutouts, the tips just hang below the bumper). this would save you from having to buy a new bumper unless your comfortable doing that.

steeda has a side exhaust that is a good bit cheaper than a Roush side exhaust system and IMO it looks much better than the Roush. It looks a lot like the side exhaust on the 2000 Cobra R and i do believe that it will fit without any side skirt modification, only down side is im sure itll scrape on stuff like crazy

i know im already scraping my bottoms the car sits pretty low, i know when i was taking it out the trailer the exhaust flange were getting caught in the lip of the trailer. and evven the cgs subframe connectors feels like they're scraping. i believe their cgs, but i dont know or never heard of that company, but that was the sticker that wass on the side of the connectors. i will look into those steeda sides, thanks

I'm in exactly the same spot. I think I'm just gonna carefully mod the bumper to accomodate the dual exhaust like it had before. There is a thread on how to do it well. I'm sure a quick search would find it if you're interested

@ 01gtturbo i am going to try to fabricate and try to just go side exhaust with slp loudmouth resonators shot gun style.

@5pointslow91 i know what youre saying about the fumes i was only driving the car for about 10 minutes and when i got home i passed out maybe because i was tired from the 4 hour trip picking up the car and unloading it, the gas fumes didnt help either by the way i am from oglesby, illinois its in la salle county. and name is jake
