Just a little update.

This is a pitcure I took while i was drilling out the non-foulers. The Left is the finished product, as it sits on the car now. I had already started drilling the right one when i took the picture, so for reference it was half as large in diameter before i started drilling. I drilled all 4 non-foulers to look like the left, and then stacked 2 together.

This is just so people have an idea of how much needs to be drilled if they do this. I didnt have a large enough bit so i ended up milling the bit around to achieve the current diameter of the non-foulers.




I also got a set of Roush A/Bs for christmas, had those suckers on first thing christmas morning. Its loud, but i love it. Pops like a ****.

Also I got the windows tinted 15% all around, and i blacked out the 5.0 badge. I like it.

Couple little things.

I prepped my front corners and my rear markers, and had my buddy spray them for me. They look great, i just dont have any good pictures of the car as of now.

^It looks 100% factory.

Heres a quick 4th gear tunnel pull with the Cat-Deletes/No resonators/Roush's. My phone was in my cup holder for the video and only my driver window was cracked. Its loud.



Sportlines will be here Monday, cant wait to gt this thing low.

Quick shot of the car on the sportlines.

Pulled on to my buddies grass to try and get a good shot hpoing the grass would make it look lower in the picture. But dead grass doesnt sit to high though...

I ended up taking the cat deletes off. It was really loud, and clients had a hard time hearing me through my Bluetooth. I liked the sound but I've been driving this car alot lately compared to the old car, and I enjoy driving it to much to let it sit, so the deletes are off, it's a compromise I guess.

Decided on going with a 10" square setup in charcoal, possibly the new 2013 Shelby gt500s, but im not 100% on them yet.

I was thinking about the 555r's in a 285/40/18. The AM knock offs are a 45mm offset, so if I'm thinking right everything should fit fine.

If anybody has any suggestions/comments let me know.

How about getting high flow cats?? Also i think 19's would be better looking with the sportlines.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I was refering to suggestions in regards to tire size/set up. And I wont be adding high flow cats because Im going to order a set of Long tubes and fab up a catless mid pipe, possibly with a dual entry/exit style muffler after the H to quite it down a bit. I was looking into 19's, but there is just not as much of a tire selection available in comparison to 18s.

Thank you though man.

Yes, I like them. Still havent decided between those, or AMRs in charcoal.
