New Member 04 Mustang GT
New to the car modifying scene and new to mustang forums. I love cars in general, import, chevy, ford doesn't matter. I wish I could've "grown up in the backyard so to speak but I was pushed towards sports. My first car was a 98 GT that was given to me by my father right around 160K miles. Unfortunately, he did all the work in the car and I wasn't around to learn what goes on under the hood because of sports. Now that I bought a used 04 GT, I'm enjoying learning and modifying. Currently I'm deployed in Kuwait but I have a bunch of boxes waiting for me when I get back. As of right now I have a flow master cat back exhaust, 4.10 gears, new spark plugs and wires ( not sure if the previous owner did tune ups etc..) Raxiom headlights and tail lights with the sequential kit, K&N FIPK CAI( the previous owner installed a cai bit I'm not sure what company it is or if he/she put any thought into it) reverse glow gauges, JBL gt120 subwoofers, JBL amplifier, JBL 6×8 full range speakers with a JBL 4 Channel amplifier. All waiting in my buddies garage for me.
I'm thinking of digging deeper into my car with long tube headers with a shorty H pipe. One question..does a shorty H pipe reduce the sound compare to a full size aftermarket h pipe?
Secondly, I've been reading that people suggest doing a PI swap for more power. What all comes with a PI swap? Really, what is it exactly? Also, in terms of cams, I'm looking for that aggressive sound with good power throughout the whole range instead of just peak power? I've read suggestions of stave one as well as stage two..
Anyway more learning and researching to do so you'll see plenty of me bugging all of you with numerous questions haha .

Welcome, looks like you are going to have some fun when you get home nice list. I'm in the same boat sort of, my military deployments were a long time ago, now I'm out of the country for work and have boxes and boxes waiting for me when I return. I have long tube and a short x pipe with borla atak installed already.
Car is loud extremely loud and I love it. There is a ton of info here just search and you will find.
