One day I will get that damn one piece driveshaft. Maybe after the tax returns. This is the holiday season and I have to think of my family and others.
how about modding the stang then give your family a ride in it, that way its a win/win.

One add on question for the guys from California... what impact, if any, will adding aC&L CAI witha custom tune from Brenspeedhave on my ability to pass CA Smog/Emmissions test? Still pass, need to reset the stock tune before test, etc?

flogduh I live in california and I got the SCT Xcal2, and on the back of the box in a bright orange sticker it says "Not legal for sale on pollution controlled vehicles or in the state of California" So if I were I'd just load the stock tune back on and switch to the stock intake just to be on the safe side.

I live in Reno, NV. There smog standards here are pretty much as strict as California's.

My car passed smog with flying colors andI didn't change a thing. I have a Bassani catted x-pipe (high flow cats), Bassani axle back, Steeda CAI and elbow with Steeda's Predator tune for 91 octane. It didn't even come to mind that I may fail smog until it was already happening. I asked the guy (that did the smog) if he thinks it'll pass, and he said most new cars, as long as they have CATS should have no problem passing smog.

Edit:

BTW, I noticed no gains for the exhaust, except for the sound. But, the Steeda CAI and tune is phucking BADASS
