-Intake and tune: $550-650. www.brenspeed.com or bamachips.com

-Full exhaust: There are many out there and the price range is huge.

Kooks and ARH LT headers are the best out there but they cost around $1300-1400 with the midpipe.
OBX headers are $500 I believe on ebay.

Axlebacks, Boomtubes for $299, to Corsa's for around $700. Many choices out there!

i just got a bama package for my 08 GT... C&L intake - SCT Xcalibrator 3 (+3 custom tunes) for like $689 from bamachips.com

i just put magnaflow (16674)aggressive 3" catback system (4" tips) - from the H-pipe back for $508 shipped from WP Exhaust companythrough e-bay (e-mail mike at wpexhaust@gmail.com) (xpipe would run you about 180$ or so and shorty headers from MAC would run you $399)

so total approx:$1200 (h-back exhaust andc&L intakeandSCT tune)depending on which way you go.. but there are cheaper options with the tuner & intake - even from bama...(JLT & diablosport predator) or even a smaller exhaust catback - their 15883 system (2.5")

that's my 2 cents worth.. good luck!

Car comes rated at 300bhp (@ the engine). if you do the longtubes with o/r midpipe and the CAI/tune combo you should have a pretty descent Stang.

The sponsers here give good deals but you have to really do research. Have a plan and know what kinda setup you want unless you enjoy wasting money on parts you don't like or don't need.

Do you want a dragstrip car...roadracing...or just cruising? Figure this out before you start or you WILL waste money on parts.

number one rule.. never believe what anyone tells ya, and only half of what you see with your own eyes..

if you believe the info from the people trying to sell you their product - intake -25-30hpgain - tune 17-30hp gain - exhaust 15-20hp gain... so an add of anywhere between 57-80hp

most stock 08 GTs that i've been able to find information about shows about 260-280 hp base on the dyno.. but yeah.. Ford says 300hp / 320ft-lbs torque.. HMMMMM

lol yea, well, i think i would prefer something like roadracing....it's going to be my every day car for awhile, at least until i get out of the military. where would you recommend starting? also, i love the way these look, but they seem a little pricey...does anyone know of another brand to order these from and how difficult are they to install?

also, how do i put a picture of my car on here? lol i love my car and want to show it off ;-)

Start with the CAI/Tune combo(from a reputable dealer-Brenspeed,Bama,VMP) and maybe some axlebacks

the link didn't show anything for me.

and as far as the image goes... upload it to a free fileserver like www.photobucket.com or www.mediafire.com

and then get the image direct link and put it here using the [img] [/img] codes..

[img] filename goes here http://filename.jpg [/img] <-lower case img and without spaces

like this: http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...otor666rb2.jpg
