Default FIRST MODS!!!

I bought my 05 GT about a month ago. I have since put about 1000 miles on it completely stock. It now has 5200 miles. I just ordered a pypes O/R H pipe and pypes mid muffler from Brenspeed. I will probably get a C&L CAI and tuner in a week or so. Cant wait to see what these do!!

Congratulations on your "new" '05. Enjoy it!

I bought my '05 (4500 miles) this past summer, put a new hood, wheels and tires on it right away. Now it is asleep in my garage 'til April or May.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to have a tune written for the Offroad pipe, as it gets rid of your cats, thus changing the position of your O2 sensors or getting rid of them all-together. Again, I could be wrong, but I think I remember Nuke telling me that a while back when I was thinking about doing some exhaust work.

Congrats on the purchase. I have an 06 gt with an o/r h, stingers, jlt and brenspeed 92 tune. Are you going to install your o/r h? I installed mine, fitment wasn't good on the pypes. The cai and tune will give you much better shifts if you're an auto.

Yea I will be installing it hopefully on tuesday when they come in. I hope it doesnt get delayed due to this winter storm. I live in northern tennessee near the border and they are calling for 8-12 inches of snow. That is epic for TN. And will i still be able to tell a difference in the tune with a 5 speed. And i also notice everyone usually runs 93, 92, 91 octane tune. All we have in our town is 87,89,93. Any input on those questions would be greatly appreciated.
