Default What should I do.....

To the Mustang Bullitt I got about a week ago? Ive been saving money since mine got wrecked not spending really on anything except ocasinollay filling my moms gas tank. Ive got rougly 900 dollars, but im not sure how much im willing to spend. I ALWAYS wanted headers but my parents would probaly be pissed. Personaly I think it would be worth it. But other than that I really dont know what I should do....Im not big on gears cuase there isnt really anywere around here to install them.

with 900 bucks id go with gears and a tuner. after they gears are in and after buying the tuner you should be around $900. you would feel more of a difference also with those mods over headers. BTW if you go with gears go with 4.10s.

well, if you decide not to go with gears because of no place around there to install..

my recommendation is 95% of the time to do exhaust.

With 900 dollars, you have plenty of room for a midpipe and a catback (and if youre able to go o/r) due to lack of testing, then that leaves even more money to play with later (or save)

or, if youre brave:

think about a nitrous system.
ive been told that a nice 100 shot & tune can be had for right around 900... maybe if youre willing to save for a tad longer that is a possibility

good luck

I'd find someone, somewhere to do gears for you. What's the ratio that's in there now?

Well I can drive it now, we got it licensend and tagged today. This car is a blast to drive, it holds the road so well. I think im ganna do headers within the next week.



Were is the CHEapest place to get the headers, catless midpipe, and o2 elim? I may do upper/lower control arms to.

I'll guess you can tell that I own one and from experiance I would leave the exhaust alone, the Factory Bullitt set up is pretty good and does have that unique sound. The best mods for it are gears, a 90mm cold air intake and a chip. These wake the car up a good amount. Also the suspension on it is very good, the only change I'd do there is adjustable rear uppers to get the negative pinion angle. Just my 2 cents, good luck.
