72 Mach One,
YOU RAT BASTARD! I would of killed to have a mustang (in any condition) in HS or College! I ran ratty old Fords (rotted out Fairlane/Galaxies that I purchased for $200. in school. I just bought that '04 last year at the age of 49. My wife and middle son had Mustangs before me! The car I desired however, is the '70 Mach I, I bought as a rotted out wreck. I've just about finished replacing all it's rotted panels. I sat in that same car at 16 and it blew my mind! I knew some day I would have one, let's see that dream took 35 years to materialize, and some day, I might even drive it! I've learned life teaches patience. Good luck in your pursuits friend!

just wait....bet you that in 5 years, the EPA will mandate that all cars will have to be inspected....they already use CA smog laws as federal law...

He is gonna put them on his GT....
If you don't have smog testing, who cares?
More importantly, if you can pay some guy 50 bucks for a 7 dollar inspection and get a tag anyway, who cares

Why don't you just put LTs on the bullitt?

Besides, where does it say that LTs are illegal anyway? You can get a car with LTs to pass a sniffer test, what difference does it make?

Takliking to the wife this morning about our Mustangs and what I have learned about the mods I have done to my GT, and what shortcomings we have with her Bullitt. We both agree that putting shorty headers, midpipe, and catback VASTLY improved the power of my GT. Most interesting, I put the shorties on first, and I noticed my car ROLLED in fifth when you let off the gas. Previously, it engine braked, it felt like the park brake dragged. adding the X and cat back improved it more!. In the morning, when we leave my car fast idles at 1000rpm, I go down our gravel farm road in 2nd gear and don't touch the gas for 1/2 mile. My car travels at 15mph, her Bullitt, same fast idle, same gears, 10 mph. My car makes more power even at fast idle. BTW, with the present exhaust mods, my car gets 3 mpg better than the Bullitt! So here is what we decided:
Take my shorties off, put them on Bullitt, buy MRT catted "H" install on Bullitt, install my cat-back on her car
Install SLP ceramic LT's on my car, keep SLP catted "X", install SLP Loud mouth 2's on my car
I can't F#%KING believe that I'm willing to go through the header agony 2 times again! Somebody take a .44MAG and blow my head off, please!

I doubt that they will get into that.
Besides, where does it say that LTs are illegal anyway? You can get a car with LTs to pass a sniffer test, what difference does it make?
