Default simple question

when i start moding things under the hood i want to keep everything by the same company if possable.. i want to do the least amount of mixing and matching as possable.

part 2

i have the slp loud mouth 2 cat back system...and will get the slp x pipe as well...however is it ok to say get jba mid or short headers to use with this exhaust setup so i dont have to get the slp long tubes?

Mids probably won't work with the SLP, but the shorties or longs will.

So what's the reasoning behind using the same company? I can understand with a full exhaust setup but why under the hood?

i see you want to use JBA as part of your exhaust.. they seem pretty expensive on headers....have you looked at BBK? they have good quality parts IMO. you can get a few things from them. Also you could use Ford Racing Performance parts lol they make alot of things like heads,intake,headers, etc.

if he's trying to stick to slp, lol he won't get past exhaust. they don't really make anything else for mustangs.

grimwolf, why don't you tell us what you'd like to do to your car, and how much power you'd like to make? by doing this we can give you some ideas on a setup that will work for you.
