Default NEED INFO

Yes,i bought it 2002 mustang gt will post picks later.
But it s really loud since it does not have mufflers.
Now,my first question is it legal? and should i get resonator or just buy some mufflers for it?
and how much to get the mufflers or resonator installed,is it a big jobs?

now you say what s the point of getting the noise reduced because everyone is trying to get louder.
The thing is when i hit 4000 rpm it get really loud and it also brings you un-wanted attention from police and so on .
What s the best thing to do??
I can t go anywhere without getting attention.

My other concern is
I really don t know if it s me but i just got the car and i m not use to the shifting and the right thing to do.
I m going to try to explain this but it s going to be hard so bare with me.

all the gears shift fine.2nd gear catch a little.
I think i have not find the point where the clutch and the gas meet so if i let go off the clutch to fast it s a really bad clunk sound
that happens it all gears.
so when i hit the gas a little harder and let go of the clutch then with the rpm higher it does not clunk.
and the same thing when i downshift where i really noticed it .

my friend say it when you jump the clutch but it s got to be some loose in there.
it almost feels like the exhaust is clunking too.
I don t know what to do and i know if i take it to tranny shop thy are going to charge me out the a...
so what s my best bet
i was thinking getting a clutch kit but don t know what to get to help the shifting
does the kit involve a short shifter too that might be a great idea,i think ?
and how to install a clutch kit run???
I m such a newbie but i really want my car to run great and i know they are people here with so much knowledge.
I m waiting on you for my decision and guidance into making the tranny shift smoother and pleasant driving experience

thank you in advance

I have had the same problem with 2 mustangs where it sounds like the transmission is bouncing back and forth sometimes. I was also told its normal and had it checked out a few times before. Ive also been in mustangs where it didnt do it so Im not really sure if its a problem or anything. Nothin ever broke so IDK??? Have it checked if you want but Id say if its only noticeable a little then I wouldnt worry about it. Also make sure you have cats on there if u want to be legal.

Is there no way to pass emissions with o/r pipes?
