Shop: Anywhere really. Cat back is a pretty easy install. It may be something you want to consider doing on your own, you know...just to get a little bit of one on one time with you and the car.

Kind: I'm a huge fan of Flowmaster 40 series. I just think it's an amazing sound. Actually I don't think I've heard one V8 Mustang with exhaust that I hated.

Performance for around the same price as catback: Gears or Cold Air Intake and a Short Throw.

Check out SSS if you want something that is unique, well priced, and sounds incredible too.

All catbacks will yield about the same performance, which is very little. Choose a catback based on what sounds good to you, go on youtube and listen to some clips to help you decide. Check out Americanmuscle.com for some ideas; that's where I ordered my SLP cb.

when you decide what exhaust you want look around on a bunch of sites, some charge almost 50 more for the same exhaust systems, and some sites have free shipping. Id recommend borla and bassani for exhaust parts but id probably look for used systems if you can find what you want to save a bunch of money.
