Stereo can be good just dont rice it out with tv's and stuff. Everyone likes to cruise to some good quality sound. Gears...either 4.10's or 3.73's. I got 4.10's and they are awesome. Would never go with 3.73's except for forced induction. I would definitely do longtube headers with your exhaust. H pipes are more monotone and more of a hum with a stock cams and doesnt have much character. And they sound deeper. X pipes are more racecar sounding and they have more character in my opinion. They are also louder. And you'll probably want cats for emissions. And then catback really all depends on how loud you wanna go and what type of noise you wanna make. Hope this rant helps

I think that you might be able to get started on mods with a catted h pipe and catback. I think mustangmancp has one for sale due to recent upgrade to longtubes and they sound good. I think you would be very happy with an exhaust setup like he had originally which was flowmaster american thunder catback and the MRT catted h pipe...which is the best on the market i think. So that will get you making noise and not be too loud but have that classic mustang sound.

i am thinkin the offroad h from mrt. it is the best. ive heard it from many people (and actually used to work there). it sounded like the sss exhaust might be good, but is that going to be a lot louder?

and thanks for the continued input.

The idle is a little louder than stock, but nothing huge.
