You are a good shopper. How many miles and how much did you have to shell out?

BTW, Eibach Springs and shocks. (same supplier that Saleen used.)

I've been shopping since late July and came across this last week. Has 79k miles and i got it for $6800 out the door. Previous owner was a vietnam vet and kept everything stock and took very good care of the car.

And Mustang3GT07, that setup sounds amazingly nice, i wanna run a mac o/r h but can't decide on whether or not i want the flowmaster or mac catback, both have a different sound but both sound very good so i really can't go wrong whichever way i go.

Or my personal favorite Mac H with Flowmaster 40's. The drone is ridiculous but the sound, tone, pitch and volume is unmatched.


edit: Oh and congrats on the car. I tell everyone their first mod should be to get rid of those nasty (and corrosive) wheel weights on the outside rim of your wheel.

I personally like the sound of the mac a little more then flowmaster, but that is just me.

Yeah the MAC has a lot deeper tone to them. Anyone know of a good catted h that would pass smog? After googling California laws and non catted pipes some of the ticket prices can be outrageous and not even worth doing.

i believe MRT makes the only aftermarket catted H, but they are pricey

Thanks a lot for the comments guys. I'm gonna order a grill delete kit from americanmuscle as soon as there back in stock and wanted to know if i'll need any special tools to get any of the OEM bolts off. This is the first car i'll ever be working on and practically have no tools, my dad is the worst with tools as well so he doesn't have any either haha. I only have wrenches and of course screwdrivers etc. Would i need a ratchet to get the 4 bolts under the bumper or will a wrench work?

All these noob questions but i have to learn sometime.

The first tool for any car guy is a Digital Multimeter.
