Mid pipe? Whats the difference of that and a X or H pipe.

How much would suspension run in the end.

K for an exhaust....definitely go w/ MAC longtubes and either a shorty X or shorty H...X is higher pitched and H is lower muscle car sound.

As far as suspension goes, I'm not the one to ask. Some of the big suspension guys on here are jazzer,teej,boduke,hoss302,HPwrestler and of course many others, but those are just a few of the big ones. From seeing that link, that car looks sick....but I'm sure it isn't the easiest car to drive around. Check out HPWrestlers car, his drop looks awesome, but keep in mind that a drop that low can cause some big problems in driveability....I currently have H&R SS springs and the drop is perfect.

mac longtubes have great fitment and are pretty decent quality for the price. they allow enough room for a manual tranny to come off without removing the headers (unlike BBK's for instance). headers have nothing to do with loudmouths, loudmouths are part of the catback.

if ya want lower than H&R SS's ya need coilovers ( springs but you can adjust the height and spring rate with easy).

for coil overs ( as well as springs) you need to Decide a few things

- What will the car be used for?
-Drag Racing, auto cross, DD'ing, texas mile or whatever else you do in it.

Of those Choices you will then need to decide just how extreme ya really want to go, i could give you a recipe for suspension that would make your car out handle any 60k car you can think of or nearly lift the front tire at the strip with mid 300's hp but are you willing to pay and maybe suffer in another catagory?

if you just want it low, and dont care how it gets there just cut your stock springs and get some shocks and CC plates, but if ya really want to maximize it let us know your overall goals if i havent missed them already.

Ya man look back around on page 3 I answered that a few hrs ago! But I just want this to be a show car, ofcourse I might get on it and street race every now and then but its just a recreational vehicle and I will prob never ever go over 400 rwhp or 350 if that. I want it to look like this one: https://mustangforums.com/forum/memb...f-my-00-a.html

What do you think I should do to get there, but keep the stability where my rear end wont go out every time I hit a bump or turn!
