Why do you need everyone else to make the decision for you? What do YOU want?


Heck, first mod *should* be a CAI and tune...

Well.. I don't want anyone make the decision for me I just need opinions.

Plus, I'm not getting a CAI 'cause I'm planning on a turbo kit soon.

Thanks.

Then why change the exhaust? You know that the sound will change after the turbo install right? Not to mention depending on the X pipe you get you might have fittament issues (depending on the turbo kit you select).

Get a short throw and some wheels and then wait till you get the turbo till you change anything else....

The Borla H pipe setup on TacoBill's sounds the best in my opinion. If you can deal with the drone Id say you go with that. However as mentioned above the turbo will change the sound.

I hear that turbos muffles the sound a bit, right?

Wish I could say...Ive only heard one passing by. I mean the turbo whine/vac sound definatly takes away from that low gutteral tone. But some love that...so, well basically its hard to say. Best peice of advice is to find a Mustang club and go to a meet. Hearing these things in person is really an eye opener.

I am a O/R H Pipe fan they are deeper soundingcompared to the O/R X Pipe's raspiness.
