Default mod weekend : )

Finally decided to do some mods to the stang this weekend..ordered some boomtubes, blacked out the rear and the front, did GT500 front splitter, rims finally came in from CA, painted the calipers. Overall a great weekend!

Make sure your driver's side boomtube back hanger it's against the bracket. ( wow that was confusing ) It's so annoying. It took me for ever to figure it out too. It crackles and squeeks. I just fixed mine today. Bent it a little and shaved the hanger a bit with a grinder. Didnt have time to bolt it up but it should be perfect
Boomtube sound? Priceless!

boomtube install was overall pretty easy took me and my dad about 30-45. Mins. I didnt really have a problem with the hanger and the bracket on the drivers side... Seems like the hardest this was to make sure they were even in the back and centered in the opening. Man do they sound incredible!! Im considering purchasing a h pipe or x.... Prolly go with pypes or a prochamber. Any thoughts??
