Just a couple questions for yall. Just upgraded from an 03 gt to an 06 gt, and am getting ready to begin the upgrade process. First two things i will do are intake and exhaust, which brings me to my two questions...

I'm torn between two exhaust systems, and i just want some people's opinions before i spend the money... Either a full bassani setup with longtubes, an o/r x-pipe, and obviously a catback, or kooks longtubes with a kooks o/r x-pipe and some undecided catback.

The next decision is the intake... I'm thinking jlt cai. i really like the shaker hood setup, but im not sure if its $800 worth of awesomeness. anyone with a shaker setup wanna give some insight? i will spend the money if it is worth it, but if the only benefit is purely aesthetic, then im just going with the cai and save my money for the super shaker.

Thanks!!!!

congrats on the 06. either exhaust is very good. i say get the JLT and save for the super shaker. thats the saleen one, right?

yea, twin screw with the shaker intake on top... AMAZING!!!! thanks for the input

well if your getting a saleen twin screw dont bother getting the jlt cai, there are a lot better ones out for the saleen application.

a shaker scoop is an appearance mod. if you want it to actually add something, get the SuperShaker. as for exhaust, get Kooks.

Diabolical!

Even though the shaker is functional, it doesn't actually add any HP. If you're saving for the supershaker anyway, then take that CAI money and add it to the supershaker fund.

just a side note, the shaker hood can be used with a regular saleen s/c.

On the CAI +1 dont buy a JLT. If you know you want the saleen get the Steeda CAI as you can reuse it with the saleen.

On the exhaust front I would get the ARH's with an H pipe but that is just me. And from alot I have read you can get either 1 3/4 or 1 5/8 headers.

I dont want to qoute the wrong people but I believe it is JDM who says if you dont plan on going over 550-600rwhp you are better to stay with the 1 5/8's. No gain in using the 3/4's but some swear it is better for S/C's. Just something to look into.

of those choices I'd say go with kooks exhaust.

the shaker is pretty much an aesthetic mod. If you want the cai+tune now then go for it, but you won't be able to use it with the saleen shaker

I would go with the Bassani if $ is not an issue.
I get alot of compliments from Ford guys.
