I'm actually running them with stock manifolds and stock midpipe w/cats. O/R H pipe was my next mod, but after putting them in I am reconsidering. At this point I think the loudest I want to go is high flow cats.

808muscle, that thing sounds nasty! I love it! Those flowmasters really topped it off.
I am starting to feel like I am posting vids/pics too much, but for those of you who have not seen/heard mine, here it is. Hot Rod's(idle set at 750), and SLP Loud Mouths axlebacks only. Personally, I am kind of tired of the raspy sound of the SLP's but I do get a lot of compliments. I really want a deeper tone so I am thinking about getting an o/r X (or H)and ditching the SLP's for Flowmasters.

Inside is perfect at idle, just enough rumble to know the cams are there. Cabin shake is also awesome.
Before I did cams I had no problem with drone, while now the flows definitely drone from 1500-2000 rpms. (Although probably not nearly as much as those tiny spintechs 808muscle had lol) I live with the drone because I feel like it is necessary for a nice deep idle.

Your car sounds great! Love that cam lope.
I didn't see LT headers on your list. These cams really come alive with long tubes Ford emphasises that themselves. I just did headers last week and what a difference it makes.
Besides we both know torch red GTs always sound best anyway....

Yeah you will need a tune. I did an email one from Chris Rose and it works great. No problems with driveability.
Got my tuner with an intake combo on American Muscle. I would have rather spent my money on gears over a CAI, but the combo deal made it worth it. A combination of the tune, intake and cams really woke up my automatic.
