what did you do about the o2 sensors? does the check engine light stay on? that kind of worries me about changing this out. i hate to have someone ride in a new car and the check engine light was on. besides my girl would give me grief about it.
I have the hi flow cats so I just plugged my o2's right back in. No codes or lights.

I turn off the rear 02's through my tune, but I also gave a set of Steeda Mil Eliminators to a customer to test and he said they turned off his check engine light just like in the old 96-04 GT's.

i think you are the one i talked to on the phone. i just got the pipe on the car, very easy install, maybe an hour and a half. i was done before the prodigy cd was done playing. i drive the car about 8 miles and no lights are on. how long does it take if the lights are going to come on? the car was still warm after install. i cant believe the sound diff. i think i might go with high-flo cats. it does sound good, but i leave for work most mornings at 5. i dont think the neighbors will like it too much.

I have seen the light never come on and others come on at 40 miles. It is hard to tell.

Alright what is the advantage of an x-pipe? Why didn't Ford just have that standard on the Mustang. I've seen Nascars that have the h-pipe. what is the deal. I personally would love to hear the raspy sound.

Learning from ya'll all the time.

Suspsension is 100% stock except for Steeda lower trailing arms.

Hey Brenspeed, I'm getting ready to order one of your tuner packages, just out of curiousity, what kinda numbers did that x-pipe put down? Thanks for the help.

let me just jump in and say that Brenspeed is the BEST place I have ever ordered from in regards to answering questions, pricing and general good service.

I ordered my tuner and gears from there, and I'm looking to order my x pipe, axlebacks and intake from there shortly.

just my .02
