Let me know when you get ready to order your wheels. I'll make sure you get taken care of.

Car is looking good so far.

My 2011 was the same color, normally I do a color change with every purchase, and I did, i went silver at first, but took it back and swapped it.

Thanks.

I may have a lead on some used Roush Axle backs for a low price... may scoop them up. Have a pypes X-pipe in the trunk. Will have to custom fit piping from the X-pipe past the resonators which will be deleted.

No one makes just the mid-pipe for the 2011-13 system that have the flanges on the end. They all seem to use the 2010 version cat back system.

The only other question... CAI or no CAI. From what I have been reading the factory system isn't half bad, so why screw with it. Right? I know back in the Fox Body days CAi was a must have, but it seems now, a cat back and a tune gets you so nice power output.
