Going to Pauls High Performance in Jackson, Mi for some much anticipated upgrades. Heard a lot of good things about this shop. I'll keep my fingers crossed. JLT cai, 2.80 sc with 90mm idler, dyno tune, Steeda cat back, MGW shifter. They keep trying to get me a Bassani catted x. Is it worth $600 installed. Performance and noise level? Hoping for 450+ hp. They wont commit to a number. What do you guys think? Ill post pics soon. I really enjoy this site. Lots of useful help.

I've been to Paul's place a few times. They're a nice group of guys, with a good reputation. I know a guy that's part of our club that's taking his 04 Cobra there for work on his blower IIRC.

Any results yet?? I'd say $600 installed is a good $$$ ....I paid like $515 to my door & installed myself! ...450 rwhp very realistic!!

...I put down 465 rwhp, mods in sig...

Its cheaper because its the aluminum x. Shouldn't make a difference for my use. Mine is torch red also. I love the look the springs give it. Too bad over here in MI. are roads are so crappy it would eat the car alive lowered. Gotta get all this stuff done cause there's a couple car shows coming up soon.

...Got ya...Mine is SS...still not a bad $$$ if you can't do the work yourself!

Tried to do a little research b/t aluminum and ss x pipe. No real definite answers. Do you think aluminum is a bad choice? I don,t wanna sacrifice quality or performance but still have a budget. Is yours loud as hell all the time? My wife will go nuts if she cant hear herself talk. lol

Not too load at all with the Hi-flo Cats!!! (Kit does come with the straight pipes)...

nice! sounds like we are doing a very similiar setup, both next week too. wanna make a friendly bet on who makes the most power? I am going with a 2.76 BF upper and 100mm idler. I already have a catted x installed too.

BTW, if you have an 04 which from your name it sounds like you do (then again my name is way off, lol), you will need O2 extensions in order to install the x pipe.

5spd-I am gonna have the shop install it. I don't have the time nor patience. lol. There telling my I can run a 90mm on a stock idler and bolt on the o.e. shroud that comes on them. Suppose to do the same thing as adding an auxiliary idler. I wanna keep that look if you know what I mean. I think Im gonna take you in power. Ha ha j/k
