Forget camaro lol , I don't know of many cars that wouldn't smoke a 2.3l stang. I got owned by a old Berreta that had a damn spare doughnut wheel on the front lol. As far as the dual exhaust , I had duals put on my 2.3 but only because my exhaust was shot and I figured i'de pay extra and have the duals put on so it would cost less when I got the v8 in . All they had to do was cut the "Y" off and put straight pipes to the headers. As far as the way it souded , it sounded like ***. It barely grunted even with no cat at all and decent turbo mufflers. It didn't do anything to help performance that i could notice. All it did was make every p.o.s. ricer pull up next to me and blow me away . I think i am scarred from it actually. I wouldn't put any badge on that thing until I could back it up , if you live in a small town like me everyone would talk crap about the slow *** "5.0" that you own. And if they find out it isnt a 5.0 thats even worse. Think of it like putting a "R" sticker on a Geo metro with dual exhaust .I guess people can put whatever they want on their car though. Put a 5.0 in there

 

HAHA those are some very creative comments haha

 

LOL thank you . I wasn't being mean I was just telling the truth about what will happen from my own experience. After I had those duals put on people would mess with me all day and it was getting very old. I can't imagine how embarrassing it would be to have 5.0 sticker on it to. Where I live there is no more "Chevy vs. Ford " war , its all "Ricers vs Rednecks" lol. Most kids my age hate mustangs worse than almost any other car , so they would have a hayday making fun of a slow *** 2.3 with duals and a 5.0 badge. Alot of the cars here are gay rice , but there are many WRX's , built TT 300z's , and a couple of very mean Supras. Check out www.streetcarforums.com and look at Knoxville, TN board. There are some nice cars . Anyway what i am trying to say is don't try to make that mustang into anything but a daily driver unless you want to be scarred for life by visions of a Civic flying by with its hazard lights on honking at you. And if someone pulls up next to you just look straight forward and let them peel out and going flying , atleast they won't be able to say you raced them LOL . A 2.3 stang with duals and a 5.0 badge falls into neither the ricer or musclecar catagory. It falls into the wtf catagory. I would atleast take the badge off. The duals are just prefference since they don't hurt or help enough to argue either way. But 95% of built 2.3 cars I've ever seen just use a larger single exhaust system.

 

Challenging ricers in a slow car is fun. My personal favorites to do this national past time are: My sister's 91 geo prizm, and My mom's 91 plymouth acclaim (purple).

Just roll up next to them, rev your weedeater motor, then when the light changes, turn right as they fly away.

 

I love just watching ricers and messing with them too . I never really try to race them th9ough since I am scared of something happening. My friend raced a guy in West Knoxville and when the guy started to fall back he swerved over in my friends lane and ran him off the road , no **** . These kids a nuts . Ckeck this out LOL .This is a true story , a friend and I once pulled up next to an older CRX at a redlight in downtown. It was like 1:00 am or so after we went bowling . But anyway I guess he was trying to impress everyone in the parking lot next to us since there were like 50 ricers setting out there, LOl anyway he starts revving his engine up like nuts and I kept thinking to myself God what an idiot , I hope he blows his engine..................................Lol. Guess what LoL , before the light even turned green I heard what sounded like gravel being chewed up under his hood lol , then the light turned red and we could barely force ourself to drive away we were laughing so hard and looking at the guy banging his head on the steering wheel. And all the people in the parking lot next to us were screaming and laughing . LoL when we finally drove off my friend hung out of the window and started yelling "FAST AND FURIOUS BABY ! FAST AND FURIOUS!" I will cherish this memory forever

 

Haha. That DOES sound like a lot of fun. Too bad i don't have my old Mazda 626 still...
