I have a single flowmaster american thunder exhaust, and its wonderful, Its loud when you first start the car up, then mellows out but keeps a deep growl, then once you give it gas it screams at you, and yells when you get on her.

I give the flow AT mufflers a 2 thumbs up, and wouldnt trade them for the world.

You would need an X pipe, and 2 mufflers for dual exhaust. I think the red all round would look nice, and you dont need the GT rear fascia, you could cut out a piece of the bumper for the tail pipe.


You could probably whip an RX8, but if I were you Id get a cold air intaake, with an Xcal2 tune, 3:73, and T-Lok LSD's. then you could probably run with a couple stock GT's and 5.0's, all for about 1 grand.
Have any V-6 S197s with these mods run a 13.7? That's what I've run completely stock and I think I can do better with more practice.......although I think running with a stock 5.0L is probably doable for a V-6 in stock form(a stock automatic 5.0L GT).

No.. with just those 3 mods, we'd be running like 14.2-14.6-ish. Right now, the fastest NA that we know of is 14.1.
Going FIcan takeus all the way down to 12s, however. One member is in the 11s.

GT takeoffs are just "axleback", meaning just the mufflers.

I'm really happy with my dark red strips from baltimorestretmods. Congrats on the stang, V6 or V8 you will love it. Both are solid performers.
