It i’s no secret one of the first modifications nearly every Ford Mustang owner completes is exhaust work–be it a cat-back, axle-back, hi-flowing mid pipe, headers, or the sort.  Hey, Ford–not that you did a bad job with the factory tailpipe melodies produced, it’s just there are just SO many awesome combinations of acoustic awesomeness out there on the aftermarket, and people LOVE to have their Mustang stand out from the masses.

Fresh up this week from the folks at MRT is a fantastic new exhaust system for the 2011 Ford Mustang and the 2012 Ford Mustang.  The MRT Interceptor Axle Back Exhaust System was, like the rest so dubbed, designed in-house & produced in the USA, achieving a quality product that’s a total point of pride.  These Mustang exhaust systems feature 304 stainless tubing, are mandrel-bent for maximum flow, and are capped off with 304 stainless steel mufflers, ensuring this system will last for years to come.

OK, Ford Mustang fans…if you haven’t gone out and picked up Donald Farr‘s latest literary installment, you are seriously missing out.  Why?  Jay Leno says so–that’s why.  Farr’s book, Ford Mustang Boss 302: From Racing Legend to Modern Muscle Car is a completely epic compendium of everything Boss 302.  Donald covers the historical past, ties in the omnipresence, and ultimately ties it all back into contemporary times, with the return of the Boss 302 in the 2012 Mustang.

The StangNet team had the fortunate chance to get project Built to Cruise to Tulsa last summer, and more importantly, we got the chance to sit down and have dinner with Donald, right as he was honored by noteworthy Ford folks at the Shelby banquet one evening.

OK, we’re done rambling (for now)–be sure to keep going for the video of Farr and Leno’s spotlight interview right in Leno’s garage!
