Question GT500 Lowering Springs and Exhaust input Please!

I’m thinking of a few moods and wanted some input for other GT500 owners. First I want to lower the car but really don’t want to sacrifice the ride to much. I understand lowering will stiffen up the ride I just don’t want it to the point where my spin snaps when I hit bumps (like my 96 Cobra did with Steeda springs)!

Next is the exhaust. I have used and liked Flowmaster two chambers in the past but it looks like Flowmaster will not commit to their 17421 fitting a GT500.

Does anyone have recommendations?

WOW ... just called Flowmaster and they told me their exhaust actually robber the GT500’s performance and not to buy it! Got to love their honesty.

Now what guys? ... I love the Flowmaster gurgle!

I was checking out the Kooks website today … Man does their complete exhaust (Header-Tips) system sound MEAN! How loud is your setup?

Please don't put a cheap product like Flowmaster on a GT500. If I had that vehicle, I'd only be looking at SLP or Magnaflow.

I put the Borla stingers (actually the Ford Racing version, but it's exact same product) axle back on my GT500 and am very happy with them and they look great too

It's not as loud now as it was in this vid. This is with the Magnapack's, now it has chambered Magnaflow's.

rear springs

Hello, I am interested in the rear spring exchange for the factory 4x4 look. I can live with the front as it seems to be the right height, but the back has to come down. Can we do just the back and if so what seems to be the preferred spring set up.

Eibach will sell you the rears that will give an 1.7" drop. You'll have to have a Adj. Pan Hard though.

Me, too ... not too loud, but much more aggressive than stock.

Is JBA Cat Back a good option for a 2008 Shelby GT 500? I would like a loud (mean) exhaust system!
