    WTF!? What kinda headers do I have?

    Ok, the guy I bought the car from said it had Mac headers when I bought it, but I've bought 2 different X-pipes this year and neither fit. I bought a BBK X first (before I knew there was a difference in headers, pls don't flame me lol) and then a Dr. Gas. Every body told me go with Dr. Gas...

    Exhaust shop prices?

    I'm getting Magnapacks put in place of my Flows so I went around and got some estimates today. I hate letting other people work on my car, but I'm in college and don't have a shop/welder.

    tire heights?

    Ok, I've been thinking about the difference in the overall tire diameter between a 315/35/17 and a 295/35/18. It won't happen anytime soon, but for the money I would pay for a set of quality tires for 18s, I could buy another wheel/tire combo from 5.0resto etc and sell my old set for 500-600...

    Ok, I have a pro 5.0 shifter in my car with the stock black handle. It's ok, but its farther forward than I would like. So I've been shopping around for new shifters and have narrowed it down to 3 or 4. Let me know if you have one of them/what you liked/what you didn't like etc. MUSTANG-UPR...
