That could quite possibly be the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

Everyone here is right... it's the damn studs.. I have mac's X and I had to do the same thing.... it's easy.. just replace'em..

I have an offroad-X with my stock catback, and, IMO the car sounds badass. I wouldn't have it any other way. It raised the volume, but not to the point of being obnoxious. It's pretty tame, sounds stock at idle, but at WOT it's everything it should be. The note will change some. But, if you got...

Go with the Cobra gear, Bilstiens, those things are amazing. I have the bullit setup, and I'm not as happy with it as I would like to be. You pay more for the Bilsteins, but they are certainly worth it. Be sure to grab some lower control arms, as far as traction goes, those are a must. Get...

Man, it's no secret that there are power losses on a stock length intake. Just removing the silencer, or even removing the whole filter cover will result in a loss. You have to add length to the intake. That means you have to buy an intake and put your filter in the fenderwell. Go buy an intake...

Silver or Gold striping on black is about as boss as a car can get... I'd do it to my GT if I planned on keeping it through the Summer...

I am going to have to agree with Sleepy... I mean seriously, who gives a crap at this point? Who do you like more? It's quite clear that both are established names and are quality items. Get what ever floats your damn boat, or whichever you can get for cheaper.

Well, if that suspension is good, take the tokico shocks and struts... take the seats while you are at it, those things rock... Oh, and don't forget the brakes...

I would agree.. it'd be kind of half-assed to get LT's and the mandatory midpipe and then chump out on the cat-back. Plus, you're really going to maximize your gain by completing the set.

Just do the math. Take peak torque x RPMS / 5252... On both of your runs your torque is just too high.

Oh yea.. with some Lower Control Arms, a shifter, and some drag radials your mods should be fine for low 13's. At that point it's a matter of how much punishment you are willing to throw at your car. You just have to kill the 60 ft. I don't think low 13's are going to be possible without drag...

Well Neo, you are a little better off than me. Mine's in the process of being lemoned. I've eaten up 4 throw out bearings, had the steering bushings replaced, got a brand new transmission, and those are just the major problems. My diff is leaking, my windshield is destroyed thanks to a defective...

Well, it should be easy to stay under your budget. Get UPR's offroad X and install it yourself. You don't need a lift, I did mine with a floor jack and that was it, I didn't even use jackstands. The UPR pipe is only $140 and it'll do the same job as any other pipe. My mac was pretty cheap as...

Uh, gears do not affect where you will redline. They'll only change the speed at which you hit the redline.

A few HP would be most closely associated with 3hp at the wheels. Now, let's presume you are overly fortunate and make an entire 15hp at the wheels from your offroad X. 3 would be 20% of of 15. So, you would lose 20% of the gain from getting cats. But, most of us would make more like 8-10 at the...

Man, do the ladies laugh when they find out your pipe isn't all it's cracked up to be?

You know, Stngmn96, I would be thoroughly impressed if you could make as much power out of a catted X as you could an offroad X, but it's just not possible. There's something about the ceramic honeycomb that just slows that exhaust down, thus causing a power loss, I MUST be confused. That's just...

My vote would be the FR500's because you can choose your colors and they are bad to the bone. However, you can't go wrong with the cobra seats either. Anyone who says the cobra seats are in any way not awesome is mentally deficient.

Man you are still on stock tires? That's incredible, mine died after about 12k, and I heard that was pretty good for 'em. Hell, my cobra ate through it's Eagle F1's by 8000. I would not be concerned with your axle snapping, especially with the auto controlling it. You'll be just fine.

Thanks for the replies. You got equal length shorties and didn't pick up much of a gain? I'm not planning on getting them for my GT, but a friend of mine wants them on his 03 Mach. What kinds of gains did you people pick up with your LT's?
