a few questions...

[sLOWSVT]

Looking at getting a few things for my 98...

How is the quality of MAC? Does their price reflect it? Theyre a lot cheaper than others like BBK.

What are good pullies? I remeber hearing something about a 1 or 2 piece crank (IIRC) pulley (that the 2 piece was bad?).

Well, I was thinking about getting...

BBK OR/X
BBK CAI
MIL Elims
BBK Pullies and
FMS 4.30's...

I plan to dyno the car as it sits, then again (with a group dyno day) after the mods are completed...

I was going to go with Black Bullits in 18x9, but theres too many Camaros out here, that think theyre tough (my father included ).

Sound good?

Anything anyone can add will be appreciated...

Ron...(Havent been around much as of late, but with spring comming, that should change. )

MAC=CRAP stay away from it especially the headers, they are known to destroy DOHC engines

BBK O/R X, good choice if you want a cheaper x-pipe, Magnaflow or Bassani are better though

BBK CAI=CRAP, go with a UPR powerpipe, a densecharger, or a WMS velocity tube

MILelims you'll need to get rid of your CEL, make your own or buy some off ebay

BBK pulleys, I have them but I wish I would have went with Steeda or ASP since they aren't piggy back crank pulleys like BBK are

FMS 4.30's excellent choice

I agree with Missouri Guy....

Stay away from Mac.
BBK makes good mid pipes (why X, go with an o/r H pipe )
Go with a WMS CAI...looks good and ACTUALLY works.
Go with Steeda pulleys...the only option in my opinion.
4.30's....perfect choice. I've been told that 4.30's are known to whine a little...it all depends on if they are made right. I have no whine at all (at least that I can hear over the exhaust).

Thanks guys, thats ecactly what I was looking for, Im taking everything into consideration...

Jim, you have been a big help since my first post here. I dont suppose you have any pics on the 03's? I was considering them a while ago, but Ive decided on the black bullits since.

Stay away from Mac.

I love my MAC prochamber. I picked up 17 RWHP with it, and the sound is just amazing.

MAC=crap when I bought my cobra it had a mac h-pipe and mac cat back it was loud backfired all the time and was all rusty looking. I switched out with a BBK o/r x-pipe and flowmaster 3 chamber cat-back I felt a diff in power. I dont like the BBK sound it sounds like BB's are rattling around in the x somewhere I here a lot of people in the review section say the same thing. I bought a SLP x-pipe its on back order I want that because I have emmissions now and just like the Bassani you can swap out the cats with strait pipe with just some bolts. As far as the h-pipe x-pipe diff muscle mustang has dyno proven that x-pipes make more power and personally I think they sound better everyone I know with an h-pipe had the same problem I had with the car backfiring (under free revs).

My two cents hope you enjoyed.

I bought a K&N FIPK and a C&L tru-flow intake(made of alum). I like them.

 

[sLOWSVT]

How high do you have to rev it for it to pop tho? My buddy has a 96 4.6 DOHC in an 89GT and it pops when you 'free rev' it to about 6500...

He has a no name OR/H and 2 chamber flows.

I think Im going to go with the OR/H, as I love the sound of his exhaust.

The CAI is still up in the air though.

 

[sLOWSVT]

Once I get back from Vacation the orders will start rolling....

New list...
WMS Intake/Maf
BBK OR/H - MIL's
Steeda Pullies

Gears will wait, as the intake is a lot more than expeted, and Ill still have to pay for the install, but will definatly happen ASAP.


The more I looked at the DenseCharger, the more it looked like something that was made at Home Depot, so Im going to pass...

like 3 grand is all it takes for the backfiring fun to begin with an h-pipe
