Hell
Its nice and sunny.

The streets are dry.

My GT sways are in.

My dual exhaust is in.

Its 1:30, I dont have to be at work until 4:00.

There is a nice twisty, hilly road about 15 minutes from my house.

Time to evaluate the friuts of my labor.

See ya tomorrow.

LOL...it was 73 deg today, and supposed to be warmer tomorrow. I'm thinking about driving the 'stang with the TOP down tomorrow :)

Let's hear about the new exhaust!!!
 
Awesome.

I dont recall seeing any dyno results from just an exhaust swap. Currently that is my only performance mod, a full 05 GT catback. I think there is a 10-20 hp gain. Maybe not peak hp, but at some rpm ranges the car pulls much harder. Im not basing this on noise because the car really isnt any louder than when I had just the one GT takeoff muff on. I also have 17in GT rims, tires any smaller would be giving me traction problems when launching from a standstill.

The car sticks to the road really well, I was going into some of those curves faster than I wanted to, and the car was still holding the line I picked with no problems. I will have to practice some before I can really figure out what she can do.

All in all Im very pleased. Im $1900 into the GT bumpers, GT duals, GT rims, GT sways, tint, and leather seat covers. I paid 20k, so Im into this for $21,900 so far.

Ive got a long way to go before I come anywhere near the 3-5k dealer markup on a 05 GT.
