I saw one at a Mustang Show not long after they came out. Beautiful car. $105K? Pass. I'll take a new 5.0 and a V6 with money left over for mods for that price.
I've owned both, I think I liked the MGW a little more than the Tri-ax, but they are both far better than stock. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
I had packs paired up to a prochamber and they were loud. My mechanic put a decibel reader thingy up to them at 4k RPMs and they were 128dB's, if I recall correctly. If my dad was driving my car (and he drove very conservatively) I could hear it long before I could see it.
Find someone who knows how to drive a stick and get them to teach you. Seriously? How are you gonna drive it home? My dad taught me when I was 18 and it took several lessons before I got it down comfortably. I hope you got someone to drive it back for you.
Sounds nice! I haven't seen the lava red yet in person, I'm still holding off final judgement, because so far I haven't been impressed by the pictures. It's still gonna be a long 6+ weeks, though :(
I had a stalker hood from cervinis for 7 years or so on my '01. It's got big ram air style openings that let water come in. No problems. However, thread is worthless without pics! :D
