    Correct the use of one term in your post; a GT takeoff is literally a stock catback taken off of a GT with OEM exhaust. The ones you are looking at on the website are aftermarket GT catbacks

    GT take off's

    GT takeoffs are fine, and the 2 1/4" diameter pipes (just like your stock exhaust) will maintain some backpressure, which is good for your low-end torque. You can always weld in some flows later if you choose to do so. You will need to have a midpipe fabricated from behind your stock cats...

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    My wife's '04 V6 had some pre-detonation issues with both the 87 octane and 93 octane performance tunes that came pre-loaded on a Superchips Max Microtuner bought a couple of years ago. I recently switched to an XCal 2 from VMP Tuning and so far so good....no pinging and good performance.

    Ram Air

    Adding a ram air hood scoop has as much chance of adding 25 HP to your Cobra as me adding snake emblems has of adding 25 HP to my Mach 1

    Duals

    Mike, Since you already have headers and a CAI, duals certainly won't hurt and will complement those mods. If you do go with them stay with 2 1/4" pipe diameter (as in the stock setup) to maintain backpressure as Skymarshall posted. A GT takeoff catback and fabricated midpipe provides a...

    I have seen other people also report that SLP loudmouths don't sound good on a V6. Like you recommended though, Flows have gotten nothing but good reports.

    DO go with 4.10's if you're going to invest in a rear gear change. They will perform fine in a V6, especially a daily driven one. If you believe all the horror stories and settle for less, then you might want to shoot yourself.

    Using the same vendor (American Muscle) you referenced earlier: Midpipe http://www.americanmuscle.com/v6-x-h-pipes.html Use one of the catted X or H pipes (assuming you must pass emissions testing) or use the adapter, which welds on behind your stock cats, or simply have a muffler shop...

    Mach 1 I dont know if I should get 4:10s

    If you consider switching to 3.73's instead of 4.10's or higher, I would suggest you just keep the stock 3.55's in the car. There's not enough difference in those ratios to justify the expense involved.

    Instrument Cluster - Something resetting?

    +3 for the battery. If you disconnect the battery for about 30 mins and then re-connect it, the guages will perform a full sweep at startup just like you have described.

    Any catback that will fit a '99-04 GT will fit your car, whether it be Magnaflow or some other brand, if you have a muffler shop fabricate a midpipe or buy an aftermarket midpipe made to fit a V6. The site you referenced above will have them. Incidentally, the the Steeda exhaust in the link...

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    The Magnaflow catback referenced in your link is not the way to go. It does not eliminate the constriction of the stock Y-pipe from your exhaust, which should be the real point in converting to dual exhaust in the first place, but instead only gives the "look" of true dual exhaust for a...

    Need *urgent* help - new 04 stang!

    An intake (CAI) by itself isn't going to have much effect on sound or performance, but will to a greater extent if you add a true dual exhaust system, especially one that includes an aftermarket X-pipe. I haven't heard a V6 that sounds quite as bad as a rice burner, and although they are not...

    Try out the 87 octane performance tune some time and report back if you experience any pre-detonation.

    gears

    I had FRPP gears installed, and they didn't need any special break-in procedures.
