    SLP Loudmouth

    So what exactly is the problem with sounding like an old muscle car. Is not a mustang a muscle car? Do old muscle cars sound bad? I would think the old muscle car sound would be the sound you would strive for in ANY rear drive V8?! No?! It's actually interesting for me to see all this debate...

    long tubes vs. X-pipe

    yep, just remove the 2 head pipes (which are clamped in) and the headers go right into the cats.

    SLP Loudmouth Catback + SLP X Pipe = Loud?

    Yes, it would be louder with the headers.

    500hp from SLP

    So let me understand, I guess you ONLY buy from companies that sell Ford performance parts exclusively? You know, K&N sells parts for GM cars and even ...GASP... IMPORTS. Quick you better rip that piece of crap GM/import air filter off your car!

    500hp from SLP

    I don't know about the K&N FIPK but I do know that a lot of the claims made by the kits on the market are indeed true...but for reasons other than most think. Many of the kits out there bias the MAF sensor to a lower than actual reading. This leans out the mixture and improves power...

    X-Pipe install...need quick help

    That bracket is a 98 only piece. Before 98 and from 99 up it doesn't exist. Ford did away with it in 99 so I say just ditch it and tie wrap the wires up off the exhaust. Just put a jack under the trans. Unbolt the cross member and transmount (4 easily accessible bolts). The lower the trans just...

    what rwhp you guys gain when installing ....

    Look at the graphs on their web sight. They show a 30 hp & 35 ft/lb gain for the whole system. I would gues that the magnaflow catback would only cost you a few hp over the slp loud mouth. So you should get at least 25 rwhp. https://www.slponline.com/pdf/mustang_dyno.pdf

    True gains of basic mods

    It's a 2003. The 13.5 @ 100 was BEFORE the u/d pullies & predator. So that was with 262 hp. I suspect I should be in the low 13's with a couple mph more now. You might want to pay attention a little more when you read the posts. Bone stock the car ran [email protected] The numbers ARE real and...

    True gains of basic mods

    Stock 225 rwhp After SLP longtubes, catted x-pipe, cat back, cai: 262 rwhp diablo tune, u/d pulley: 281 rwhp Best time before u/d & diablo: 13:5 @ 100 (3.73 gears)

    True gains of basic mods

    Yeah, that's about right. Unbolting the cat back and leaving just the stock h-pipe only nets 7 or 8 rwhp. The biggest gains are in the h-pipe, but without a good cat back you can't realize all the gains of an aftermarket mid-pipe. So other than for better sound I would save my money and get a...

    Headers

    SLP long tubes will be available soon. I have seen the hookers and was disappointed with the transition from the oval port to the round tube. Basically it was accomplished in about 1/2" and held weld boogers all inside the tube.

    how much horse power gains for these mods

    If you go on SLP's sight they have dyno results showing a gain of about 30 rwhp for the headers/x-pipe/catback (260 rwhp total). So I would estimate about 15-20 rwhp for the x-pipe & catback without the headers. As far as the t/b & cai. You'll get some more gains but not huge. Maybe another 3-5...

    Does your SLP X-Pipe hang low?

    Remember, on the driver side the flange is a ball flange so there actually is A LOT of room for adjustment. And it looks like your driver side cat is lowest. If you loosen the bolts/studs on the driver side flange along with all the clamps then you should be able to push that one up and gain...

    SLP loudmouth

    As I understand it testing showed it to be the same as removing the cat back altogether.

    Does your SLP X-Pipe hang low?

    Exactly what white stang says should fix it. But you need to have ALL the clamps loose. Also remember that the driver side manifold has a ball flange so there is quite a bit of adjustment in it. So this should also be loosened before jacking it up at the X.

    BEST headers

    The SLP headers do come with everything you need to install them...including the o2 wire extension harnesses. Not saying that accounts for the whole price difference but it needs to be factored in.

    SLP loudmouth?

    After reading these I checked SLP's sight and I believe they list there stuff for the 04's now.

    Stock gear 3.27 1/4 times and mph (NA ONLY)...

    Just to chime in I've run 13.80's at around 100 mph with 3.27 gears. That was with SLP LT headers, catted x-pipe & cat back. Nothing else.

    Slp Catted X Pipe

    Actually did you mean to use the slp x-pipe with the magnaflow catback? If so that is a yes. As far as using a different catalytic converter with the slp x-pipe that what comes with it then that would be a trial and error kind of thing. You'd have to find one with the same dimensions. Why would...

    Slp Catted X Pipe

    Yeah, you just swap out the head pipes and the LT's collectors go right into the cats. That's why they have clamps there instead of welding it.
