    exhaust help plese

    Depends, do you want to spend $1200 or ~$400. Borla is way too pricey IMO. You can get a Flowmaster Hushpower or American Thunder axle back for around $400 and if you want it louder you can get an offroad H for around $300. I still have stock exhaust for now, but will probably go hushpower...

    5.0 - Better fuel economy on regular (non-premium) gas?

    The 17/26 MPG is what they are claiming for a 2011 GT. The 15/23 is for a supercharged 5.4L GT500. One link you are showing is for a 5.4L and the other is for a 3.7L. There is no 5.0 premium vs. regular comparison. I'm only running 87 if they run out of everything else. According to...

    T loc neccesary

    I always stick with the OEM LSD after my gear swaps. Unless it's gonna see strip duty every weekend or something. There are plenty of N20 and supercharged beasts running on OEM LSDs.

    2011 Mustang GT aftermarket H-pipe?

    To pick up a few more HP/TQ across the entire RPM range and improve over the crimped POS stock mid-pipe. Exhaust note improvement. The same reasons people have been swapping them out for years. :shrug:

    Gotta make a decision

    Insurance is gonna own you on a 2011 5.0 since you are 17. You could get a wicked fox body or nice SN-95 Cobra for ~$10K. Good luck.
