Just bought a 13 GT a week ago and love this thing to death for starters!! I put a roush axle back exhaust on so far but wanted to add a few more things.. Any ideas?

Was thinking cai, tune, long tube headers, x pipe... Which brands ?

Emissions is not an issue in Ohio so no cats on the x pipe?

You going to stay NA? A CAI and tune would be a great start. I recommend Steeda, if you decide to put on long tubes American Racing headers are they way to go, they offer X and H pipes catted or catless.

Are you going to supercharge it or put a turbo on it? If not then it is Normally Aspirated.

If you go with no cats on that x-pipe, you will want to get rid of those roush axlebacks. They are obnoxiously loud with no cats.

Roush axle backs are very loud even with the stock cats in place. It's what I have and people can definitely hear me coming.

Naturally Aspirated.

I also have the Roush mufflers, they are only a little more toned than running no mufflers at all, but about the same volume. Plenty loud.

Trust me, you'll love them. I was debating between the roush and the gt500 axle backs. I am so glad I decided on the roush's. I do not regret it at all. Love them!

Borla has 3 stages.. 1, 2 and Attak. If you're going X pipe, stage 1 is perfect. Keeps it quiet like stock (haha, with an x pipe), but roars when you step on it.

Oh yeah. It sounds really mean; almost too loud but it does quiet down when you're just cruising.
