I would like to do a few simple bolt ons though. I keep reading about underdrive pulleys...what is the benefit of installing those? I have to have the grille delete and wanted a chin spoiler but my driveway is way to steep. I'm barely making it up as is.
Speaking of mufflers I have a bone stock 00 GT and I dont wanna make it too loud but it def has to be louder than stock. With just buying mufflers and welding them in does anyone have any experience of how they sound with the stock piping? Also I mean in terms of better flow and power gains is it really worth getting the whole cat back or is mufflers just a cheaper and easier way of going about it?

Ive had both flowmasters and Magnaflows welded on, both sound better
than stock. Magnaflows are straight thru design so they flow better.
Add a midpipe and then your exhaust will definatly add some power.
Before I added my Bassani I couldnt actually feel any difference.
Yea I have had MAC cat backs on all of my previous stangs, but this one I dont want to be crazy loud so I think I will just have the flow paths welded in instead of getting the entire cat back with the 2 1/2in piping.
Well the CD player didn't work so he had another factory unit that he gave me. Installed that one yesterday and it had the same common "cd error" message. Guess I'll be going after market. Wanted something to hook my ipod up to anyway.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the stock piping. My car already had flowmasters welded-in when I bought it. It sounded much better than stock but still not to my liking, so I swapped them out for a pair of MAC flowpaths. I never got a compliment on the sound when it had the flows, but since welding in the MAC's Im getting compliments everywhere.
I paid $56 for each flowpath mufflers and another $25 to weld them in. A lot better than the $300+ catback + $50-100 for installation.
