I've been looking online for hoods for my mustang and I was curious about hoods with Ram Air induction systems with them as well. Does anybody know of any good hoods out there? I saw one online called Cervini's Mustang Concept Hood but i have no idea if this is a good hood.
Also for exhaust I was debating with Borla Stingers (either FRPP or Borla) or Flowmasters. Flowmasters seem cheaper and more worth it but I'm not sure which sounds better or which is better quality like HP gains (which i know is not much). Also are they hard to install or any necessary tools i need or should i just leave it to the professionals. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Cervini's quality is fantastic. You want to buy it from a reputable dealer. Some companies are selling knock-offs. Please tell us which dealer you're considering.

The hood's going to need to be painted, and a good body shop will usually want to blend the fenders, so I would leave it to the body shop.

Cervinis products are very high quality. Very little work is needed to prep their hoods. I don't really know much about any of the other companies.

Mufflers are very subjective, you can find people who either love or hate any muffler you choose. You can find clips all over the place, try Youtube and Brenspeed to start. You can get an idea of what you like and don't like this way but I would recommend trying to hear them in person before buying anything. There are guys on this forum that have gone through half a dozen or more combos of midpipes and mufflers.

Sweet thanks guys, for the Cervini's though should i try buy those online? Not sure how available out here in the middle of no where... but i do know we got a good body shop that'll paint it for me....also though what should i do about pin stripes? I have a black mustang with 2 white stripes down the middle of her. If i'd get the hood i wouldn't wanna leave it just black.

yep, my friend who now has a 2008 california special mustang is looking to get some semi-loud axle back exhausts since his 2005 mustang with a whipple supercharger had flowmasters with the cats taken out and those dual exhausts drowned out his blower.
