This is my first Mustang so I'm learning the car. Been doing a lot of searching for info and so far it's been a lot of help. Bought the car last week and so far love it. Previous owner(s) put in a stage 2 clutch, 3:73 gears, Mach 1 chin spoiler, fog lights, CAI. It has an offroad x-pipe and no cats so it's very loud...gets a bit raspy at times. I'm in an area that requires cats for safety and emissions, so I plan to remedy and hopefully improve the tone while keeping it deep and kind of loud. It has a few other minor things that need to be addressed such as loose hood latch pull, loose gas tank door and the struts to keep the trunk open needing to be replaced.
I'm looking for advice in a couple areas and will also post these in the appropriate SN95 forums but interested in all opinions/advice. First is the Mach 460 stereo. Currently no head unit in the car so I haven't heard the system. My plan was to replace/upgrade the speakers etc when I get the head unit and would love to hear feedback and suggestions from those of you who have done this. I gotta believe the Mach 460 system is in need of an upgrade due to age and I might as well do it. I'm not a stereo nut, just want a setup that sounds decent.
The second piece of advice or experience I'm looking for has to do with wheel size and tires. I'm sure this kind of thing has been asked a ton. The Bullitt stock is lowered 3/4" from the GT. To me, the 245/45/17's look really small on the car. I've been debating whether to keep 17" wheels and do a staggered 275/35/17 front with 315/30/17 in back or go with an 18" wheel to reduce the space in the wheel well. 315's for the rear in 18" wheels seem to be rare and expensive, so would most likely go 265 or 275/35/18 front and 295/30/18 back. Anyone with any experience, opinions, advice, or pictures here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance...Looking forward to learning more about these cars and enjoying the hell out of mine!
