Hello guys/girls...my name is Joe and I just picked up a really clean 87 Mustang GT 5.0 5 speed. Its like a steel blue with the gray lower trim. 83K original miles, all vin tags in place...really nice clean car. Stock except for short throw shifter, flowmaster exhast,bbk intake, and an aftermarket flip up sunroof. It has the dual power lumbar seats, super clean interior. Exterior needs a buff and eventually a paint job, and its got pony wheels.


My questions: Whats better...an H or X-pipe. If I go with an offroad pipe, do I lose any low end? What are the best basic starter mods for a stang...and whats a good parts vender? Any and all advice is appreciated welcomed! I love the car!! :hail2:

I'm a Ford guy, I've had 6 Taurus SHO MTXs' but I just got sick of the parts being so hard to get and expensive. Not to mention you cant compare a SHO to a RWD 5.0...thanks guys! :SNSign:
 
first... welcome...
second...
two of my good friends in the parts industry:
50resto.com... around here known as lrs
bluovalindustries.com is pretty well liked by some...

thirdly...
actually... i probably should've stopped at second.

Your name is Joe huh??? We have a history here on Stangnet with Joe's :nonono: ....anyways welcome really the H vs. X pipe is all up too you. The H-Pipe will give you a more deeper tone (big block) while the X-Pipe will give you a more nascar like pitched tone....higher than an H-Pipe.

Check this link out for good first MODs.
