Also food for thought, I hear adding a H pipe will make the exhaust louder vs. the xpipe which flows better. That is why I am sticking with a x pipe later, I don't want to set off every car alarm in my neighborhood.

Excepcion13,

Do you have any sort of lowering springs on your car? Your car seems to have a lot less space between the tire and wheel well than mine does (and a lot of other people's as well). Most V6 mustangs have a huge gap above the tires (especially the rear), but yours doesn't.

Just curious. Nice ride BTW...

I think it is cause of his 17in bullets. I had the 16inch alloy wheels with spinner, and noticed a big difference when I went to my 17in bullets.

Will do! This is where I got the idea for red stripes:

Originally I was going to use satin stripes, but the wife loves the dark red stripes!!! And it would make my stang one of a kind here in DC.

Very nice pics! Those black stripes work with your car's color. The louvers rock too and really adds to that retro look! All of the dollars I can srounge seem to go to performance oriented mods though (I think it is an addiction). One day I will put some green into the looks on my car

Thanks, man! I hear ya about the performance.... I am about to drop some cheese on the performance side of the equation. I have already bought my Detroit TrueTrac, girdle, and CAI. When I put them all on, I am taking her in for an SCT XCAL2 and tune. Next year are the headers and the duals. Then she'll be more than just a pretty face...

@ Rygen: those red stripes will look really nice, man! That's the look I want for my Cobra--when I get it...in 2008! (That's when this one's paid off!!! A souped up V6 DD and a supercharged Cobra for the weekends... Does life get any better?)
