friend of mine just got these put on his car , he about crapped his pants , havent dynoed yet but I have an article at home in an older 5.0 mag ,where bassani midlengths and catted x pipe went from 309 rwhp to 343 rwhp , I would say by the way he ran beside my car afterwards that he is closer to 350 rwhp or more , that thing is flying now , before it felt like it was holding back , now its wide open . busting the tires up in third , before would barely chirp second .
 
probably try to get some video soon , he got me though , launched and hooked up better off the line , I was catching him but not quick enough LOL . Before the longtubes I would have ate his lunch . both cars are true blue , his is a vert with tan top and matching stripes

I've been buggin' the wife to let me get some LT's too. :( Mine's only a stage II though....
Tell the wife that you broke a part or something and you need to spend some $$$. That's what I tell my wife every time I want to get something for the Roush. She knows squad about cars! :rlaugh: She still thinks that the KB blower is an engine part that I broke on my way from work to home!!!

Sad part is, my wife knows ALOT about mustangs now and knows better. She's been with me too long.....:(

Can we trade wifes for about a month? :p

Was the Roush stock (using the term loosely), prior to the longtubes?


BBK 75 mm TB , dont know if that was stock or not , roush cold air kit , aluminum driveshaft and roush differential cover he bought those 3 things when he bought the car , everything else is bone stock , except we put on the BBK ceramic coated longtubes , and offroad BBk x pipe with BBK MILs .

Yeah, that TB is stock. Thanks for the info on everything. Darn it, now you're going to make me go spend some money :mad: :D . May have to try the previously mentioned trick of telling the wife the car broke.
