Ok now my stang feels slow as hell and i just got it.....i got a couple of the basic mods already although i still wanna change my exhaust to bassani or spintech(w/ dr. gas X). My question is what should get next? im looking at spending no more than 400 this pay day.


I might end up getting some suspension cause im VERY disatisfied with the way my stang handles since thats the main thing i want out of my stang is handling not a crap load of power.....

For under 400.00 and the biggest thing for handling to me was subs...get some welded in and you'll notice a world of difference...no more rolling outta the seat in corners... I hated that...55 in a sharp corner was freaky before...I would also lower it..
for 400.00 both should be do-able....if the shocks/struts are roached, then i'd add that in...
the Bullit kits has high marks, for the money spent....but if your into handling...MM or HR stuff would be best...

Spintech's ??? Got a pair right here for sale if your interested...Sportsmans with flo-tubes....

man i wanna start upgrading my suspension, and BTW nice under car Rio. I'd go with the exhaust first, then get your handling. Getting a good sound is awesome

Subframes make a huge difference. I'd start there.

I think he has Flowmasters???

From the back Cars on the lift at the moment, its going into storage today..I like to soak the mother with WD40 and give it a good cleaning for the winter while its setting..

I pd 220.00 for em...I'd take 120.00 shipped..They still look new and nada rust..
These should sound killer with an X...they sound sweet with my Prochamber..I almost went an X...
These are Sportsman 2.5"...the quieter of the two they make...These bolt/lined up right to the stock locations...your tails should be right for connecting..

Thanks...Its hands down the best tool I own...This time of year I get bored and just work the bottom to clean it up some...With a lift you see the bottom more than the top, so you get anal when bored...

Subs for handling. Full length three point welds are definitely better than those tubular FMS crapos (personal experience).
