well i was all set to order the c500 body kit from cervinis than i just saw a guy driving around town with one a couple of days ago and today I saw someone else. i really want something different so I was thinking of going with a: roush front end, cervinis side exhaust, and a 3d carbon duck tail spoiler (i was going to get this one with cervini kit in the first place), and 20" shelby razors. the hood and side scoops I'm undecided on which style i want so I'm going to buy them down the road because I want to get these parts on the car first and see how everything looks. before i start ordering what does everyone think??

Personally, I don't think the Roush front end flows at all with the S197 body. It looks like a cow catcher to me. Otherwise, sounds like a good combo. What about the Saleen Heritage front bumper? It's similar to the GT500, but works with the GT hood. In the end, it's all what looks good to you. It's your car, you're the one that has to enjoy it. That's why there are choices.

I've been thinking of the side exit exhaust. How is the sound difference DarkFire? Which do you like better?

I liked the side exhaust before the X pipe. It was hard to find an H pipe when I bought the midpipe, so I went X. It's a bit too high and raspy for me. But that's the X pipe's fault, not the exhaust. The rest of the exhaust sounds great. It just needs a prochamber or o/r h pipe. Here's a few clips, but as you know, things sound different in person. These are dolby 5.1, though, so they're pretty close.

These were dyno runs. Obviously, they're indoors, which creates a hell of an echo, so all you can really tell here is that it's loud.

Just a little compilation I threw together one day on the way to Best Buy. Fiance driving, so no clips with the car being floored.

This is not dolby, it was taken with a regular handycam, but since it's stationary, it probably shows the sound the best. It sounds good, it's just a bit high pitched, again, due to the x pipe.

Thanks for the vid posts Dark I had it hooked up to my stereo and sounds fairly decent, but you're right about sounding different in person. I'm going to have to ask for a ride-a-long with somebody from the Mustang Club if/who has side exhaust(I haven't attended since April so I have no clue).

Tungsten07, I plan on doing the Roush bumper along with the Steeda cowl hood. I was wondering what that would look like, then soon thereafter there was a post of somebody who did just that I like it!

yeah man that looks real nice. i'm really leaning toward the heat extractor hood myself from cervini i'd just like to see it on a car other than their promo shots. but that cowl looks mean looking!
