I didn't much more than that for my blower and supporting mods. That netted me 350 rwhp.

No, not when comparing catted versions anyways...the SLP is one of the best X pipes on the market overall, and the best overall when it comes to catted mid pipes IMO.

When it comes to O/R, IMO it goes DR. gas in 1st with VRS and SLP very close behind. In otherwords, dont worry about it....you made a very good decision.

Thanks 98stang ... !
she stuck by me for 4 deployments to Iraq and Afgan.. so you could say she is the ****nit'

well I got heads and cams on the way.....but I live in California so I have to be very werry of what kind of mods I do... I like the fact that I can stay N/A and still smoke some of the newer imports pushing 300+...But dont get me wrong I would love the sound of a KB under the hood !

Well its still catted, so it will quiet the sound down...however vs your stock H pipe, this X pipe will make much more noise . Packs + O/R X = REDICULOUSLY LOUD. Packs + Catted X = attention getter but not annoying loud.
So I think you will be happy with it....the sound quality for one should be MUCH better than your current setup. And a volume boost is just icing on teh cake

You just wasted money for very little power, I am now saving for supercharger cause I already spend more then 7000 on mods and install with very little gain. If I could do it all over again I will get supercharger and be done with it

^ My 292RWHP Gt was DARN fast IMO...the speed kept me pretty much happy. It was freegin detroit that forced my current mods....specifically the 400HP dodge sedans, and the 03-04 cobras. I peorsnally dont regret any of my mods...if I had done the S/C first, imgaine how many darn retunes I would have needed as I slowly added parts...and since my tuner is in GA...yea

Its in the pic in my sig....forgot that some have the sig pic off. Hmm maybe I should put it in text also.
Anywho lol, it makes 479RWHP/ 512RWTQ @ 9.2PSI I believe it was 450/481 @ 8.0 PSI.

95% of my WOT street blasts are on 8PSI...I rarely press the button to set it to boost group two (9PSI). It should help her last longer I guess....and the power keeps me more than happy.

From what I remember he got good deals on a lot of the parts and his Dad and him fab'ed it all up themselves so cost might be off a little..

I LOVE HIS CAR!

Well I had about $5500 in parts before the turbos. then with EVERYTHING else we done when we pulled the car down...I spent about another $7000. TOTAL to date would be around 13K in mods I guess....but thats tune, all 3 of them haha, parts I can no longer use (IE LT headers, old X pipe, JLT, electric WP, ect), and some $$$ added in for misc parts we needed for teh turbo build.

My car was right at $24,000 new (25,0xx if I paid 5 years of interest..I payed 2.5 years ) so 24,000 + 13,000= $37,000 TOTAL.
AKA $1,000 more than the same dealer wanted for a new 04 cobra. Not bad when I think about like that LOL.
