I dunno, i guess i'd go with the SLP, but thats just cuz i'm a big fan of hearing loud cars rumble by... just my humble opinion...

Well, I've got both and I must say that's a hard decision. I'd go with the SLP's first. P.S. If you're NOT looking at wedding rings- You're nucking futs!!!!!

I'd personally go with the XCal II because it is more expensive and then you can buy the cheaper one yourself!

I'd say the tune because I just always feel that is much more of a gain.

You must be referring to the fox body. Cause it sure ain't the 05 GT

And, back to topic, I would get the tune. The exhaust can be your Christmas present Sounds like she is a keeper! My wife of 10 years is still a little pi**ed I got the Mustang. Of course, I deserve it b/c she wanted to get the TransAm before they went off the market. Sometimes I really screw up

Get the tuner..
You'll need it sooner or later.
The moment you get Drag Radials, Gear Swap, CAI or anything that requires parameters modified on your stock computer..

The gift that keeps on giving.

Tuner opens the door for all other mods. If you bought a CAI you need a tuner. You dont need the SLP. Also they are only 235ish. Not that expensive =]
