the best tuner for our cars is SCT u can get the custom tune from , bamamchips or , c.j. pony ,the best cai to go with this is jlt , best price too, if u decide to go with out a tuner the best cai is airaid. like mine

07stanggt · May 2nd, 2008, 08:00 PM

I like the steeda with the carbon fiber inlet, as you can see from the pic. coolest air inlet temp and more flow then the JLT. After all the name of the thing is COLD AIR INTAKE.

If i thought something would be better id break out the visa in a second.

The only other cai I would go with is the Racer intake that you mentioned. Again a 95mm so more air, more then you need really. But if cams, heads or even a supercharger are in your future, the racer is worth a look, I know it will work with the saleen blower, have seen it, with a tune of course but you need that anyway. Most s/c kits come with their own though.

Rest of your list looks good. SCT/Predator. I dont have preference but then again, i plug it in, swap tunes when i need to and find out what cuased a cel. So its not something i use often or really care about.

Good luck

You'll get what ya pay for!...good luck with your choices.

07stanggt · May 2nd, 2008, 08:04 PM

by the way i got the kooks catted x, so again i'm with you bro

catted or not? where do live and how often you got emmisions? i went with the catted becuase I didnt want to deal with it. Plus kooks said the the o/r set up would only net you maybe 3 to the wheels. Sounds a little different though.

what branch/unit/mos you in over there?

eLLuSioNiST · May 2nd, 2008, 08:05 PM

are the off road headers really loud?

07stanggt · May 2nd, 2008, 08:09 PM

I dont have o/r but the catted ones are really loud, but i have magnapacks, i imagine your flows will tone it down a little. im sure the o/rs are a little louder then mine.

07stanggt · May 2nd, 2008, 08:12 PM

have you checked out the exhuast sticky at the top of the 05 page. here are kook o/r x with magnacks. you can click on my link in my sig to hear mine with the cats.

and btw 07stanggt i didnt get u when u said what branch/unit/mos you in over there? sorry if a noob

P.S: whats magnapacks ?!

07stanggt · May 2nd, 2008, 08:14 PM

Oh your thing says your in kuwait. I assumed you were u.s military. Is that where you live man.

07stanggt · May 2nd, 2008, 08:16 PM

magnapacks are mufflers (axle backs) like your flowmasters, different brand and different type, they are a straight through race muffler, basicall some resonators on the sides that all. You flows are chambered oval muffler, quiter.

Thats a magnapack, made by magnaflow.

Kooks long tubes with no cats and an X pipe is going to be very loud with any axle back. X pipe is the loudest midpipe set up as well. Dont let anyone tell you different. thats an expensive set up to buy and have to take off becuase of of the law, you know.

Its illegal in our country too, but guys do it anyway.

eLLuSioNiST · May 2nd, 2008, 08:25 PM

lol no no im kuwaity, aha so those are called magnapack i c thanks man!! btw do u know where i can get a lock differential for my AT gear

P.S: i think im gonna get the o/r anyways @#! The law hehe

Does that have L/T's and O/R x-pipe? If so throw those bad boys on my wish list from ya! Those sound nasty. Better than my chokemasters.

eLLuSioNiST · May 2nd, 2008, 08:51 PM

@ 07stanggt

hey man sorry to bother u but i have just 1 Question if i installed the headers o/r the check system will appear right? because of the cats, is it the same thing if i installed kooks with catts? the check system will also appear?

eLLuSioiST - Welcome to MM!

Check out BRENSPEED, BBK BMR SCT STEEDA MAC PYPES SLP MUSTANG PERFORMANCE PARTS - I also highly recommend the C&L Racer 95 mm - they have a package with the SCT tuner - $599 - comes with 3 tunes preprogrammed. Brenspeed had awesome service- they have other intakes as well. Here's a pick of mine - excuse the dirty engine bay - I was excited to show it off otherwise I would have tidyed up a bit! Glad to hear there's some good old fashioned American Muscle in Kuwait - CHEERS!

acehogg69 · May 2nd, 2008, 09:10 PM

If you have a tuner they will tweak it up when you take the cats off. MamaStang where abouts are ya in IN?
