TDog · January 5th, 2007, 02:28 PM

okay, i just put on a CAI for 3bills. Give me 4 more mods in order for under 400$(each). I cant decide or know what to do next. Thanks all

BWAL09 · January 5th, 2007, 02:52 PM

a tuner

Tony_90fox · January 5th, 2007, 05:02 PM

gears, short throw shifter (steeda tri-ax, Pro 5.0), tuner

csredfire07 · January 5th, 2007, 05:23 PM

steeda underdrive pullies

TDog · January 5th, 2007, 05:36 PM

is the pulley hard to install ? do i need a tune ?

oldernewbie · January 5th, 2007, 05:57 PM

Axle-back exhaust (Easy Install).

csredfire07 · January 5th, 2007, 07:39 PM

The pullies are not that hard to install. The crank pully is the worst of the two though. Radiator gets in the way. But bang for buck, you will notice a vast improvement in performance and you will need a tune. But it is worth it.

TDog · January 5th, 2007, 08:33 PM

cool. Thank you !

trueballerisme · January 5th, 2007, 09:11 PM

tuner. gears. UD pulleys. and maybe work on ur exhaust

sonicblue · January 5th, 2007, 09:35 PM

GEARS! no better bang for the buck. and of course a good exhaust to listen to

TDog · January 5th, 2007, 09:38 PM

man, i gotta tell you. I feel strange even saying it...but the 2007 GT factory exhaust already sounds bad ass. I'm afraid i will be trading apples for apples. My god, its what, 2.5 inch pipe all the way to the headers ????

miafan · January 5th, 2007, 09:56 PM

yes they do sound good, but change your 4 cats to two very high flow cats and your mufflers and it'll sound grrreat! it's well worth it.

trueballerisme · January 5th, 2007, 09:57 PM

WUUUUTTTT u can get a MUCHHHHHH BETTER exhaust. u have a gt so definately go with an SLP loudmouth

TDog · January 5th, 2007, 10:00 PM

damn, I guess I just have not heard anyting else. Ford kicked some A-hole though with their factory pipes in the new GT. I'll have to hear it. GIVE ME SOME SOUND !

racefan15 · January 5th, 2007, 11:24 PM

you guys are getting way better deals than im finding on aftermarket parts if you can get everything you are suggesting to this guy for his 400$ budget....

AM1AW · January 5th, 2007, 11:35 PM

Not everything for $400, he said $400 each
1. Gears. The best bang for the buck. Just make you find a good shop to install
2. Tuner ( I like the Xcal 2) then take it to a shop and have it dyno tuned.
You probably won't have the other $400 to spend after getting gears installed and a dyno tune, but eithe UD pulleys or CMCV delete plates.

psycho bob · January 6th, 2007, 12:57 AM

i love my tri-axe shifter. you can slam the gears all day and it's just as tight as it gets. the factory shifter is way way to mushy.

dave07GT · January 6th, 2007, 03:32 AM

ill agree on the stock exhaust sounding great! I just picked up my GT 3 days ago and i love the sound. im still getting the exhaust done, i just dont know what brand, etc to go with yet. my old pony was flowmaster 40 series with stock h-pipe (cats gutted) and shorty headers.

that was a nice rumble.

L33T · January 7th, 2007, 07:27 AM

Having been down this road, I would suggest an XCAL2 + Charge motion delete plates next. (400 each) Then another few hundred for install and custom dyno tune.

Then do the shifter + gears or pullies.

molo · January 7th, 2007, 01:21 PM

Hey TDog,

Cheesy video here, but I thought it was a good comparison of stock vs. loudmouth. It had me sold on 'em

I have them myself and cant get enough. Significantly louder than stock exhaust. Just be sure you can deal with the increased interior noise.

Also if you plan to add an off road mid pipe down the road, you may want to consider something else, because that combined with SLP LM is excessively loud.
