Next Upgrade

thepizzle44 · May 3rd, 2008, 06:48 PM

So i have a 2003 GT Vert 5 speed and i just put in my JLT True Cold Air Intake and i already ordered my magnaflow cat back....i was wondering wat u guys would do for ur next upgrade???? gears???? chip??? tune??? watever. Just wondering cuz i ran a 14.8 at the track my first time up without the intake so i prolly could get a better time next time but i dont wanna completely break the bank..

gears then headers

00redgt · May 3rd, 2008, 06:54 PM

offroad x or h pipe, tuner, gears,but u need to know how much u want to spend first,cause it can be pricey,but tuner an gears will help alot

thepizzle44 · May 3rd, 2008, 07:03 PM

id rather not do an h or an x pipe because of the loudness...i cant really afford to get pulled over by the cops and issued a ticket because im trying to get on the police force and that would f my chances up a lil bit. lol

00redgt · May 3rd, 2008, 07:09 PM

then get some gears an tuner, then get pulled over when u get on it with the gears in it.ticket

Can go with a catted h/x pipe which is better IMO. Wont be as loud as an off-road. -shane

I agree with the guy above me. Get a h-pipe with high flow cats. The mid pipe is the most restrictive part of the stock exhaust.

^^^^ both right. Neighbor has a full bolt on GT with catted x and it was only real loud when he got on it and drove like a retard.

Roos85 · May 4th, 2008, 01:09 AM

I would do an aftermarket mid pipe.. I am working on mine right now

thepizzle44 · May 4th, 2008, 01:33 PM

any recommendations for a midpipe? MAC's are pretty short money...but ihavnt really read any reviews for them

00redgt · May 4th, 2008, 11:32 PM

pypes an mac are a good way to go without breaking ur wallet

supercharger....

thepizzle44 · May 5th, 2008, 12:08 AM

well yea id love to do a procharger or somethin like that...but thats later on i just wanna start piecing it together before that if i do go through with it

I have an 04 GT vert, and the first thing I did was cat-back Magnaflows, which sound awesome. Then I did an MGW shifter, which makes a huge difference too. I would recommend putting in a shifter, it's a major improvement over the stock. Then I did 3.90 gears and an XCal tuner. I like the 3.90s a lot -- a more noticeable difference over the 3.73s and a little more street friendly then 4.10s, not to mention better on the highway.

i ve had my O/R H pipe and stingers on for over a year and have yet to be pulled over for that, and btw its not a ticket just a citation <insurance will not go up

Danish mustang · May 5th, 2008, 02:57 PM

gears would be the way to go..

oh2swapped · May 5th, 2008, 03:12 PM

Im gonna knock on wood here but the cops around my area don't care about loudness of the car. But the do get me for speeding

(thats not even in my mustang thats in my work van!!)
