catback vs. chin spoiler/grill delete

mrbigjeep · July 8th, 2008, 12:03 AM

bored and want opinions on what to do first...should i do magnaflow mufflers first (already made up my mind on muffler choice) or a chin spoiler and mach 1 grill delete?

if i do exhaust i will only do the mufflers right now. as for tips, i will either keep the stock ones or just get some rolled ones if i can afford it...if not they will come later if i decide i want them.

i know exhaust should be one of the first things to get the 281 sounding the way it should but the chin spoiler/mach 1 grill makes the front look completely different (in a good way)

i feel like i will get an obvious answer but oh well.

exhaust or chin spoiler/mach 1 grill which one first?

You have to ask yourself one question: "Do I want it to look better or sound better?"...which are you least happy with? The looks or the sound?

Personally I say go with the cosmetic stuff. The gains from a muffler swap is minimal at best.

Roos85 · July 8th, 2008, 11:03 AM

Why dont you just do both... Thats always an option

i wouldn't say this is doing the exhaust wrong...considering magnaflows are good mufflers. and i will still do the mid pipe. just not right now. i don't see how it will hurt to wait.

i know the gains are minimal even though magnaflow is a good muffler. this would be mainly for sound, not looking for a huge gain in performance. and i would do the mid pipe later on down the road (after the cosmetic stuff if i chose exhaust first).

i think the front is probably the worst looking part of the car. and the cosmetic stuff would do wonders for the front. as for the sound, i definitely don't think it sounds bad now. it actually sounds pretty darn good for stock exhaust. i just know it would sound even better with some aftermarket mufflers.

and i will do both. just not at the same time. my mods come as money permits...since its not like i have to do them all at once. won't hurt to wait.

oh2swapped · July 8th, 2008, 03:25 PM

why not just wait and save for a cat back and a O/R x-pipe, then you can do headers later on down the road. looks aren't for me but if thats what your into then hey go with it.

mrbigjeep · July 8th, 2008, 06:02 PM

i want my car to look good

i will do both midpipe and a catback. but i don't see why they have to be done together at the same time.

Stewie88 · July 8th, 2008, 06:34 PM

a couple mach parts wont do near the justice to a stang as an exhaust well IMO

because you have the car in the air and you already have it in peices so why not do it all ya know?

I say go with the Grill delete or save for the midpipe back exhaust

Abe02GT · July 8th, 2008, 08:07 PM

I did all kinds of stuff to my stang and one of the best mods I did was............Mach1 chin/grille delete. It cleans up the front so well. I hated the way it looked stock.

00redgt · July 8th, 2008, 08:09 PM

go for the looks,then get the sound, but its really up to you

i have to agree. i'm not too fond of the way the front looks. i don't think it looks terrible but it doesn't look great...and the chin spoiler/grill delete would make a huge difference.

i think i'm goin with the grill delete and chin spoiler first. i will take yalls advice and do the midpipe and catback exhaust all at once. which is why i'm doing the grill delete/spoiler first...so i can go ahead and at least get a couple mods on because it will take a while to save up for the exhaust.

thanks to all
