CAI and new muffler. I've heard great things about the new aero turbine exhaust. $230 for it and will cool exhaust temps so your engine can run cooler and run more efficiently.

They have a really annoying whistle and they are more expensive than flows.

overrated?
its not there fault they sound good, and you cant just listen to a random car thats not a mustang and say "yea they have flows...so over rated.." if someone hears the exhaust they say yea it sound nice....why get a non overrated exhaust that sounds bad just because you wana be cool

plus flows are not expensive at all as far a the exhaust industry goes. you have no idea wat your talking about

I have 2 buddies (one with a mustang, 06 v6, other is a 2004 dodge ram)....both had flowmasters. They BOTH switched over to Aero Exhasut. Both noted better exhasut notes AND cheaper price. I don't know what I'm talking about? Take the time to learn about the other product Chris.....

why do you think so many people have flowmaster
and your making it seem like sooooo many people have them
alot of people do but not as many as your saying to be.

alot of people have them for a reason. they sound GOOD

why dont people have that turbine bullshit...cuz i bet it sounds like shit

Chris...you have to understand this...I am not knocking on flowmasters. I'm not saying they are bad....they are good. The reason everyone doesn't have aero exhaust is because just like you, not a lot of people know about it. It is NEW to the market. So before you start ranting and raving...know what I mean. www.aeroexhaust.com is the site. If you want demos, just go to www.youtube.com and search for "aero turbine exhaust". And when it comes to cars....everyone has their own preference on certain things. Some people will spend extra money for K&N CAI, some will spend $20 on ebay, everyone is different. So we cool now?

the aero cooling thing seems like a cheap gimmick to get you to buy, but they sound no where near as good as flows IMO
