Went by some shops

v606er · April 21st, 2008, 08:24 PM

Well I went by an exhaust shop and talked to them about what I want to do, and they told me that a turbo (just the name of it) exhaust kit by cherry bomb would be good. It would get high flow and it would be not as loud as a gt but louder than what i have now. That is what I want. The exhaust is duals. The price for install and parts would be 450$

I went by the Ford service area and talked to the guy from Ford Racing about differentials and gears. I need to the the 8.8" if I get the turbo. The 8.8" comes with 3.55 gears. That runs at 1,400$. If i got the 3.73 gears, total would be about 1,700$.

I guess my question would be, should I spend the extra money and get the 3.73's, or would it not really matter with the turbo?

CLiffnotes:
Exhaust: 450$
8.8" which comes with 3.55=1400$
----3.73's would bump that to 1700$
Is it worth it the get 3.73's when i get a turbo?

Speed Concepts - TO1024 - 2005-2008 Mustang GT 8.8 Rear End Axle takeoffs with 3.55 gears and T-lock (also direct fit on V6 models)

3.31s and with everything in that link and call it done

That sounds a tad bit expensive for adding the gears. But if you're going forced induction, 3.73 gears and a strong rear end would be a good thing to have. It'll all depend on how much HP you're aiming for as far as the 8.8 rear end goes.

cuz cherry bombs will sound like shit, just stick wit a more popular muffler. magnaflow, mac, flows, borla, bassani, etc are all popular for a reason

good advice

98stangv6 · April 21st, 2008, 10:12 PM

actually the cherry bomb turbo doesnt sound bad at all. my friends gf has a 01 v6 with a cherry bomb dump exhaust and it doesnt sound bad but its not as throaty or as loud as flowmaster, mac, borla, magnaflow, etc.

98stangv6 · April 21st, 2008, 10:26 PM

WLJohnson05 · April 21st, 2008, 10:26 PM

dont get 3.73 with turbo. 3.55 should be the max you go. 3.55 or 3.31 as chris said would be good. and dont get cherry bomb exhaust.
