I have read many times these motors make better numbers and track times with a smaller exhaust, NA... But supercharged? Anyone know for sure? I don't feel like spending the time and money to find out for myself.

^ haha and thats what alot of people say when i tell them... but you cant believe the way it makes my 2v sound i love it because it sounds unique... and i know most guys mustangs wont ever sound like mine.... and other stang owners ask me all the time what exahust im running and i say full SLP some people think its a custom exhaust....not many people are willing to spend that much on a stang exhaust.... running all SLP it cost me like $2000 after all was said and done and thats with me doing the installs and thats just the exhaust...it may have not been the wisest decision but i still think its worth every penny

you get what you pay for. i ran lm1s w/ a slp high flow x on my gt. slp makes great products. i just bought my cobra and it came with borla stingers. i will definitely be buying slp longtubes with the high flow x pipe to match up to the stingers.

^ great find i wish i could have paid that for mine and it has to be they are 1-5/8" and mine are exactly like those in the pic

But are they true ceramic coated?

 

[pyschopath76]

i have the same one's danniboy has and yes they are true ceramic coated.

 

[Scott2001GT]

damn if I had the money I would buy thoughs SLP!

I just bought Hookers that were Sterling Silver coated (which is better than cermaic) by Jet Hot. They were having an invontory reduction sale plus 50% off last week. Got them today for $434.87 + shipping. Call them and ask for Gus. He hooked me up. 800-432-3379 ext 2045. Tell them you tried to call last week and no one would pick up maybe they will honer the 50%, They had 5 at start of sale. www.jethot.com

That's a good deal. Problem is I just totaled my car the other day... I don't need headers, I need a whole new car...

that sucks

Clearance for a clutch install is important to consider, I just went past MAC LT's on a new clutch install and it was not fun at all. I would wonder if the more expensive LT's have more clearance for a clutch install....I don't think I could of done it w/o my lift honestly because the trans had to get turned in the air then slid in w/ virtually no clearance...and this was with loosening the entire pass side header.

You had to do this with a mac header? I ran into that issue with BBKs on a 4v. But I can easily get the trans out of my 96 (4v) with mac LT's.

40% increase in area and volume from 2.5" to 3". I was hoping to make a 3" exhaust, hence the want for 3" collectors.

How much power are you planning on making?

I have read many times these motors make better numbers and track times with a smaller exhaust, NA... But supercharged? Anyone know for sure? I don't feel like spending the time and money to find out for myself.

I DEFINATELY would not go larger the 1 5/8s and 2 1/2" on an N/A modular. And it also depends on how much power is being made on a supercharged application.

Around 500 or less, Id still stick with the smaller headers and collectors.

Over that, it would depend on the combo and intention of the car. A daily driven Centri blown car, I'd stick with the smaller exhaust. For a twinscrew car, you can get away with bigger primaries and collectors due to the massive amounts of low end torque.

My 96 Cobra is a prime example of a small exhaust performing well. It consists of mac 1 5/8's LT's, O/R H, and a flowmaster 2ch (american thunder) cat back. I still love the classic H pipe/flowmaster sound.

At may power level (677/643) I know there's more in it swapping to a larger and better exhaust. But it obviously is not hurting me THAT bad to make that kind of power and run a 9.93 @ 142 with a stock longblock 04 Cobra motor and a KB2.8H.

I'm planning on upgrading to a set of American racing 1 7/8" headers, 3" O/R X, and 3" bullets dumped (I know I'm going to hate the sound, but I'm going for max performance) When I do swap to the bigger exhaust, I'm going to make sure to report the true gains. I wont be able to judge the improvement by my track times because I'm about to put the car on a MAJOR diet before the exhaust gets changed. I want to see how quick I can get it without adding anymore power


EDIT: I just saw this:

That's a good deal. Problem is I just totaled my car the other day... I don't need headers, I need a whole new car...

That REALLY sucks. I wish you the best of luck with getting a replacement for it.

Where is the car that you totaled? if you have it, want to sell it wrecked?

In Fairport Ohio right now. I have full coverage so insurance is probably going to take possession. I'm waiting to see what the buy back will be, might part it out, I want the motor for my jeep. If not, at least trying to get my intake and supercharger back. Was the first GT to have the 03-04 Cobra supercharger. If not, I will just make another...
