Mufflers
Will changing my mufflers give me a deeper louder sound? My friend has a '96 GT with Flowmaster mufflers (or what he claims) and it sounds really loud and agressive. I don't know whether I should change my mufflers to Flowmasters (no money for entire cat back and o/r pipes) or keep my stock Saleen mufflers...

Also, I read from the MustangExhaust.com site that a lot of people recommend the Flow's with o/r H pipe...will it actually make a difference with or without the H pipe? I know my car has the Saleen X pipe maybe I should just take off a few cats. I don't think o/r pipes are legal in California... :icon_scra

An O/R H with flows will be VERY loud and bad *** sounding, trust me, I had the setup on my old stang. The flowmasters have their own sound, and I like it. Some complain about the 2k rpm drone, but I love it.

If your car is a Saleen, and you are short on funds for God's sake leave that puppy stock. You will only detract from the value of the car. That is a special car, unlike our GT's and is already a "tuner" car with a collectible value. The less you do to that thing, the better you are.
Cutting up your catback to weld some flows in for about $150 make take hundreds more off the value of that car.
I say leave the stock exhaust alone or swap in an entire catbak becaus eyou can always put the stock on back on.

so are engine mods excluded as well? What mods can I do to the car to add power without defacing its value or that can be put on without altering/welding things so that taking them off in the future won't be so difficult

I have the pireli p7000 265/35/18 in the back and 255/35/18 in the front I want to upgrade to some kumoh's, I think those are the best bang for the buck. They are cheap and really sticky.

I get that a lot, even from my dad who tells me to stay stock or go Saleen. But Saleen is so overpriced for their accessories and items. For the price of one of their blowers I can get the kenne bell one that produces more power and psi

You bought the car and that is sorta the corner that you backed into.
I have a few friends who are Porsche owners and they are stuck having the car always served by a certified mechanic. One guy even pays $160 for an oil change. Otherwise, the car looses value. One bud has a 1984 944 with 160k miles. The car is not worth much to begin with, so he does not bother.
For the Saleen I would avoid any visual mods at all. No appearance mods (rims, wings, etc) unless they are Saleen. For power mods, things like gears, subframes would be fine, but for other suspension or motor work you should stick with Saleen stuff as much as possible or practical.

I paid 86.50 for my last oil and filter change. I'm not going back again. I would rather take my car to www.x2cmotorsports.com (they are located pretty close to where I live and my friends have gotten their cars done there for performance parts and stuff.

Just remember... When inspection comes you'll have to get under her and re- install the stock x pipe....

x2c motorsports is a great place. They installed my control arms and they do good stuff to all mustangs. I'm going back sometime this month to smoke my rear tail lights then I'm going to do the X-pipe or gears.

No, I haven't taken my car to the tracks yet.
Does anyone know what kind of X-pipe Saleen uses? I saw somewhere on yahoo that they use the Bassani X pipe. Is this true? If it is then I guess I have no reason to upgrade my exhaust system at all since I'm convinced that they have the Borla mufflers. If I do in fact have a Bassani X pipe on my car. Is it possible to take the cats off?
