Hi finally bought my first mustang....

paul20jsu · 07-30-2005, 10:05 PM

I have wanted one ever since I was a kid and I finally got it three weeks ago. It is a Solid black 2002 GT coupe. Just ordered an intake a few days ago from MT along with GT floormats, Mach 1 shift knob, and 14" antenna. The car came with algamite(sp?) bullit rims, and a sweet exhaust. The exhaust is what made me buy this one. I have no idea what kind it is but I would like to find out. It has factory cats, factory h-pipe, but you can tell the mufflers are not factory. They are only about 6" long and maybe 6" wide, very small. No brand name or numbers to be found on them and I have not found anything on the web that looks like them. The best way to describe the sound is to say think straight pipes. They are very loud. I will try to get pictures of the car and mufflers posted on here soon so maybe some of yall can help me figure out what they are. I have a lot of questions that I will need help over time answering and yall seem like you know what you are talking about. I am so glad I found this site.

Later,
Paul

the 1st 2 things these guys will tell you to do is a) get it lowered and b) gears.

I'd suggest intake and exhaust. since its all stuff we're eventually gonna get. its all just a matter of choice.

if you read his thread then you would see that he ordered intake for it and it has some mufflers welded in.

Congrads on your first stang!! Sounds like you on the right path with your mods, if you don't have the gears already I'd definately invest in a set of 4.10s and a after market mid-pipe, the pro-chamber is a good choice

Enjoy dude and welcome!

Yea I am definatly going to get gears but I don't know which ones. Some guys say they wouldn't go with anything but 3.73, but others say 4.10. What should I go with? Whats the most important thing I should consider? I'm not gonna run it at the track every weekend but I will some. I drive my truck to work and the Mustang all the other time so i don't want to kill the gas mileage to much, however I want to do the best mods I can with out frying the engine........yet. I probaly won't do a supercharger or NOS unitll I can afford to be able to replace the engine if something goes wrong. Oh and how does that pro chamber sound compared to x or h pipes. I like the sound of H-pipes better(lower sound). So is the pro chamber low sounding and what kind of hp increase is it?

Thanks,
Paul

4:10's for an automatic and 3:73's for a stick
