Default OUt of the loop but back now. With ???

Some of you might rember me I posted in the new members and then was never heard from again. Things got a little exciting around but now there back to normal. Now for an update... I have a 2003 GT Got some pics up now. It has a AEM cold air and Flowmaster cat back. I have 3 questions Is a new intermidate pipe worth anything? Performance/Sound diffrences between the X pipe H pipe designs? 2nd Whats the widest tire I can fit on a factory rim? 3rd I've heard the mustang trans are prone to bent shift forks. Is this true? Will a short shifter solve that? What is your guys opinions on all the diffrent short shifters out there?

Midpipe is the biggest thing (besides headers) that you can do on an exhaust system. X's are better for all-around performance and torque gains, going offroad provides you with an even greater HP/Torque gain.

Widest tire is Probably a 275, and as for the shift fork bending, they are more commin in the t-45s, than your tranny, but a short throw shifter is a great buy, one of the best mods, MGW is the best out there as far as short throw shifters go

x pipes ad h pipes do sound a little different, h-pipes sound deeper, but less power gains, x-pipes sound more raspy

I actually saw pics of a guy who mounted some 315/35 17's on a stock bullit rim (8" rim) and it looked like ***...
