If I could find an exhaust that isn’t too aggressive, I may add that at some point, but I don’t want to ruin the appeal of this car.

It would be sweet if it was bit lower to the ground, but I don’t want to mess up the ride quality. I think the OEM sports suspension is a good balance between sport and comfort. I also happen to really like these wheels so I won’t be changing them. I will pick up a set of winter wheels and tires for December through March. Summer tires are not going to work too well in the winter. Been there, done that. My last two cars were Mustang GT’s. <o>

Congrats on your car....I have a Platinum Graphite 6MT and love it. I put the Stillen Gen 3 Intakes, FI Carbon Fiber exhaust, and HFCs and picked up 24HP at the wheels. I believe a tune with the Cobb would have helped quite a bit more as the car was running a little on the lean side. Both the intakes and the exhaust sound awesome....the FI without the HFCs will not be very loud at all, but will have a nice low and exotic sound to it.

I have the Intakes and exhaust (the HFCs are already spoken for) for sale if you are interested. My car is almost finished having the GTM TT kit put on it so I don't need the Intakes anymore, and I'm upgrading to a 3" exhaust to mate up to the 3" down pipes. PM me if you are interested. Enjoy your new ride!

When you lower the car with springs and keep everything else unchanged, you screw up the suspension and driveshaft angles. I did that on my first Mustang and wished I didn't a year later. I'll never just drop springs in a car and call it a day again. It's not that simple.
