rpenna Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I pulled her out of storage 2 weeks ago when the temperature hit 50-60 here. It had rained for a week so all the salt had been washed away. I enjoyed a couple days of driving, including one with the top down. Well, it snowed again and they salted (again), so now she's stuck in the garage for another 2 weeks. I got impatient so I ordered the C&L intake + 93 octane tuner package from brenspeed. Hopefully I should see those this week. I'm looking to go the same route as Ruf, with exhaust / cams / intake, etc eventually. Soooo, what do you guys think my next puchase should be? Preferably something bolt on, I'm feeling Bassani axlebacks. Help me spend some more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Try mustangexhaust.com - I know they have the regular Bassanis (like Tony now has) - but I'm not about my SS Race's. But - I love mine! :hyper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpenna Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hmm, I haven't popped into the 100 page rufthread in awhile, you switched to the Racers? Any particular reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 No reason - just wanted to try something with a bit more rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpenna Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 How's the drone on the racers compared to the regular? I've been researching exhausts and I'm now paranoid about ticking the wife off when she drives it. I have a manual with the 3.55 gears. I like the sound of bassani's but am also looking at the frpp/borlas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I haven't had any other aftermarket exhaust - so I can't compare noise levels while cruising. If I have the windows up - there's just a slight hum. I love them - your wife may not. With no disrespect, I didn't ask my wife about what exhaust I should buy. She don't like it - don't ride! It's my car. By the way - she loves it! Especially up over 4,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moabman Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have the aggressive FRPP/Borlas and I love them. They do drone a little @ 1700 RPM but thats too low to worry about. They really "burble" when you get off the throttle and growl when you get on it. They have the Ford Racing logo embossed and I'm using that as a theme throughout the car. BTW the drone is more noticeable with the top up. You won't even notice it on normal acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpenna Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Thanks for the info guys, I have some more time to ponder it since we just got another 6" of snow this morning. Ruf, technically the car is "ours", since we both drive it as our third vehicle. She loves the car, so I meet her halfway on certain things. She did indulge my idea to get a 3rd car that only gets driven 6 months out of the year, so I'm willing to work with her on stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpenna Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 CAI and Brenspeed 93 tune installed yesterday. Holy cow it's like driving a different car. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face when I'd punch it at 80 and be doing 100 in no time. I can't remember the last time going 100 felt so slow. I was a little nervous the wife would not like the more aggressive response. Her words were, "I don't notice a difference." I said, Hmm, time for cams! Bassani Race axle backs will be here Tuesday. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
