Gearhead in Dunedin, off Main street. 773 8590 and ask for ED or Leonard.

see what they have in stock and what they recommend for what you plan on or what you already have done to the car.

Dr. Gas or Bassani X pipes are the best in my book.

And i recommend any headers you get that they are ceramic coated. i have had mine for over 2 years and they have not turned colors, or rusted.

Probably the shorty's would be best for you as of now. if you ever go crazy, then get the Long Tubes.

by the way, did you get my PM?

I saw some dyno #'s on a 5.0 that had around 350hp and the shorties performed the best for that application

I definately reccomend ceramic as well if you can afford them, but if you go with shorties make sure you paint them with high heat paint before you put them on, it helps.

the ceramic coated shorties on my car are 10 years old, and just recently started to show rust.

Opinions and preferences will vary drastically but you just can't go wrong with a BBK short or long tube,off road H and a Flowmaster catback.Fit,finish,performance,and exhaust note.Fordspeed has some great prices as well give Joe or Rob a call @ 727-549-8255
