what should i do first
what should i do first
im buying a 1998 gt with 55k miles. completely stock, ill have like 1000 dollars extra. what should i do first? gears, headers back exhaust what?
personally i would do an exhaust first, that is what makes a mustang fun to drive. plus it is the most expensive bolt on parts.
you can get MAC Hts coated long tube headers for $350 brand new from www.brenspeed.com, a prochamber or H/X-pipe for $200 at www.rpmoutlet.com, and a cat-back from www.completeexhaust.com for around $320 shipped if you call them.
that will net you a nasty sounding exhuats and you could install the cat-back yourself. then use the last couple hundred to have the headers installed.
but you could always go with everyother bolt-on and have a quiet sounding mustang. or just find a used off road-h pipe then weld in a set of cheap flowmasters and have a $200 exhaust and buy lots of other bolt-ons. its all just personaly preferance to what you want.
gears are an option but it will cost you around $500 for the entire install and gear.

I am with mustangman98 - there realy is no better sounding car than the exhaust note of a mustang done right. Granted you're not gonna go a whole helluva lot faster, but the fun factor is going way up. I would then save a little coin and spray it for those occasions when cobras and ls1's come calling.
first off i would not have bought a 98 GT, i would have spent the extra 2k and gotten a 99+ GT with PI heads and stronger motor....just my opinion...but i would def do gears...gears,gears,gears....exhaust, gears, and spray that bitch
