The difference is very minimal. Disappointing.
Usually thoes borla exhausts make a huge difference.

No thanks, I didn't want everyone thinking I was driving a Cavalier.

Sounds better, but not great IMO. Was it a full cat back or just the mufflers? That might explain it; doing mufflers only is kinda pointless to me, but to each his own

Nice.
Now you just need a hi-flo cat, headers, and new piping.

I'd love to race one of those GTO's/Cavaliers, but I never see one because no ones buying them around here. It was just mufflers...the factory pipes are 2.5" mandrel-bent, stainless steel - it wouldn't do much better to change them, Muscular Mustangs and Fast Fords did a test and got very little HP gain...seems like the factory did a good job already. I changed them mainly cause the tail pipes looked so cheap and too small for the bumper openings..plus Horsepower TV added some Flowmasters to an '05 and got about 6HP...these are even more free flowing than that, so I'm sure I got a few more horsies.

I've run out of money for mods ...for now
I've never been a huge fan of the styling, but I don't think its horrible. The weight is pretty high, but with 400HP and a lot more on tap with mods I wouldn't complain But then again I'd pick a Camaro over a 'stang too. I drove a stock 02 (?) GT and then a 00(?) Z28 right after it. Wowsers. However I do recognize that Mustangs are better balanced than Camaro's, its just too bad the stock suspension (at least pre-05) suckedOriginally posted by: Theguynextdoor
Yeah the 05 GTO's are pretty badass. However their weight is what kills them really. I love the newer more aggressive design of the 05's. BTW with a few more decent mods (a new cam, intake, valvetrain) will put you pretty close to the an 04 GTO. But except the intake most will void your warranty.

What kind of setup did Fast Ford use for the piping? Also, headers is where is at. Any other stuff you plan on doing to it? BTW I noticed your garage was a tight fit. Where are you located?
