The tires done rub at all

As far as 10" wide rim, yes you could do it. heck, if BFG made a 275/55/18 I would have those

BTW, thanks for the props on the Stang

Summary

Performance: Unless the tune helps me out - I can tell that I have lost power, especially torque. I am assuming this is because of back pressure. I will update everyone after the tune this weekend.

Sound: Sound is very odd. It has a deep rumble, with some almost trumpet like sounds. I do like the sound - very similar to a 98-04 Cobra, S/C sound. I will have to get used t othe sound difference. Also, the tune may help as well with the sound. I will update everyone after the tune this weekend.

i'm glad the extensions worked out, i'm going to call the shop i'm getting the work done at saturday to let them know. i wonder why you lost horsepower, i would have that you would have just stayed the same? are you using the cats on your car? or did you put on the offroad legs? i guess we'll find out when you put it on the dyno saturday.

i'll probably chat with you about it a little more later. and i'm looking forward to hearing your exhaust setup.

The problem i'm having is trying to find a drag radial thats fat like your bfg's.

Nitto has a 305/45/18 drag radial which is 28" tall with a 5" side wall, but it is 12" wide. I think it's for trucks. When i use a tire calculator the specs are like your tires, except they are 12" wide instead of 10".

that sounds a bit too wide. Unless they are tucked under.

Now, my car is lowered 1 3/4 " so, they 12" might fit, but migh trub on T/O.

it deffinatly has a unique note. it's like a franken-xhaust. built from the parts of lesser exhausts.

Yes and no

Yes I like it, but the x-pipe has kinda like a tuned trumpet sound as the lower RPM's. I am hoing a tune will help the power band and the sound. I guess I got used to just the Cat-Backs.

Now, after having it for 2 days, I can say , I love it. Lets jsut see how the power changes are before i give the last sumamry

i'm having mine done at houston performance.

oh...btw...in reagard to the extensions. my exhaust didn't require it, but i have a standard, bryan has an auto. so that may be the reason. always good to have them for the install just in case though.
