Yes!! You will benefit from it now. The gt muffler flows way better than the stock v6 muffler.

Looks awesome! I like the 4.0 emblem. I'm thinking of getting them for the front fenders, like the old 5.0s(I had a '92). Also, what do you think of this on the trunk lid?

Thanks Jimp. I had a 93 5.0 as well, and the emblems definitely took me back. I think on our black cars they really stand out, especially that red dot between the 4 and the 0. I would get them!

As for the LX, I actually think it would look cool. It will be very unique, and on a black car, I think that emblem will kick hiney. I would love to see the look on peoples face when you go duals, and have that LX emblem on your decklid trying to figure out if it was a special edition stang or what not.

Please do... After that, grab a cold one and a lawn chair, and go outside and sit next to your car and soak up alittle sunshine!! The car looks real nice!!

You and Jimp both have really nice Black 05 V6's!! I would seriously love to see you do that 2 stage nitrous deal... The kits are available...

Launch at 125 Shot, and finish with a 175 Shot... That would be really awsome!! If you can imagine Scrming's car having 384Ft lbs with the 100 shot, there is no doubt that during the last 1/8th of the run, you would be crossing the traps with well over 450 ft. lbs of torque.. That is insane... Please consider it..
Hmm, I will definitely look into it. My plan thus far is 55HP shot and Mikes turbo. Excessive is really keen to do a turbo onstall on this car. But what you describe sounds like a monster, I would need head, cam and piston work, maybe even the drive shaft. But can you imagine the 1/4 time on a setup like that!!!!

Now, on the 4.0 emblem. I looked at it and got out the ruler. I like the placement, so it will stay where it is. However, the 0 is just a tad too high, 1mm off, so I will heat it up and level it out.

Thanks everyone for your compliments. I am now officially done with the exterior, with exception to tinting the windows.

Now back to my performance project.

Ok, project finished. I like the placment, so they will stay there. However, I was exactly 1mm off on the 0 in 4.0. So, 90 seconds with the wifes hair dryer and bingo, problem solved. Car is not as shiny and clean in this pic, but you should get the idea:





Later.

You've done a lot to your car that I would like to do to mine. I've almost bought some pony emblems yesterday, but I was worried about how hard are they to install and get lined up. Can you tell me how you did yours or is there a post on here that describes it. The ones I was going to order didn't come with directions.

Car looks great by the way!

Thanks. TJ06 gave me the measurement on the pony emblems. Here is the post he gave me on them:

Rygn

Drivers side very top of my emblem "4- 3/4 from the mid crease of the front fender, tail of the pony "3-1/2 from the front fender jam that meets the front door drivers side.
