2011 GT Pics- anyone selling cat backs or X pipes yet?

I think I need an X pipe to start with and then a cat back. They will make me happy until my gear swap to 3.55s.

Why go from 3.31 to 3.55. I can't imagine that makes a huge difference. Go for 3.73!

From all the research on here many people seem to feel the 3.55 may be the best gear for the quarter mile? Im not opposed to 3.73 gears and once I have the exhaust done, gears will be my next mod.

I agree with you. I would go with the 3.73. Going from the 2.73 to the 3.31 gear ratio on my V-6 feels normal, the 3.31 gearing should be standard.

I feel, you won't notice a thing going from the 3.31 to 3.55 ratio, and won't be worth the cost. Just my opinion.

Yup, 3.31 to 3.55 swap is a waste of money, barely any change at all.

Magnaflow is selling cat back exhaust an x-pipes.
You can go to their site for information.
I have already ordered a x-pipe and exhaust.
Do a search and look at other forums.
You can save a few hundred dollars by being a member of certain forums and buying them online from Magnaflow retailers.
I saved over $350 on the sale price on a web site by being a forum member.
Also don't let the prices on Magnaflow's web site scare you that is suggested retail you can get them for 30 to 40 % less than the price listed.

Is your car Ingot Silver Metallic? I hope so because I think it looks awesome. I've got a CS in that color on order and was concerned having not seen that color on a Mustang. Now that I've seen it (hopefully), I'm hooked.

Did you order the car or by it from dealer stock ?

If you ordered it you would have saved money by just buying either the 3.55 or 3.73 option.

LOL 4.10s you guys rock!! I actually bought it from a dealer in Alabama, they had it and I wanted it bad enough to drive almost 500 miles to get it. The car is Ingot Silver and I love it- the metallic flake really pops!

Magnaflow makes very good and high quality exhaust systems. I had one on the Dodge i traded in for my V-6 Mustang. If they try to make an exhaust system for a certain car and the 'Dyno' numbers don't show a worth while improvement, Magnaflow 'won't produce an exhaust system for that car'.

The only draw back 'in my opinion', Magnaflow's are a little on the quiet side as far as performance exhaust sound levels go.

While I dig black the GT in silver looks very cool. I had a silver '96 Z28 my kids called the silver bullet. Nice car.

You're on the forum... There is a guy that posted exhaust videos and sells them. He's working on other exhaust accounts too.
