I am going to be getting this setup on my 2012 5.0 , 6M 3.73...


Stainless works 1 7/8 LT Headers with off road x pipe and catbacks.

C and L CAI and custom Livernois Dyno tune


$3,599 Installed.

Is this a good setup? What would you change?


Thanks!

 

Drop the C&L and get the JLT.

 

I would probably go with the JLT and a catted midpipe. Off-road & longtubes would be a bit too loud for me.

 

I was told that there was no difference in HP between the two....and that Id smell gas if I went with the off road..

 

I'm confused. You want to smell gas with the offroad pipe? I've had an off-road mid pipe in all my past Cobra's and GT's but as I got older(36) the smell got a bit old. I was at Starbuck's drive thru about six months ago when the lady told me I was filling up the facility with fumes. My Roush axleback is now plenty loud without drone or fumes. I would love some longtubes but only with cats.

 

Ok, I see. No, I don't want to smell gas BUT if I'll be getting a large enough HP increase then I wouldn't mind LOL.

I think I may go with the catted X pipe since it seems as if there's no performance difference between the two.

Thanks for your input.

 

Over the last several years this is what I have read as well. Especially since you will have high flow cats rather than the stockers.

I can't wait to hear it! Have you seen this video yet?

Yeah, I've seen it!! It sounds amazing!

I just ordered the full stainless works with catted x pipe! My appointment for my free install is on the 6th.... FREE INSTALL ON MUSTANGS FOR APRIL!

I'm about to order a Steeda CAI and tune from Steeda! I can install that myself...

Exhaust : $2,556
Steeda CAI and Tune: $750
Total $3,306

How much of a HP gain do you think I'll have total?
Ive seen guys with similar mods report a 430HP to the wheels...Isn't that just under 500 tothe crank?

Thanks for your help! LOL

 

There isnt going to be a real difference in power between the JLT and the C&L, if you already have the C&L just stick with it.

 

I decided to go with the Steeda CAI and tune. I just placed the order... I can't find my processor code so I have to call back with it when I find it...

 

Pop the hood, on the front left side of the engine compartment is the ECU. It is just to the right of a black fuse box. On the side of the PCM that faces the fuse box there is a white sticker. Get your eyes in there close and look towards the bottom of the sticker. The PCM code will be at the bottom. It is 3 letters and 1 number, the last digit is always the number. For examble (abc1, cba2)

 

I just took a picture of the sticker ... I'll post it in a sec.

 

Removed picture....

 

This is what you should expect with that combo...

You should be around 425RWHP and 395RWTQ (Dyno video ^^^^^^). You are going to love this exhaust, that exhaust video is mine!

But of course a dyno is just a tuning tool and not the is all end all. Every dyno will read different

 

Ok, I just called Steeda and gave them the code... The tunes for the 2012's will be ready in 5-6 days.

 

Intervention,

YOUR CAR SOUNDS AMAZING!!

I showed that video to everyone and decided to get this setup based on your video!


Thanks for sharing.

Can you listen to the radio while driving? LOL

 

You will see for yourself when you get it installed...

I'm telling you below 2000rpm is pretty quiet, but see for yourself man.

Either way, youre going to love it. The end

 

Great! Can't wait! Can I drive it without a tune til theyre available?

 

Any trouble from the police? LOL

 

You should be all set... But you'll most likely get a CEL

And (knock on wood) no trouble from the cops so far
