Thanks. I want a smoother more exotic sound. My Firebird has a smoother sound, but its a Y to I to Dual Outlet Muffler setup (stock) instead of the Mustang's True Duals.

Also, Pro Cal installed today. I'm going easy the first couple days though (trying at least).

I installed a set of these on front. Couldn't handle the brake dust anymore from the stock pads. If I get any better braking performance with these, then that's a bonus in my book. While I was at it I cleaned the insides of the rims and rotated them.

Nice. The stock pads dust so bad! I just cleaned them Saturday and they're filthy already. I don't even brake much, I mostly downshift to slow the car

Stopping distance will be compromised. Just FYI.

Really? I would have thought it would slightly improve if not remain the same.

Do these hawk pads have less brake dust in the first place? Won't ceramic dust more???

How about sound? I'll take dust over squeal any day.

Ah, yes they are. But these would be silver. Gotta mix it up!

According to the reviews I've read, these pads give of significantly less dust than the stock (Brembo) ones. Also, none of the reviews mentioned anything about them squealing or being any noisier. I guess we'll see.

I was doing a lot of extra downshifting as well to help stay off the brakes. After about 3 days of driving I was getting the urge to clean the wheels because of that darn dust.

The brake dust is driving me nuts as well, but I'm looking at the StopTech Street Performance pads. I don't know about Ford's Brembo applications, but when comparing Subaru STI Brembo's, the stopping power is near identical, but they dust WAY less than the stock pads. I would assume Ford's Brembo's use a similar OE grade pad material.

Added the Roush lower grill delete today. What a pain, but in the end, I think my son will enjoy the transformation.

$1200 for Corsa Extreme?

I paid $647 delivered for Corsa Sport from Maryland Speed. And the Extreme were the same price.

Corsa Sport: $647.32
http://marylandspeed.com/corsa-sport...16-p-3025.html

Corsa Extreme: $647.32
http://marylandspeed.com/corsa-xtrem...17-p-3026.html

Even Full MSRP is $945. Where did you pay $1200? Did you get the Dual-Dual Tips with rear valance? (I don't remember if that is still available or if that was a different brand.)

Even if you include the X-Pipe ($287.70), you'll be at $935.02, which is still a good bit under $1200.

Corsa X-Pipe: $287.70
http://marylandspeed.com/corsa-xo-pi...18-p-3027.html

It would take adding shorty headers to get that price,
like these BBK Ceramic coated for $446.69
http://marylandspeed.com/bbk-shorty-...20-p-4341.html
Chrome ones are about $114 cheaper at $332.49
http://marylandspeed.com/bbk-shorty-...32-p-4340.html

Which rounds out to: $1267.51 or $1381.71 (depending on which shorty headers) ..... I think I just gave away future mods..... on that topic, anyone think this x-pipe and shorty-headers will induce drone? I have no drone now with the Corsa Sport.
