Yea, since my car is an auto, Ford only offers all/season tires, atleast the other 19inch wheel cars have a summer tire option.

If it were 100% my money, I would have went with the Comp Series Catback system, those axelback have almost no muffler at all, maybe that would help and the xpipe we used was not offroad.


Ya those stockers are HEAVY. Suprised the heck out of me when we pulled mine last weekend. My wife wishes I went with the street type muffler instead of the competitions lol "its to noisy". I told her just be glad I didnt get the muffler delete

+1 on seeing some non vendor dynos on full exhaust. If im not going to see 25+ I might spend my 2000 on carbon fiber hood and deck lid and save myself some$ for other things.

Cool video Brandon, real nice sound under full throttle. Could you take one at idle. I still haven't decided on which brand to use and to go with x or h pipe. thx for sharing.

Follow-up Track Testing Update

Well, I went back to Irwindale after last week's stock 1/8th mile run and seems we have improved slightly.
My best stock run was 8.672@84.17.

Today, I was only able to make one pass, 8.449@84.12 and then I was alerted that anyone running under 8.5 must wear a helmet.

I'll be back next Thursday but we might be running with a CAI and tune.
