Dang, wish I could get that without a tune! Don't want to void the warranty though. I'm going to put on the borla s type cat back for now.

Rice eater, I like that name. Ate me some rice tonight as a matter of fact. Some tricked out Beamer wanted to play, but ended up with Hirt feelings and a bruised ego as he choked on my tire smoke.

ok, I'm falling more in love with my setup. Not sure its breaking in all the way yet, but the tone I've picked up has outweighed the lost bass that I was first not as happy about.

You don't really void the warranty with a tune. Ford has to prove that a part failed due to a modification for it to not be covered. But it's up to you. And nice kill! lol

I did mine when I put the Boss diffuser on. Looks much better imo. No silver metal showing from behind. Hopefully it doesn't all come off next summer when I'm hammering that loud pedal.

Yeah I've actually found out a lot of people plastidip their exhausts for black tips etc. Holds up fine apparently.

I've seen this too. I wasn't too keen on putting this on the exhaust since it's rubber based paint. I went with a high temp spray on mine just to be sure

Yeah I'll try it out and see how it does. If it gets messed up I can always remove it.

I have sprayed six mufflers and two stainless tips with black caliper paint. It cures with the exhaust heat and lasts well. It results in a sort of semi-gloss or semi-flat look, which I prefer to the shiny paints.

added a video to the first one comparing the pype bombs to the gt500 axle back with the bama ghost cam tune installed. i think the pype bombs sound nasty, but i like how clean the gt500s sound.

Car sounds much much better with the GT500'ab's and cammed tune. I think this is what i'm leaning towards but with the o/r h-pipe.

Your car just keeps getting better and better
