GEEEEZE guys!

I was being smart...We have other plans for the sidepipes for the future. I just have to order another factory H pipe and side pipe assembly first and that's not in the budget right now!

We were going to install test pipes with the factory H pipe, but I didn't want to modify any parts of the factory exhaust...so this is what we are doing for now. When the FRPP electric cut outs are available, Phase II of the exhaust begins

I would think they would be drooling to get their hands on the Boss ASAP

This thread is worse than my first girlfriend thus far. No happy endings there, either...

Besides i am sure they wouldn't want the bad press of one of their first production "Halo" car having piston slap from the factory and not being covered...

I had a bad clutch in my 2010 GT500. I had it looked at by a third party and confirmed an issue with the pressure plate. The car was under 1 year and 12k which normally would be covered by Ford since it's a wear item. Ford used my mods as the excuse for denying warranty coverage. Even though the clutch is rated for 800HP by their OEM manufacturer and I wasn’t even pushing anywhere close to that with a pulley swap. So even when it’s a bad part from the factory you give them an easy out when you mod the car. People can talk about the Mag-moss warranty act all they want. The bottom line in the real word it’s up to you to prove it wasn’t your fault which is extremely difficult. The only guy I knew that had success was a lawyer who made Ford buy back his 2011 GT500 for the 1-2 shift grind. They don't care about your "bad press".

I'm just saying be cautious and quite honestly you should have a deal worked out with Evo that they pickup the bill if something goes wrong since you're basically being a test dummy.
