Default Newbie - 2003 GT Guidance... - 10-25-2006 , 09:38 PM






I have finally joined the Stang Club, I'm an Ex-Camaro nut. I have no idea
why I waited so long to switch over!

I picked up bone stock 5 speed with 40kms. I would like more sound out of
the exhaust. It was recommended by someone to add a professional intake
system with a catback exhaust system.

It should produce some decent HP with lots of ump...

Having said that, you guys are experts....any thoughts or other
recommendations?

Also, just a side note, this car has the Mach 1000 Audio System and holy
crap, its nuts! From what I'm told, the Mach 1000 was an optional upgrade
that the original owner must have paid extra for when he ordered it from
Ford....Can anyone please confirm or deny this???? I have no idea...

Thanks,

Din

put a blower on it. (I like Keene Bell, lots of low end tork)

Just putting intake/heads will help at high RPM for racing but not help for
street driving, or low end torque.

exaust mods do not do much for HP add 2 to3 mabey,
I prefer to remain stealth than wake up the neighbors at night.

How fast do you want to go and how much do you want to spend? All I had on
my '01 was 4.10 gears, exhaust and a cold-air intake and it ran pretty good.
13.65 @ 102.3 with the traction control on. The car broke all the time
though.
