Thumbs up Made my first MOD today !!!

Just put flowmaster American Thunder exhaust #17410 on my 2005 GT. Much deeper and meaner sound. Now if I can just find the moving red LED light to put on the front I can crank up my Kight Rider soundtrack and make all the little ricers jealous.

Congrats! The Flowmasters do sound nice. I ran a set for awhile but they didn't mix well with my headers.

Ill be the first one to admit that I dont know much about cars, I dont even know how to change the blinker fluid or muffler barings. But buying this car has definitely inspired me to learn.

Sounds like you're well on your way to full-fledged mod sickness

Jealous is an interesting choice of words. Dude, you're doomed. here is why. this is how your life is going to change; mods are going to become a monthly expense like rent or school loans only much more important. You are going to spend most of your free time looking at catalogs or shopping the net trying to figure out what bills you can defer payment on because an intake system is a ''must have''. Rent can wait. what are they going to do....evict you. Your girl friend or wife will be excited with you/for you for a while. Its a phase. It will pass. She will soon feel the car ''coming between you'' and begin to hate the car. You'll be like ''leave the car out of this'' She'll be like ''you never want to spend time together anymore'' and you'll be like ''we can spend time together in the car. come on, it'll be great''.
Now, nothing like this ever happened to me of course.......I'm just saying, it probably will go down something like that.

Im not sure if you are joking or not but Ill assume you are not for the moment. I was joking about the knight rider mod, yes it would be fun but is illegal in the state im in (yes virginia is all about fun). I dont really plan on doing many more mods on my car, thank you for the advice but I think im safe.
