Question 2006 Mustang GT... finished with mods, what do you guys think?

Here it is, i am finally happy, i think!

It now has the stance that i want, the sound , the handling and the go!

I may still put stripes on, some of you will remember that i have played around on this forum before with various size stripes by using masking tape but i still haven't decided.

What do you guys think, give me your honest opinions (i wont listen)

Looking really sharp ratster. What's the emblem over the GT emblem on your fender? And also, what size tires are you running? Those are Eagles, yes?

the emblem is not an emblem but side turn signals like BMW have, i will be taking the car to Europe and it is legislation that you have them.
The Zoomers seem great, there is just a little more noise at idle but when you hit the gas it positively growls, i would say between magnaflows and magnapaks.
It is loud but not too loud as to get on your nerves.
there is some drone at 1500-1600 rpm(55-60) but as with other axlebacks some sound insulation should cure that.as for looks the pipes look fab

As in registering the car in Europe? I'm in Germany but in the Military, so I don't have to follow German specs, just safety regulations, i.e., brakes, shocks, rust, etc. You're going to love driving her on the Autobahn's...:thumbsup

NICE!!! I really like your wheel color and choice.
Your exhaust tips are simular to what I have in mind for mine... More black and just a hint "accent " of chrome... Stripes painted on would definitly look good!

Enjoy your ride!

Do you think you gained any horsepower with the Zoomers? I guess that is kind of a loaded question since everyone hopes they gain something. I ask because the Zoomer people have all kinds of dyno graphs on their website showing big horsepower gains for every system they offer, though I haven't found anyone on any other forum who actually dynoed their own car.

i don't know about HP gain, i did not get her dyno'd before changing the axle backs or after, i will get her dyno'd at some point as for the blackout panel?
i again cannot make my mind up.
i like to take my time with these decisions like the wheel color, i liked the stock bullit wheel color but it was too close to the tungsten body color and after some deliberation i decided to go body color with the new bullits.
I will say also for those who want to go bigger with the wheels, i had 17" bullits with lowered suspension and changing to 18" has made a dramatic change to ride, i am amazed how much firmer the ride is with just this change, i don't think i would want to go any bigger

Nice ride ratster looks nice and sharp, it is amazing how much better these cars look with the right spring kit and wheel combo. And I agree with everyone else you should post a sound bite of your Zoomers.
