I,Patstang, have an '06 GT with the shaker intake. A Mustang enthusiast in Sheboygan, WI, has the 62mm GMS throttle body and the GMS CAI with MAF sensor. He did not have to re-flash.
I like the cool factor of the shaker, but, want the GMS parts. Can I route the shaker air flow into the GMS "box" rather than just leave it uncoupled under the hood. Also, with said mods, does the Ford X-pipe do any better than the factory H-pipe?

Thanks

Yes you can & it's fairly easy.

Here are the parts you'll need. Find them at Pepboys.

Thanks, STL. WHAT ABOUT THE x-PIPE?

[stlwagon]

Does the X just replace the H aft of the cats or is it an offroad X? Do you have a link?

[hotshot]

my take on the factory H versus factory X is just a difference in the tone of the exhaust. One is more "throatier" and the other has more of a "rumble". Or something along those lines.

Yes... But an X-pipe catted or uncatted will always yield a few more HP because it does a far better job of balancing the exhaust gasses.

I try... But it's tough keeping up with the Jonses

[Patstang]

Thanks much ! I want hi-flow cats as well, probably the frpp (?) X-pipe. Sorry not back to thank you sooner.

Hey Guys this is my first post on this forum. I own a 2005 Black Gt Vert. So here is my question : If you get extra hp by using an x pipe rather than an h pipe. Why wouldn't the developers at ford take this into consideration and make an x pipe a stock option?

Because Ford also looks at emissions and sound when developing the exhaust. Performance is not the first consideration.
