Fine by me..... Have you done anything to it yet for mods? It doesn't have to be over the edge, but I would suggest at least a K&N drop in filter. They're about $45.00 or so, but you'll feel a big difference in power and fuel economy. That's where I started, then went to dual exhaust for more power/sound/economy. It was all downhill from there.

Yes, the K&N just goes in place of your current air filter. They are more efficient than the paper ones. You can pick them up at any Advance Auto or Autozone.

As far as a dual exhaust, you really don't need to buy a rear bumper for yours. Most shops will bend the rear pipes to fit under your current bumper. I had my local shop cut off the pipes right after the cat converters and go 2 1/4" back from there. I did not add an h-pipe or anything, but I did use glass pack mufflers instead of flowmaster mufflers. It was a bit cheaper that way, and my Son bought it for me for my birthday present. The tail pipes were actually from a 1995 Mustang GT that fit right over the rear end. They had the turn downs, and the bend towards the ground at the ends without tips. I'm not sure if you can see them in my photos or not, but I may add tips later on.

i'll probebly invest in a drop in filter. but abuot the exhuats and bumper, i'm nto sure what i'm ganna do yet, i'd rather buy a GT bumper, if not, i will probebly go with cut-off exhuast....which basicly won't show my exhaust at all but coverd by my bumper. just be pointed at the ground behind the bumper...but with an actual duel exhaust, not the V6 one, like one from the GT's

I pretty much kept the turndowns because I wasn't sure what to do about tips. Any shop can do what you see in those pictures as far as keeping the exhaust below the rear bumper so you don't have to go out and buy one. Good luck!!!!
