Luckily I don't plan on anything major. Stereo, exhaust (CBE only), spacers, tint, and I'm done. This a DD so I don't want to "over mod" it. I did that with my previous Z (well, I chose the wrong exhaust) and with my 5.0 (went YOLO on suspension).

The Z isn't any more expensive to mod than the Mustang, either. I think the Invidia CBE is only $100 more expensive than the mufflers for my 5.0.

are you referring to when you said the Fast Intentions was a bit too loud for you on a daily basis?

It wasn't too loud, in fact it sounded perfect outside of the car, but the drone was no bueno for me on a daily driver. I've been very careful since to chose exhausts that DO NOT drone. That's why I will likely be going with the Invidia this time, but for now I'm just going to leave the car alone.

Hmm, i wonder if there are any differences between 2009 and 2010. I can't say the drone is present too much for me. The worst I ever notice it is if I'm in 5th gear going about 40 mph and try to speed up to 45 or 50 without down shifting..then there is quite a bit of it.

But also Z is my weekend toy with occasional "bring your car to work day "

Ividia is good as well though (and cheaper)

Having BTDT I'm confident I'll keep myself under control.

No drop? you need to do some springs to minimize that gap.

No drop. The gap is fine (to me). No way will lowering work on a DD around here anyways.

And in the shots that matter (track, ZDayZ) when the suspension is doing work... It looks perfect!
