Nah, I was going to but realized the C clamps were rusted pretty badly and I'd likely break the bolts if I tried to loosen them to do a temporary fix with silicon gasket maker, so I need to order some new clamps.

I may just order new clamps and stick the H pipe back on for a change up in the sound, then buy a new X pipe after the winter. I love the way the X sounds, though.

I can't remember if our mid pipes are 2.5" or 3" diameter.

Would probably sound pretty good I'm sure.

m4a1mustang · 10-24-2011, 10:01 PM

Hmmm 2.75"

I think I actually prefer the stock tone to the gt500...and definitely like the rolled tip.

wtf happened to roush pricing though? went from like $370 to $500

They finally adjusted the prices to reflect your transition from the 370Z to the 5.00x10^2

damn, if you wanna keep rocking pzeros this is a pretty solid deal

Mustang OEM Wheel and Tire, for 19-inch Brembo Brake GT (Take Off)

m4a1mustang · 10-24-2011, 10:14 PM

That is a great deal.

Red__Zed · 10-24-2011, 10:17 PM

if you can sell your stock rims for anything or need winter rims, hard to argue with.

Lemers · 10-24-2011, 11:11 PM

Buy 1 for a spare.

Red__Zed · 10-24-2011, 11:13 PM

i'm actually toying with that idea in case of a flat.

The problem with that is that it won't fit in the spare tub, even with the tire deflated.

I just barely managed to fit one of my winter wheels (245/45/18 on a 18x9 wheel) into the tub deflated, but it makes the trunk liner sit up about 2" or so higher than normal. There is a thread on AFM (I think) where some people put together a spare package with the help of Discount Tire Direct. I think they used an 18x8 or 18x7.5 Drag wheel with a 205 width tire that fit perfectly in the tub.

Keep in mind with the Brembo car you are also going to have to get yourself a scissor jack as they don't come with one.

Not even for in the car, just at home. I doubt anyone has any stock 255 pzeros down here.
