yeah but I may not tune...it is not like I actually need the power

m4a1mustang · 09-18-2011, 08:46 PM

Good point.

Red__Zed · 09-18-2011, 08:50 PM

though it looks like the tune opens up even more torque down low

m4a1mustang · 09-18-2011, 08:55 PM

Yeah, it does. It's a huge difference... we're talking 30-40 whp gains with the Steeda CAI and a tune.

ugh so tough to decide

m4a1mustang · 09-18-2011, 08:58 PM

Don't rush it. I'd get your mufflers first.

Red__Zed · 09-18-2011, 09:07 PM

yeah, trying to decide on those as well. I like the sound of the setup you have, but I don't wanna drop $600 on mufflers

Look at the Roush axle back. There's a guy in my girlfriend's apt complex with a 5.0 and the Roush AB and it sounds really good!

Magnaflow muffler deletes... less than $300, Pypes also makes a set for less than $250 on americanmuscle. Cold start will wake the neighbors, tame at idle (you can turn the idle up with the SCT tuner), melts faces at full throttle. BTW, get the tune man, the TQ gain down low and the mid to high range hp are ludicrous. According to Chris Young at AM, the JLT/Airrade provide the biggest gains of all the CAI's. I was at my current HP level with just the intake/h-pipe, decided not to go with an x because they are MEGA raspy, moreso than my Stillen/Berk combo on my Z.

I don't wanna wake up my neighbors though.

They are a little raspy.

Guess you're just going to have to pony up for the good shiite!

Red__Zed · 09-18-2011, 09:27 PM

i just can't swallow 600-800 for an axleback

m4a1mustang · 09-18-2011, 09:29 PM

That's what she said.

Wait then and try to pick up a used one, or buy the full catback. Or just get the GT500 mufflers.

The GT500s sound really good, and if you want them louder you can have the resonators cut out.

Red__Zed · 09-18-2011, 09:31 PM

ugh. I'm just gonna steal yours.
