Lowered the 5.0...

[Rick Modena]

I think I need to get some of those mufflers for mine. How much louder are they than stock? I'm really just looking for a little more, but do not want it too loud and especially don't want any drone. I like the prices I've seen on those too.

Also curious....how is the ride with the H&R's?



I lowered mine within the first couple months....around 2500 miles iirc, so I've had some time to look at it, and I've decided that with the stock wheels it does need some spacers on the rear. I have K-springs, though, so mine does sit a little lower, which makes it more obvious.

I've been toying with the idea of some new staggered wheels for it, though.

Trust me when I tell you, I researched the shit out of these mufflers and springs. I like them, there are louder but not annoying, if I want that I go for a cruise in my Cobra. I also picked up some SOTP HP and they do not drone at all, even at hwy speeds.
The springs, I wasn't going to lower my car but these H&Rs (51655) are only 1.0 F - 3/4 R so its not real low and it has a rake to it. With a full tank of gas and my fat ass in it, it looks even though, lol!

Good to know. I'm at 3200 and half that was my New Orleans road trip.

And I also put in pair of 2012 GT500 axle back mufflers. They sound fucking great and it feels like it picked up some ponies too.

Moar pics. Did you use wheel spacers?

Are these like the S197 cars where you need an adjustable panhard bar or your rear wheels wont line up?

You probably won't notice until you get some wide tires out back. That's when I noticed that axle shifted to the left a little. When I had stock rims, I didn't even notice it. You don't even notice it on his car. So I'm pretty sure he won't get one for now.

Edit: This was for my 06', not sure about the new ones.

Not everytime. I didn't need the adjustable bar on mine when I lowered it. Just on a Pro Kit, so only an inch or so. I do have the bar now, but only because HPP made me a deal on the one off Mannys car. Figured some of that speed potential might rub off on my ride! LOL!

tint that bitch! its texas!



why to loud? what exhaust setup you have? lt's, mid pipe?

LOng tubes, off road x and Pypes muffler deletes. Sounds good at WOT and doesn't drone at all, but it's just a little too loud all the time. Been wondering what the GT500's would sound like with my setup.
