Lowered the 5.0...

[Rreemo]

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.

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?

Moar pics. Did you use wheel spacers?

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.

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

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!

[Skidmark]

Can you take another picture? The shadows are making it appear weird.

[Rick Modena]

[mustangguy289]

Looks good!

I want to lower mine bad with the Steeda Sport springs.... and they are on sale right now too!

Thats my son, he took it for a drive so I could hear the new mufflers.

He looks small, is he driving age?

[talisman]

Matt will offer to have his son fight Henrys son in 5...4...3...

[Rafa]

just so you all know...Henry did help......................

[Rick Modena]

He looks small, is he driving age?

Hes about to be 19 and is 5'9. Its probably the seat, he knows not to mess wth my levels, I have dem like I like dem.

Matt will offer to have his son fight Henrys son in 5...4...3...

haha! I hope not, my son has a yellow arm band from Saekson Janjiras Muay Thai gym, it would be a mistake on Matts part, unless his son needs to be taught some respect like the road trip home from fishing.

Fuck you guys and fuck your 5.0's!!



<--- is jealous and hating lol

[46Tbird]

Car looks great Henry. Now talk Rob into lowering his! He will actually listen to you.

The GT500s don't add any HP but they sound so good they make you want to drive it harder. Gas mileage will suffer, lol.

I think they sound good enough and are quiet enough that they should have been the OEM muffler for these cars.

[A_A_G]

Looks good, but I'm always against lowering springs only. Dampers + springs at the same time is the way to go.

Dont see you owning a new 5.0

Check the white text I want to get a new 5.0, but I really don't want to sell the mach.
