hello from new member
 
hey everybody, new stang banger here. after a gruesome 4 year search and wait , i've finally got me one. stock, 5.0l 94 GT, 107,000m, but a rock solid pony that I LOVE!!. i've got big plans for her, namely a transformation into a 94 Bullitt Mustang GT. since she is a dark forrest Green. Has anybody done a side pipe set up on a 5.0? i've seen them on the mod 4.6 saleens and steedas but never on a 302 and was wondering if anybody was runnin this set up?

Hi, OhNO50!!!! heheheh..,. love the name!!!
SRV...shame on YOU!!!! I have a '94!!!! :rolleyes: hahah
I LOVE MY SIDE EXAUHST!!!!!
I had the 2 chamber Flows w/ the off road H-Pipe(which I still have!)
I ordered the Side exausht(SP?????) system from Tommy Vaughn in Houston. It comes with the unfinished side skirts and the Borla exausht...(how the hell do you spell exaust?) someone break out the Websters Dictionary PLEEEEZE.. THAT BUGS ME!.

The whole kit runs about $700 if I remember right.(no paint or installation)
I had mine custom painted w/ graphics . (which btw Chuck Coupland did an AWESOME job!!) I still have the H-pipe. Had Deer Park Muffler intall the Borlas. The skirts HAVE to go on first!! For fitting purposes!!! Steve Scarbrough from Custom Everything! installed my painted skirts before I took her to DP Muffler. Had them all welded together. This is the way to go. You dont wanna just clamp them on!! I did not use my clamps!
The first time I drove her out....IT WAS AWESOME.... everyone talks about how good the Flows sound, and I agree, BUT...I have LOVED MY EXAUST!!!! Its quieter at an idle, but when you get on it it sounds AWESOME... I think it runs better.....(its probably only in my head.....)
My gas mileage sucks. but it did anyways, so i'm not concerned. Ive got a few pics I can post for you if you llike ..... Just make sure you take it to someone that knows what they are doing. NOT EVERYONE knows how to install the skirts as I found out. I wasted 3 hours at a shop that was referred to me and they had NO CLUE!!!!!!! I would reccomend going somewhere for your skirt installation that deals w/ ground effects and custom body work. not a Joe Blow body shop, Its too expensive of a project to be jacked up!!!!! I was soooo stressed out about this.... I WAS ACTUALLY HAVING TO TELL THEM HOW TO PUT THE SKIRTS ON...thats when I knew it was time to find another place. Thank God when I packed up my parts and went to the muffler shop, they referred me to C.E.
I have had absolutely NO PROBLEM on speed bumps and inclines which surprised me!!!! But I am still careful, because looks are decieving... Although there were 2 curbs that my passenger side did not see and i backed over them and cracked my skirt around where the tips come out. Its not really THAT visible...although, I KNOW its there, and it peeled off some paint. Im hoping to get it repaired w/ in the next month. or so..... BTW: I'm not TOO FAR BEHIND YOU .....I've just turned over 98,300!!!!!!! But shes running better than ever!!! I've had to replace ALOT in the past 8 months, but w/ that hopefully shes got many, many more miles to go!!!!! I'll go ahead and post some pics of the stages... i dont know how to do more than one at a time. so it will be a few posts..

Do it, you WONT be sorry!!!!!!!! Good luck and if you have any questions...feel free to ask!!!!
:D and welcome to MUSTANG WORKS!!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT HERE!!!! :cool: These guys and gurls are GREAT!!!!!
