Hey Folks.

Bought a Black 2004 Mustang GT auto 40th Ann edition about 3 months ago.

I freakin love it.

Just popped my modification cherry this morning! I know a lot of you out there dont like the whole straight pipe thing, but i do. I know it really doesent offer any improvement in performance, and i know some people consider it a redneck exhaust system, but damnit I like it an im keepin it!

Fom where the pipes come down from the manifold and level out to head straight back was cut, and it was also cut where the pipes bend up to go over the rear axle. That portion was removed and replaced by 3in xpipe, then the exhaust tips were cut off and replaced with 3 1/2in chrome tips. The place i went to manufacturers thier own exhaust systems, so there is no name brand attached it is total custom work. Very very inexpencive as well, but highly reccommended in denver.

It drones pretty good though on the highway though. The only drawback ive seen so far.

I was thinking of lining the the doors, the floors beneath the carpet and the entire interior of the trunk with Dynomat. A real pain in the ass, but im thinking it might reduce that droning. Has anyone done this? Im sure it will cut down on road noise, hopefully the droning as well. I'd rather live with the droning if i had to, opposed to getting mufflers put on it.

Has anyone given this a shot?

Also, im looking at ordering a K&N 57-2519-3 Cold Air Intake Kit. Anybody reccommend another type of intake for about the same price? (under 200)

Thanks folks.

Looking forward to talking with all you mustang gurus.
