So far the Mods:
Cut off the mufflers and resonators and all the piping right after the cat and ran straight pipe, K&N Filter lots more to come though!

I use to own a 1989 GT and a 1992 LX both the 5.0 Mine were reliable. I don't know what your talking about?
Very nice choice!

the 5.0 where and still are one of fords most reliable engines, they are in the explorer and have served in them and mustangs well. They are prolly the most trouble free engines I have delt with. Also the mustangs back than had a crap 6 and a 2.3 I4 in them which may have been the ones that this guy thinks makes them less dependable. Pretty much all Ford V8 are pretty solid in the past 15 years.I use to own a 1989 GT and a 1992 LX both the 5.0 Mine were reliable. I don't know what your talking about?![]()
Agree with what was stated above, except the 2.3l is bullet proof. 2.3l motors with over 200k on the original bottom end are not a rare site.
Back to the original post. Congrats on the new purchase. Not exactly sure why you decided to eliminate the mufflers and run straight pipe from the stock cats. You really won't see much of any gains from this and I can only imagine how horrible it sounds. Ditch the stock cat h-pipe for either an off-road pipe or high-flow cats...then slap on a proper aftermarket mandrel bent exhaust. You'll see some nice gains and the car will sound like a proper Mustang.

ummmm yeah whatever
stock cats are still restricting there boss. another mustang owner with a obnoxiously loud car. instead of doing the steeda right now....do the flowmasters and high flow cats. dont do a cobb job on a car like that.
