the pde uppipe or maybe the turbo xs uppipe for the stock turbo since they maintain close to the 45mm turbo inlet.

I have a helix downpipe and it's basically a super nice piece. I believe it's mad for a bigger turbo but no one knows what the future holds. I might run into some money and upgrade my turbo but i doubt it.

If anything the deadbolt monster TD04 upgrade sounds like a plan.

I went with a company out of Michigan called Godspeed. The owner is Dan and the website is godspeedinc.com. Both the uppipe and downpipe are catless so you will be completely catless. Dan guaranties that his product with not produce any code for CEL. If you buy them together he will probably discount the cost.

I got the Cobb stage 2 for $400 and paired that with a Helix Up and Down pipe combo, plus did the samco hoses. The Helix pieces are gougeous, much better than the Scoobysport piece...

I'd save my change and do them all at the same time....that's what I did and the diff is night and day. Don't short yourself...

The cobb reflash must have made the biggest difference right? I currently have a helix downpipe mated to bosal catback. Normal around town drivablity has improved alot but a low revs it still feels like a 4banger. With the reflash does it start to feel alot better under partial throttle acceleration?

well, appearently my computer can't spell gorgeous..

Yup, it feels totally different...however, don't kid yourself. off boost it'll always feel like a 4 banger cuz it is

I've owned probably ten or so 5.0 mustangs and I currently have a 92 vette LT-1 6 speed and a 94 Lightning with a Vortech S trim blower....the scooby doesn't feel like them, but then again it never will.

The boost comes on quick and hard and it feels like an Evo only faster (which is cool since it's a wagon). And, I'd assume (ya know what happens when you assume...) the reflash made the biggest diff...It feels great under partial throttle, but better with it pinned to the floor. Remeber tho...I've got a REALLY flee flowing exhaust and no cats.

I'm gonna get a G-tech or something similar soon and I'll post the results

Later...
