Ok I'll keep watch for the Guards then...thanks for the info. The Borla exhausts sound so good!!! Top of the line in quality, if you go with those I'd love to hear how they sound! ...I settled on Magnaflow Magnapacks for my 5.0 & I love them! Also one of the better quality manufacturers...I took my cats off & run a BBK offroad H pipe & boy do they get LOUD when I go WOT....yet they cruise very nicely & I can hold a conversation easily & they are a perfect rumble at idle. Borla Stingers were what I was looking at but were a bit too pricey at the time. Keep us posted on your progress, please.
I am using the Deep Dish Bullitt Rims in gloss Black & polished edges & like them very much. Lots of folks tell me they are too common & to use something else...but there is a REASON they are so popular!! They look great IMO!
I am running the 17" inch rims at 9" wide up front & 10.5" in the rear.I put 2.75 x 40 x 17" on the front & 3.15 x35 x 17" on the rear
Here are three pics showing my progress so far... A Jack Roush Tribute ...
