what year stang?

 

[daturbosix]

either way, Deans performance is probably where you wanna go.

 

[Mook]

Deans in St Charles for top notch work. He has a dyno but Kurgan usually does his remote tunes. I'm sure you could use the dyno with whomever is tuning.

 

[jfitts23]

Its a 03 cobra
I need to get my longtubes and xpipe isntalled. and would like a new tune.

 

[Mook]

Well, Hans definitely knows his way around terminators.

 

[daturbosix]

indeed he does.

 

[jfitts23]

hes about hour and half away. He has some nice cars on his site.

 

[Mook]

He usually gets super slammed during winter so you might want to call over (better in the afternoon) and see what his schedule is looking like.

Hans @ Deans Performance. He's worked on my car and does a great job. You'll have to call him multiple times though as he's usually busy working in the shop.

I have used Kurgan before, GREAT work, just not really that social.

 

[jfitts23]

yea i'll give them a call sometime. just trying to now to see what all shop that are out there. headers and xipe install should be easy with most shops but i want my tune to be super on. would i need to change my fuel system to run a race full tune than a pump gass tune.

 

[Mook]

Long tubes on cobras arent exactly straight forward. And usually the gains arent really worth the pain in the ass.

Whats your setup now? Are you planning a big power build?

 

[jfitts23]

the long tubes and catted x xip i already have. i bought them just incase i have to get a emission test sometime plus its a little loud for me. we move a lot so emissions i have to be on top of. THere mac long tubes with lethal performance catted x pipe. not must power mods done to the car. port port supercharger with 2.76 pulley. stock lower. just about every kenny brown suspension mod done to it. Gordsford Heat Exchanger w/ fans. SCT Big Air Mass Air Meter BA3000 and heat exchanger with fans. the rest just kenny brown suspension stuff. clutches and etc.. nothing crazy. i think it was dynoed 46o rwhp.

 

[Mook]

so the long tubes ARE on the car? You dont need long tubes to pass emissions. Fords are getting harder to pass emissions tho, especially when you turn off various systems in the tune.

I'm a bit confused

 

[jfitts23]

my end goal will be a 2.9 or 3.4 whipple with 700rwhp. long goal mind you. exhaust just to get down and move over to other thing for ahwhile.

 

[jfitts23]

i just have them in the box. and xpipe

 

[Mook]

I made 600rwhp on my old 04...not a whole lot of parts to get there either.

2.3 whipple
60lb injectors
boost a pump
accufab single blade tb

Misc minor stuff obviously. I still think long tubes arent worth it for your power goals, and are definite overkill.

[MENTION=6593]blck10th[/MENTION], maybe you can chime in.

 

[IZZy]

Honestly I wouldn't even bother putting them on, there is plenty of twin screw terminators making close to 700hp with stock manifolds

 

[jfitts23]

i already have them now. i was hoping installiation will run about 500 then i'll go ahead and get them put on. it barley gets driven so not in a big rush.

 

[Mook]

I would sell them and save yourself the money.

 

[jfitts23]

I would sell them and save yourself the money.

why do that. should be a quick noise adjustment exhaust on mustang is usually a first for me because they sound great. . legal now. shouldn't cost must to put on. plus there weren't expensive to by in the first place.

 

[Mook]

Long tubes arent straightforward on cobras and you're not gonna see much gains. If you're just worried about sound, try a few different catback setups.

Not sure where the legal concern keeps coming in.

 

[jfitts23]

i have does done already. there good to go.

 

[jfitts23]

so whats the average price to install longtubes and xpipe?
