[QUOTE="Driver72, post: 9835221, member: 105832"] Most of the intakes will be similiar. You'll get an open element filter with larger piping and heat shield. So go with one that has a good reputation, is well built and looks good. As for exhausts, it's mostly about sound. If you want maximum power you look at "off road" exhausts which are catless and therefore illegal (and for the environmentalists also unfriendly and more destructive to mother earth and all those you share her with). I think a few are getting 15-20 hp from that. If you want good sound but also increased power, look at high flow cat exhausts. Will still pick up some power (probably 10-12 hp) but also have good sound and be more earth friendly. For those who want to be as clean as stock but still get some power gains and better sound, just get a catback exhaust that leaves the stock cats in place. Might get 5-8 hp out of it but get the sound you want. Lastly, if you don't give a rat's arse about increasing the power just want a more aggressive sound, get an axle back (basically mufflers). You MAY still get 1-3 hp out of it if the mufflers are freer flowing, but mainly it's just simply for more aggressive sound. I personally have always like the sound of Borla's catback exhausts. They usually pretty much keep a very similar sound to stock just a bit deeper/aggressive and a bit louder, but nothing overly drastic. I hear the Borla exhaust of the 2011 will be ready by end of summer. I'm hoping for 10 hp with no tuning (maybe 15 with tuning and more when combined with intake) as well as some weight reduction. Their prices are usually very good (see the prices for the 2010 Mustang GT for reference) and they've been around a long time and have a good rep. All things I like in a company. [/QUOTE]
