You don't want to become a donorcycle.
Unfortunately there are many idiots/D-bags on two wheels giving bad name to the majority of the biker community.

I'm in the same boat as J .. never been on a motorcycle and never will.
I have a hard enough time people seeing me in the S2000 .. let alone a bike.

J - Probably best to stay off one, especially now with the little one counting on you! Leave the stupidity and YOLO lifestyle to the single morons like me with no dependents.
Nist - Amen.
Tyler - You've got a wedding/engagement to plan! Stay off the bikes! Haha
Flip - CBR?!

Flip, I'm with the wifey. Stay your ass off the bikes then. But feel free to purchase one in full and send it down to SD for me to enjoy anytime.
Mod bug's kicking in strong again.. I'm thinking it's about time to pick up a set of long tube headers and a cat-back to scratch the itch and fall in love with this V8 again.

Awesome. Nothing like a nice sound to renew the love. Good choice with the Corsa. Looking forward to the vids

Wait! Before you do that can you post a video of what she sounds like?
Hey, I'm getting up there too.. I've got like 7 grey hairs now. Lol
Threw the Corsa on yesterday and at first I thought it was quieter than my muffler delete because I literally couldn't hear anything from inside the car. Then, I attended a meet in Mexico and let someone else rev it and holy hell.. Louder than the Vettes, GTR's and Subies! Videos don't accurately portray just how loud this thing is. I'm almost nervous about ordering my cat deletes.. But, I want that extra powah.

Thank you, sir! Wait till the cat deletes come in. Between those and my flex-Fuel tune, I should pick up another 25-40whp and a bit more of an exotic note. The Corsa definitely made the car sound like less of a muscle car and gave it more of a high pitched noise and with a little rasp which I looooove.
After the performance mods listed above, I'll be waiting and saving for boost which should be a year or realistically, two years down the line. Gonna be aiming for about 700whp on pump gas and a conservative tune.
Thank you!! Hope you cleaned up afterwards hahaha.
Thanks bro, followed back.

The cat deletes will give it that deep tone you hear from far like your inside the engine (long tube headers will amplify that). Your mustang sounds great though D and its only going to get better ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Did you run that Z06? That would have been some blower motivation after that

From what I was told, cat deletes and long tubes will produce the same noise on this platform and *almost* the same amount of power. I do have some buyer's remorse and feel like I shorted myself by buying cat deletes instead of long tubes, but when I check the numbers, the long tubes just don't make sense.
Option #1 - Long Tube Headers
1) Price: $779 - $1,250.
2) Labor: $600 minimum and 99% of the shops in SD flat out refuse to do the job. The shops that would do it quoted me anywhere from $600-$1,200. Forget that.
3) Total price: $1,379 - $2,450 for a 20-30whp gain and I'll have to pay for labor again in a few years time when smog comes around.
4) Price to Gain ratio: $45.96/1whp (best case scenario).
Option #2 - Cat Deletes
1) Price: I paid $413.24 for the cat deletes and an optional flange to weld onto the the stock manifold so removing and installing the cats becomes a bolt-on matter.
2) Labor: I can't see this costing me more than $100 just for someone to cut and weld one side and then bolt a 3" straight pipe up to the other.
4) Total price: <$520. At minium, I'll save ~$870 and still gain a solid 15-20whp.
5) Price to Gain ratio: $26.00/1whp (best case scenario).
Volume, like I said earlier, should be the same between the two since deleting the cat is what will make the most noticeable difference.

I like those calculations....hp/dollar.
I spent $2500 on my headers/X-pipe installed 3 years ago. It was definitely expensive, but gave 40 whp/tq at the time. Given your in CA, I would just skip more exhaust work that's going to be a hassle and go straight for the Paxton SC.
