thinking of a 2013 combo. - The Mustang Source

nickt916 · 1/17/12, 4:29 AM

have been thinking on a combo set up for the 5.0 that ill hopefully have when it comes out.

2013 Base GT model
Grey
Recaro seats
non leather Boss steering wheel
red wilwood calipers and drilled slotted rotors all around
RTR 19s
275-35 245-40
boss front bumper with lip (unless boss lip would work with GT front)
satin black bottom skirts (like on 2011-12 models)
satin black tail panel (maybe remove the GT cap badge if possible)
2013 GT500 rear bumper with defuser
2013 GT500 quad exhaust mufflers
2013 Shelby spoiler

what do you guys thinking, opinions, advice? ill try to photo shop some things later if i have time.
lower the car a bit

Why wouldn't you put 275's all around? The RTR wheels are 19x9.5. A 245 tire doesn't make sense for that.

By all means get the Ford Motorsport Boss 302 quad exhaust. Otherwise, sounds like you have quite the plan.

i thought the RTR wheels are 9.5 rear and 8.5 front? won't 9.5 all around make it harder to handle or the fronts will stick out to much or something?

the 2013 boss doesn't have the quad just dual, gt500 quad looks pretty mean and i think it will sound much better than the stock 5.0 exhaust or maybe any other aftermarket exhaust for the 5.0.

i was thinking to also maybe do a boss intake on the 5.0 but not sure how much drama that is just yet, might be an easy swap for few exhaust HP

RTR 9.5" all around. It will be even with the rears. Also, boss does have a quad exhaust duals in the rear and them two for the side pipes.

whats the reasoning for the cross drilled & slotted? Looks? Or are you tracking?

It's an easy swap. Yes, you'll gain HP. The one thing you should know is that unless you're going to be running at 7,000RPM or higher most of the time, you'll never get 100% out of the intake.

Do a search or go to fords website. The pipes come out under the sides and you can't see it unless you look under the car.

i gotcha, so the dual is visible and the other pair is not visible, I'm loving the shelby GT500 quad exhaust look over the dual, thats why i wanted to do the swap, mainly for the meaner look, and different from any other mustangs
