[QUOTE="doublex, post: 6991803, member: 30498"] I think the point is being missed here. The issue was that an image of the underside of a production KR was pulled from TeamShelby for no apparent reason. Allegedly, in that image someone could read the part numbers from the exhaust components... :shrug: So, if the purchase of the same exhaust system would devalue production KR's...then the whole model of the Shelby dynasty doesn't hold any water. I.e. if all I have to do is buy a S/C 5.4 from FRPP, then I have a Shelby GT500...then cool...but I don't think it works that way. Put that engine in a Focus...might be neat, but I don't think it devalues GT500's because you claim you have a "Shelby Focus" for example. Likewise, we can all purchase FRPP CAI's and short shifters and nobody at SAI seems to care. I can see why SAI would care about who gets the GT500KR stripes, or the badges...but everything else should be for sale just like any part (including their own SS and GT parts for example) Also, if SAI was so concerned about cloning, why then do they allow folks to buy every part for our GT500's, Shelby GT's, SS's right from their site and/or Ford direct? My theory is that they are under a crunch to build these units, and they can't afford to have the demand for the exhaust/hoods/wheels/whatever go way up before they are done. Once they are built, the parts will become available. They have done this with every other car they sell...so why would they change just for this one? Back to topic...I like how the KR sounds. We will most likely find out it's just some combination of stuff from FRPP/JBA/Borla/? and no big deal. I'll wait until someone figures it out then I'll pick it the set. Either with SAI's endorsement or without. [/QUOTE]
