[QUOTE="Chas, post: 3248996, member: 19979"] Since your in California I would skip the mid pipe to avoid any problems and just get a Flowmaster catback if he wants it to rumble. I would also be very concerned about the stock Mach 1 pistons at that HP level and 91 octane gas. They are not a forged piston and will not stand up to any detonation. I think that is an answer to your mod questions. Now, I have to say there is a learning curve to driving high HP MUSTANGS and it doesn't start anywhere near 475 HP. I had more fun driving the two Mustang GTs I've had then I do in the Cobra. It has about 450 HP and it scares me and I have 20+ years of driving experience. I would get him an 04 or an 06GT it will be easier on gas (more money for beer), have a warrenty, less HP = safer, be more reliable and is still a great car to give him as a gift. Please don't dismiss others concerns for your sons safety. [/QUOTE]
