Finally got around to the new exhaust, air box and shifter install thank to the fantastic guys at Blue Power here in Melbourne.
Di Filippo cutback sounds fantastic, so deep, no rasp, no drone, just what I wanted. This and the Blue Power air box has made the car much more responsive. I can feel the extra power.
The MGW shifter (+ flat stick) is completely different to the stock shifter that I actually didn't mind. I was in two minds about doing this and after about 50km's I'm glad I did. It's so precise and along with
the Steeda clutch pedal spring and the C J PP clutch pedal extension I have a mustang that is now a great manual driving experience.

Hi Nong, +1 for the guys at Bluepower. I have been running their cold air intake and Difillipo catback and MGW shifter for 2years. It looks like we also have the same taste in steering wheels.

I didn't even know they made a flat stick for the Mustang. Most people have regular i think, and probably like me didn't even know it was an option.

Is it much different realistically other than the look?

Hi Hornet, It's cosmetic only.
I ordered the race spec shifter with a standard handle as George from MGW said it's the smoothest if your not going to track/race the car,
I then removed the handle from the shifter assembly and replaced it with the flat stick, the handles looked about the same length.

Did you install the shifter yourself? Just wondering how big of a job it is to install one?

Hi David, Blue Power installed it and it took them a few hours. I am fairly handy however I wouldn't do this.

Installation isn't hard, just restricted space to work in. Did mine on jack stands would be a lot easier if you had access to a hoist.. A set of ratcheting ring spanners will be your best friend.

Daved_XB, this link to Mgw install is very helpful. It is all I used to do my install.
