@V8Venom That sounds great! I am also running SP O/R headers with the AWE touring, and I am ocassionally getting a bit of a flat, blatty rasp in the midrange that I don't hear in any of your videos. Did you add anything else to your setup? Additional resonators or anything?

Nothing else man. I really do not ever hear any raspiness in the exhaust ever. How long have you had the exhaust installed for?

Only new update I have for the car is I had some custom airbrush work done by MadMic for under the hood. Figured it was fitting. :thumbsup:

The engine bay looks awesome!

Thats weird. It has been on about 3 weeks now, and it didn't seem to be settling down at all so I actually had some bottle resonators put in where the cats would have been. It sounds excellent now 99% of the time and when it does get a little bit nasty it is much much more tolerable.

Which resonators did you put on? Can you send the link here or in my PM? I would love to tone the sound down on start up just a bit. I am also nervous it will make the car sound different as I really love how deep it is.

It's funny you say that cause I just found out about that site two days ago but yeah they're in the plans. Diode is coming out with their own so I may wait, just not sure yet.
Absolutely fascinating journey my man, thank you for sharing in such detail - added ya to Insta as well.

Your car looks SO sick and inspires me about what I can do with my shadow black baby. I’ve new to the muscle community having switched over from the dark side of AMG.

Noticed that you’re from N’awlins but also know a lot of people in the community - do you happen to know any shops that specialize in Mustangs around Toronto?

Would love to get:
a) the demon eye kit installed
b) lights tinted

But...I need help!

Somehow I completely missed this build thread :crazy:
Excellent work!
How did you find the jump from Gen2 to Gen3 Whipple?

I actually do not know any shops in Toronto. If you want the demon eye kit installed Diode Dynamics now offers a kit that does not require the headlights to be opened. If you want to do their DRL's and Demon Eyes I'd recommend going through Retro Shop in Missouri. They are a Diode dealer and do great work. You can find them on Instagram under @theretroshop and talk to Jeremy. You can send your headlights to him and he will take care of it. Usually a week turn around.

As for tints, check of Big Worm Graphix. That's where I got mine from. Super easy to install yourself.

I did not feel a huge increase even though I know it is a more efficient blower.

Been a while since I updated this thread. Really have not done much with the car except upgraded the interior a little. Had the center and dash done in red carbon fiber.
