I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you:
Don't care about putting the car back to stock EVER
Will be super careful with your measuring and welding
Don't need to lower the seat much below stock
Understand that you will still get an airbag warning light without other work
In my case I used the Sparco Mustang base with no slider. With my seat there is no height available for the slider and I also had to modify the base to make it lower at the back.
Less tall Sparco seats will work with the Sparco slider.
Will be at Gingerman tonight for Test-n-Tune evening.
Missed the event on the 16th as I was still on my way back from the West Coast. (7,000+ mile road trip).
The film of oil on, for example, a camshaft lobe does indeed get thinner as time goes by. After 6 days it is still sufficient to protect the surface upon startup but after 4-6 months that protection is far less. If it were just one startup after that length of time you will likely be OK but...
It all depends on the price I suppose but the 19+ cars have the engine that doesn't wolf down oil plus the improved chassis setup, coolers, etc. If the price were similar between this car "new" and a <20,000 mile 19 with service history I would go with the 19 all day long.
Sitting unused...
No one that I have seen has been able to prove that any other X-pipe shows a significant power gain over the OEM one. The "merging" type are simpler (cheaper) to manufacture in moderate numbers though, which likely explains their popularity along with the fact that they look like they would...
Bear in mind that after 4 years the engine and any other moving parts will likely be significantly compromised. You would do waaay better IMO to buy a used 2019 or 2020.
There are cameras everywhere these days. My advice is assume that everything you do outside your house is being recorded. Act accordingly and you won't have to worry about a dash cam.
You may want to search for my original post with pics etc. as I discuss the fact that it sounds (to me) pretty bad when the exhaust is closed and stupid loud when open - on the road. If I was going to mostly use this car on the road I would have left it alone but this is my track toy.
Kooks all the way to the rear mufflers except for the added resonators.
Most engine failures with these Gen2 cars seem to be dropped valves which is not something they are likely to blame on a tune that is effectively a slight tweak.
There aren't many good comparisons so I thought that I would post this.
The 1st car is a stock GT350, the red one is mine - Kooks long tube headers, off-road downpipes & X-pipe plus 18" x 4" round resonators and OEM mufflers.
I posted this on the GT350 Forum:
LETS GET TOGETHER instead of talking about it!
I will be at 4 Winds Casino South Bend, next Saturday 24th from 4:00pm-6:00pm on the TOP FLOOR of their parking garage if anyone cares to join me.
I will buy dinner at any of the restaurants in the casino for up...
