Thanks for telling us about all your trials and tribulations. Whipple "should" be embarrassed by their screw-up! And it damages their reputation to see their 'underwear' shown in public. But they don't care (for now) when so many orders are backed up.

but

I was blessed! The Whipple install on my '19 Bullitt went like a dream. After waiting 16 weeks for delivery, I dropped off the car at Dale Adams Automotive (Shelby builder in Calgary, AB) on Monday. 4 days later, we ran the dyno when I picked the car up, I hit the gas driving away and "Holy Sh*t". It works like a charm and I haven't had one complaint. The installer has done about 50 of these Whipple/Mustang installs and maybe that's the difference?

except

I love the blower so much that I have been thinking of a GT500 as a replacement (wifey only allows (grudgingly) one boyz toyz car at a time). But, most car dealers don't want to do a trade for an aftermarket blower car, even if it is professionally installed by a Shelby certified shop. A few dealers even said that I should take the car back to original before they would consider taking it as a trade. And one dealer said that my $12K USD 'investment' was only worth $4K added value to a stock 'stang.

I have found one specialty car dealer in my area that has valued the blower add-on at $9K and he does have a mint '09 GT500KR that he will do a straight across trade for my '19 blown Bullitt. Now, should I or shouldn't I???

WOW congrats looks great cant wait to hear the feedback on the whipple. You got some big balls lowering it lol splitter is superlow as is but I am sure you will get use to it.
Congrats, good to see you're able to drive it home
Thank you all - I didnt realize it would be that low. I would not call it the way you do, more like a bit ignorant of the height.

James did a good job. Car looks great. Disappointed in Whipple. I’m doing a custom twin turbo setup on mine.
Thank you and yes he did. Please do a build thread so we can follow your progress also :)

In all a professional got beyond the issues I had and made everything work. He made me feel like he was working on his own car, which was a huge blessing. Keep the Bullitt
