Mercers in Georgetown , I have used them before but they cant do custom stuff for sure!!! Everyone says North Gate is much better or Hoyts in Conway , hind sight is 20/20 I guess.

Did you get this taken care of?

Yeah I got my new x-pipe in and made my own cutout setup. Fits and works great, I located the cutouts in a nice area next to the x-pipe section. Only one problem , I hate the way it sounds.... when the exhaust was just open behind the x-pipe it sounds killer but with the cutouts open before the x it sounds like a truck or something . So I closed off the cutouts and ran 2 6 inch round stainless maganflows right behind the x-pipe and boy does it sound good now. It knocked off enough loudness so the cops wont lock me up but still sounds like a European supercar , it def doesn't sound like a mustang. The kind of sound that attaches your smile to the gas pedal.

Going in today to get pricing on a coyote and some other things... May be getting a PM in the future

 

[GallopingFord]

OP, are you planning to go to a power steering rack in the future? I love this swap but do not want to put a manual steering rack in a modern car.

Still deciding if I want to go with this swap or just build a N/A 3V. Don't need another FI'd car.

I'm waiting for someone to do a good write up and then I'm doing the same thing.

If you don't mind share with us what kind of prices you find.

 

[BLKBULLITT]

yup will do ill be getting that info this afternoon

 

[Phansm72]

I have a write up , halfway written up , I just dont have much time when I finally get to sit down at the pc , I get a few minutes and then its crash time. If you guys have ANY questions feel free to PM me or call me (843) 2418789 ( Im Paul), glad to help any way I can. Im pretty happy with my manual rack ,mainly since its not a daily driver , I can see it getting tiresome if you DD it but for a weekend cruiser it adds the "racecar" feel. Switching to the EPAS rack would be my other choice. GOPRO is fully charged lol , Ill shoot some footage Saturday.

$6900 coyote motor
$8500 forged bottom end coyote motor

About another 2k or so for power steering rack and alternator...

Not cheap at all

Prob look at $12,000 or so

Well that's a little better. Still you would think they would have come down a little bet more.
