Thanks.
I almost got the Drifts but I've always been a big fan of gunmetal rims.
Let me take this oppertunity to whore out my 04 Cobra from a few years back. I sold it just before buying the 5.0

I took advantage of the awesome weather were having today and did alot of progress on the car.

First started by swapping the rims on and then installed the Borla S type axleback.

Fitted the new no drill front plate bracket.

I wouldnt get an orx, unless you plan on getting a tune anyways. Car looks great and sounds good too. I really like those wheels.

I'll be taking it to Lidio's in the spring anyway after a JLT CAI and custom tune

IMO I would just get the axleback. The drivers side over the axle pipe is crush bent a little bad but it's somewhat of a tight area and have a feeling with bigger over the axle tubes you might get some hiring and running untill it's adjusted a few times but someone else who's done it can chime in on that

Sorry to hear you had some trouble with the Borlas, I've heard mixed reviews in regards to the Catback system.

Thanks!
I haven't had any issues with them. I'm totaly happy, just undecided weather I still want to go with an off road X or not
