FRPP puts out more HP but Im not a huge fan of the sound. Its kinda growing on me tho. Power over sound?

Don't you have a v6 mustang? An exhaust is a complete waste of money for that.

How about you put that money towards tires/leather suit/trackdays/etc....?

Better yet, send it to me so I can buy a set of trackday wheels

Oh wait...this is for a 6 banger ? Yep I might just save my $$ as well.

On my Mustang when I owned one I had Flowmaster and loved it. I have Borla on my Vette and Corsa on my boat and both sound pretty mean to me and most everyone else that's commented on it.

Ok between the two choices...humm....JBA I guess but it's really a toss up imho.

Nope gives more bottom end. That and the supercharger will give me 150hp or so depending on the tune. Plus the dyno tune, 8.8 rear end, 4.10 gears, and intercooler can get me 360+hp The bike is getting kinda boring anyways, i havent ridden it in about a week

ya know, not trying to kill the bike thing for you, but I have found you can really only have one true love at a time, its either the bike or the car...

my entire life I wanted a jeep wrangler and a GT mustang...

had the jeep, bought a bike, forgot the Jeep...got the car (thru odd circumstances I admit), lost the jeep and still find myself only truly in love with my bike. The car has its moments, I love the rumble of her engine, and the way she moves, but in regards to fixing up one or the other...my bike will be taking precedence...the car is a way to get somewhere, the bike is an adventure in itself...

all this prompted by your comment that the bike has "gotten boring"...if you arent having fun on a 250...maybe you should just give it up and stick to the car and save your money for the car...just 2 cents...

Yeah thats what Im thinking about doing. It was fun for a while but now its getting old ,and to admit, scary. I got it out on the highway the other day and never got it over 45. I love to cruise around town on it but once I hit a certain speed...it scares the crap out of me. I have been torn between my car and a bike ever since I got it and now I just dont know which way to go.

Truthfully, the bike is being sold in the near future 1) for college and 2) for car parts. No doubt I will end up having a bike in the future but right now I just dont know. I want to start trail riding more now cus that is my true two wheel fix i think. I hate to say it but sportbikes just arent cutting it at this point in time.

well, i think its pretty awesome you can admit it and not allow ego to get in the way. SB's arent for everyone, and if you honestly feel that way, stick to what you love, dont try to push yourself into something, you either love it or hate it and if ya hate it, well, find other loves.

We'll give ya a lil shit cuz we like ya, but respect the decision nonetheless. Your ass better not plan on going anywhere however!

I agree with you Rae.
My poor Cutlass definatly gets neglected, but the bike is just more fun. No way will I get rid of it, since it's a classic and all... but it just doesn't get much love.
