I agree totally with your assessment on the wheel hop and quiet exhaust. The Ford Racing "KR" axle back exhaust is rumored to be a really nice sounding exhaust with no drone, I think you made a good choice!
I went with the magna flows because of a great deal from a friend, they are still too quiet but offer next to no drone! (I hate drone) I'm considering the Ford Racing 3.73 gears as a "winter mod" but worried about a proper install. I think I will address the suspension during this off season with the Track Pack Maybe after the suspension I will open the hood, but I'm pretty happy with the power at this point. |

I think they have gotten a little louder but very little I have aproxx 1000kms on them now.

I would like to replace them and do headers, anything to make it meatier sounding. My wife said go ahead but cringes and shakes her head. She thinks its plenty loud enough but what does she know tehehehe

^^^good to hear and thanks

Headers won't make it much louder, but they will make it sound a little more aggressive. The thin walled tubing resonates more than thicker walled tubing or cast manifolds. This will be more noticeable with full length headers. As for mufflers... If you want more sound with NO interior resonance (drone), the best mufflers on the market are Corsas. They are far from cheap, but are very well made, and will likely last the life of the car.

^^^ Never heard Corsas in person.

So the only mod that eliminated the wheel hop was the UCA? I have the same issue and was thinking of changing the UCA too as the first step, then maybe the LCAs next. Are you running stock tires, GY F1?
