Yep on my first Mustang (2000 GT) I blew 3rd once and ordered a B&M the next day. Ever since then the day I got a Mustang the first thing I did was order a shifter. My GT500 is the 1st one I've kept this long without changing the shifter. I've got a Ford Racing one sitting in my garage waiting to be installed when my clutch TSB gets done.

I've also heard a lot of good things about MGW shifter.
Exhaust wise.....go to you tube and check exhaust sound clips,or go here....

Some worry about the quality,myself i go for the sound.I don't daily drive my GT,so it doesn't see snow,and sees no rain,unless i get caught in it,so i don't i don't worry about the quality as much as some,but i do care about the fit.
Right now my GT has the Bassani catted X pipe with 2 1/2 dynomax flowtubes with 2 1/2 Flowmaster 40s "originals" followed by 2 1/2 dynomax tailpipes.I love the sound personally.
wow i never knew that there would be a whole site just on exhaust for mustangs but thx i really like the magnaflows and the flowmaster so far the bassani is so awesome just expensive thx for the help. i have heard the the b&m shifter is nice just have to see what the wallet can afford.

Take your time,and don't rush to buy parts just to have "per say" parts.If you want a paticular part,take your time,and get them when you can.Took me 8 years to get my GT where it is so far,and it isn't even close to being done.
As for the Bassani x pipe,it is worth every dollar.Out of all the X pipes with cats i researched on the net,the Bassani came on top compared to the rest real world comments on many sites for the quality for it's cats (which was my main,and biggest concern),along with the rest of the mid pipes design,and fit,and finish.

I agree completely with all of this. Been working on my for 4 years so far.
I have Bassani catted X-pipe and axle backs. Great fit, finish and sound. Pricey but worth every penny for me.

IMO Magnaflow sounds much better on a 4.6 2v than a 5.4 so if you were considering them I wouldn't worry too much.

On my 05gt I found the Flowmasters to have a very deep muscle car sound. With the magna's on my 5.4 it just does not have that sound. I guess I could have just x2 chadstangs reply lol
