If the desire to get your hands on a
spanking-new '05 Mustang GT is
strong stuff, rest assured the need to
fit some trinkets to it will be at
least as powerful. We had hardly
returned home from the SEMA show-
which roughly corresponded to the
new Mustang's debut-when the Inter-

gears and exhaust systems they had already installed on them.
At the magazine we're no different. No sooner had we driven the new Mustang than we were ready to try some parts on it. The trick at this early date was finding parts ready to go, and while we talked up the usual suspects for throttle bodies, headers, and such, in the end, MagnaFlow was at the starting line with an after-cat exhaust system, |

and K&N had a replacement panel air filter, but that was all we could lay our hands on in a hurry.
We also needed a car to strap to the dyno rollers, and it turned out we found that at MagnaFlow as well. One of the company's customers, Kevin Trump, was ready to try an after-cat exhaust, and so it all came together at Magna-Flow's well-equipped Test Center in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. |
