so, i spent $135 at the junkyard yesterday

i needed a pedal assy from a sn95 mustang to finish my dash swap, and ran across a place that had them. ( http://www.car-part.com ) he said he had them, and it was $75. a little steep, but oh well. i walk out back to look at the cars, and the 1st thing i notice is an 03/04 cobra front bumper. it happened to be a gt, but it had shorty headers, bbk o/r x, and a magnaflow catback. this car washiznit HARD in the rear, so the tails were . i asked the owner how much he wanted for the lers, and he said make an offer. i offered $50 and he said OK!

cliffnotes.... paid too much for 5 speed pedals at a junkyard, but then buy a polished stainless magnaflow catback (sans tails) for $50! :D

ill get pics when my batteries for the camera charge.

they're the same, but you have to extend the flow tubes a few inches.

I've got Magnaflows on my 87 and they are nice. They sound great!

That Magnaflow stuff more than makes up for the pedal price. Nice score!
