I put longtubes on my 02 GT and while yes they sounded great the HP N/A just wasnt worth the cost of tubes and install...At least with the new edge mustangs you have to drop the k-member to install longtubes which if you pay someone to do it can get pricey...My kooks longtubes and midpipe were $2200 if memory serves me correct and took me 7 hours to install on a lift lol

It's just weighing the pros and cons, I totally understand where you're coming from

This is what I have seen myself
X-pipe + CAI = 18rwhp/14rwtq - $600
CAI + Tune = 22rwhp/31rwtq - $739.99
Longtubes = 29.55rwhp/23.85rwtq - $700 + Install | Quote:

update: drove Marilyn 3rd time now this week... love those Borlas. Meeting some guys for lunch so we can all talk cars. They're all curious to hear the pipes.

Pure awesomeness with the new exhaust and your paint. There is just something about Kona Blue when its cared for. 
Should've started drifting around the clock tower though.
