What a major pain in the a$$ this was., For as much as I paid for these items this should be a direct bolt on application, not spend 5-6 hrs trimming and drilling, and fabricating this damn crud to work..

This friday I finally received the "Last Piece" of the BMR puzzle, so I decided it was time to install my plethora of parts that had been stacking up for the past 3 weeks or so.. :pepper:
Here's a ton of pics showing what was done and I thank god I had my friend frank rodriguez (Bacadiesel) to help me do this as this wasn't a job for a rookie on jackstands IMO.. having a lift made this much easier to do, and no way would've I attempted to do this without one.
Parts to be installed where:
1) ARH longtube header /w O/R X pipe ( they should just call this the "Demon coming outta hell pipe")
2) BMR K member
3) BMR tubular A-Arms
4) BMR A-Arms support brace
5) BMR radiator support chassis brace
Enjoy the pics..

Ok my first thoughts of the ARH longtubes with the O/R x-pipe along with the Borla Stinger catback was WOW!! It toally sounds like a "Pissed off Demon" bashing down the gates of hell to come wreck havoc upon earth.. Roflmwao.. Extremely loud but still refined and has absolutely the best sound I've ever heard on a mustang before in person.
Video of the first time I started the vehicle after the header install.. Camera was kinda close to the videocamera so it kinda distorted the sound a little but you can get the point it's f-in' loud!!

My thoughts on the suspension was it was definatly worth the coin spent!! It handles like a dream now, no more floating in the corners, you point it and it goes! It feels soo much more tighter and less bouncy, their is absolutely no harshness involved with doing the BMR K member along with the strange adjustable struts!! (set to the street setting)
Now the only drawback is their is a tiny bit of vibration in the floorboard and steering wheel, but I could honestly care less the benefits way outweigh the tiny bit of vibration. Besides this is going to be a racecar not a Cadillac.
Stay tuned for more Boost is coming..
