Thanks for the longer "to do list" Rocketman! The GT will be getting a Stillen Clutch installed next week. Can't wait to see how it performs at VIR...along with CF Aero Kit and another surprise!

BTW - a few other 'safety' recommendations...especially if you're racing...
1. Halon Fire Suppression - available through Shadowman or Cooltech (slightly different designs)
2. Safecraft Fire Extinguisher - mount available for passenger seat bracket or tunnel mount

I put a transbreather kit on which eliminates gearbox oil coming out of the breather for the gearbox. Looks cool and also keeps engine oil free.

roketman or anyone else: In addition to the Stillen splash guards, how about the Stillen longer diffusers and front air splitter? ANyone have experience with them? I kinda like the way they look.

Here is a picture of the Stillen diffusers fitted with the Accufab exhaust; this was before the GT Guy Vintage exhaust system was installed.
IMHO it looks better with the GT Guy system, I like it.
Also have the Stillen front splitter, but have not installed it as of yet, still working on how to reinforce it so as not to have excessive deflection at speed.
Hope this is of some help.

I'm interested in some of the diffusers (either Stillen or OEM)... Been trying X2 and they say they have none...

Cantwell's Stillen front splitter came off at high speed and he drove over it. Make sure they are attached very firmly.

For all the new owners, welcome to the greatest forum, for the greatest car ever to be built. And for you owners of the 05/06 beauties, make sure you get your replacement power steering hose. Only available from Rich Roback (me) or Rich Brooks (GT Garage). They are going fast and once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Rocketman, you suggested replacing the stock muffler because of weight and being too quiet (I agree about being too quiet)! Looking for recommendations for replacement for a medium to loud muffler? Ballpark cost? THANKS!

I just installed Accufab x pipes on 2 GTs a week ago. The sound is fantastic without being obnoxious. I think they are north of $1,800 now . Installation costs depends on who does it.

Rich Brooks installed an Accufab X-pipe on my Quick Silver in October. I was concerned about it possibly being too loud, waking up the neighborhood, possibly drone. Neither, not at all. The sound level is perfect to me. Sounds the way a car like this should sound. It was around $1,800 but I don't recall install $.
