I, Jordan, assume no liability for anything you choose to do to your car, before, or after watching one of my videos, including this one. All DIY repairs, or modifications, you perform to your car are made at your own risk. Sometimes, even if you've done everything the right way, you can destroy, or damage, a piece, or part. You must understand this; part of doing a repair, and/or modification is messing up sometimes. Also, if for some reason, I do give incorrect instructions, and something breaks because you followed my instructions, I still will not reimburse, or pay, in any way, for whatever cost that may be incurred due to following my wrong instructions. Don't do anything to your car unless you yourself feel comfortable, & confident in doing so.

PT Cruiser Custom Exhaust
This is a custom Exhaust tip we made for a PT Cruiser. It's pretty much the greatest Exhaust system of all time.
BTW, to address the endless comments about it from people who don't understand just how fragile an engine ISN'T, there is no way this will hurt the engine. The engine is a spinning mass of iron, aluminum and explosions. The Exhaust apparatus is plastic,latex, and tape. One of these things is stronger than the other.

I used a Gtech Pro to test my quarter mile before and after. Before the Superchip I was doing 14.4 at 103mph, after the Superchip I did 13.8 at 106mph. For each test I did 3 runs and took an average.
In less than 15 minutes and a few hundred bucks, you can add 30 horsepower or more depending on the model year of your Ford Mustang. My Mustang is an upgraded 1999 GT and I had my Superchip custom programmed for all the modifications that I made to my car.
The Superchips unit plugs right into the back of the stock car computer ECU (engine control unit).
*Don't forget to disconnect your car battery for 10 minutes during this upgrade; this will allow the car computer to recalibrate itself. You know that you have done a proper job resetting your computer if when you start your car, you notice that all the gauge needles sweep to the left then back.
If you have any questions, shoot me a comment and thanks for watching.
