UK road trip in my Mustang GT
An epic couple of days in the mountains full of scrambling, struggle, campires and epic roads. It was my first time taking the Mustang to Wales since I bought it back in February. We got lucky and had a spell of dry weather and with it being mid-week the roads were next to empty. It's always fun heading to Snowdonia but this time it was extra special. This car just keeps on giving. Driving the car around these mountain roads reinforces for me the fact that I made the right decison i getting the Mustang with a manual transmission. Any inconveniences faced in stop-start traffic are long forgotten once you get to drive this beast on some windy open mountain roads. The plan was to climb Crib Goch on the first day, and although it did not go to plan, it sure made for a good vlog! After that we spent the following day enjoying the car. I can't wait to go back this year!

Whoever said this car was built for the long and straight roads of the USA has never driven it through a Welsh mountain road. The stone walls provide the perfect stage with the beauitful sound of the Coyote 5.0 coming straight back at you from every angle, with the manual 6-speed gear box engaging you into every twist and bend.

      It does not affect the emissions as the H-pipe is after the emissions part of the exhaust. It passes MOT's no problem. If the noise levels were to be accurately measured it would perhaps become a problem as it is louder than factory, but I can just give them the car with quiet mode on which makes it quieter than factory in normal mode so I don't ever see it being a problem.

Some people don't rate the Getrag manual gearbox but for my road use it feels fine. Tend to live in fourth and fifth most of the time because the engine pulls so strongly.
