Today on Donut, the team delves into the world of drag racing, pitting a budget-friendly $800 intake and exhaust system against a high-end $4,200 setup. In a quest to answer the age-old question of whether more expensive truly means better, they embark on modifying two Mustang GTs for the drag strip. Amidst banter and challenges, the crew tackles the installation of headers, exhausts, and intakes to enhance airflow and potentially boost horsepower for faster track times.

As they dive into the intricacies of the modifications, the team faces hurdles typical of working on modern, tightly-packed cars like the Mustang GT.
