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.

The installation process proves to be a test of skill and endurance, with the crew pushing through to complete the upgrades and eagerly anticipating the dyno tests to evaluate the impact on horsepower gains. With a focus on the importance of tuning to extract the maximum potential from the modifications, the team prepares to put their modified Mustangs to the test on the drag strip. Stay tuned to witness the outcome of this high-stakes experiment and discover whether the price tag truly reflects the performance enhancements in the world of drag racing.
