Ok, a few things first off. Ford stands by their "Cold air induction" systems on the 2011+ Mustangs. So much so that Ford Racing has not made a cold air intake, but rather a "higher flowing filter." I want to go all Ford Racing on my Mustang. Stupid it may be, but I like it. If anyone knows whether Ford Racing makes a cold air intake for the 2012 Mustang GT please let me know. And if the higher flowing filter + a tune is better than a cold air intake please let me know. Another thing I'd like is some Shorty style headers, but the only thing I have seen that Ford Racing makes even close is Cast Iron Manifolds, which wouldn't gain me anything. Once again, if anyone knows that Ford Racing makes headers, would you let me know? Thanks for the help in advance!

There really is no reason to stick to one brand. Though here. http://www.fordracingparts.com/ This is Ford Racing's website.

FYI a quick look on the site, Ford does not offer anything in the form of Headers for 11+ Mustangs. Anything they do offer is in the form of Shorty headers so you will have to wait for them to make shorty headers for the 11+.

Thanks. I know there really isnt a reason, just something I wanted to do. I'm just going to go with whatever. Ford Racing just isn't up to par with the bolt ons like I was expecting

If you're going to go Ford Racing then save your money and get one of their SC kits. Now THAT is an intake system.

There are a lot of parts out there, so it's hard to stay with just one brand. There are some parts that Ford Racing is good for, other parts another brand is good for, and so on.

Just ask around the forums when it's time to upgrade a part and everyone will have their preferred part, and you can make any judgements on your own.

For instance I'm an N/A guy. Long tubes would be the only thing I'd ever put on my car and there are a few good brands. American Racing Headers, Kooks, and so forth. Matters how much you want to pay, what kind of quality Stainless Steel you want, Ceramic Coatings, full kits (Cats/No Cats, X/H pipe) and so forth. Great thing about Mustangs is variety.
