Sweet ride! I know I love mine, and can't wait for any excuse just to go for a drive in it!
As was already mentioned, it already has a factory CAI, but that huge resonator/silencer should really be replaced. I got the FRPP Resonator Eliminator tube from the Ford Racing catalog, and yes, it does allow you to hear more of the whine from the Eaton. If you want to pick up an easy 100hp, also get a 2.5 inch blower pulley, and a good 91-93 octane tune from one of the reputable tuners out there.

Do you know if the resonator delete tube will void my warranty?
And would you reccomend keeping the bumper to bumper warranty ? It's costing me about 40 a month... But I'd like to put an exhaust and the resonator delete... Maybe even raxiom halos.

As for the warranty, that's your call. I didn't put an ESP on mine because it doesn't get driven a lot. It's just a weekend toy.

Don't worry too much about the warranty, I've done a ton of **** to my car, including tunes, headers, and stuff that typically would make people worry...never been an issue with my dealer, hasn't even been brought up

Congrats. I still am in slight disbelief about my GT500...savor that feeling. The first thing I did was swap out that crapfest Shaker...the only thing left of that is the subs. Now the sound rocks out unbelievably. Enjoy the hell outta your new ride sir!
