Default New Mustang GT owner

I bought a 2015 GT Premium a couple of months ago, but before now I've owned only GM vehicles: '88 GMC Suburban, '95 Z28, '02 Trans Am, and a '05 GTO.

Of course, I don't want to install any mods that would void the warranty or require a tune. It's lame I know; it's my daily driver. However, I just ordered the Ford Racing X pipe and next I'll probably go with the Roush Axle-Back:

What other mods do you recommend? I read somewhere that an oil separator is a good idea, maybe a strut tower...

Warwick - Welcome to the madness. Curiosity killed the cat. Do you like Modular Basses? :-)

All jokes aside congratulations on the new car.

I just picked up a 2014 F150 leftover so I know all too well what it's like to keep that warranty intact for obvious reasons.

You're going to love the X-Pipe and the Roush Axle-Back. I don't get a pat on the back or credit for suggesting them but they hands down have one of the best systems on the market and it's definitely going to leave a huge smile on your face. Especially on cold start, it's awesome.

In regards to some of the other mods it's looking like you did your homework and an Oil Separator would be a great idea. I wouldn't personally bother with getting a driver side and would just stick with the passenger side because it's been shown to collect more than the driver. (At least with the 11-14 Coyotes)

It's a great idea for piece of mind just like what's being said in the comments below and it installs in a pinch.

Here's a video below too:


On the Strut Tower Braces we have a few on site right now but we're going to have many more in the distant future. They're great if you're looking to tighten up the front end and they'll give you the feeling that you're untouchable on the road. With a car that has over 400hp this can be a good and a bad thing as you're going to have that sense you can put the car through damn near anything.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'm here to help!

Thanks for the replies.

I have had the Warwick Corvette Standard 5 for about fifteen years now. I'll never sell the damn thing. Heh.

I called around to get a quote on an X-pipe install. One shop quoted me $95 and the other $115-125. That seems a bit hit. What's a reasonable price?

The shop I have been doing business with charges 80$ an hour and had my x-pipe installed in about 40 minutes.
