At 17, I was... walking.

Thanks all, I know rather lucky on my part! Missing the MPG of my old focus, but hell don't really care.


The thing is I love those Pype Bomb and SLP loudmouth exhausts, and for the price (around 300) I could get a tuner as well. But here in WA state mufflers are a required item. I know that louder exhausts can still get you written up though, so I don't know if paying much attention to that muffler law is worth it, what do you all think? Any fellow washintonians?

I love the sound of those Borlas, music to my ears, and they are technically "legal" but cost so very much.

Also I like the price on the American Thunder Flowmasters and could grab a Bama tune as well with those, but they aren't much louder than stock.

I grew up in D.C. and NYC (Harlem/Bronx), but was born in D.C. I was just in both places 4 weeks ago for my 2week R&R vacation. Mother just moved to the Chrystal City area though..

FRPP Stingers are the same as Borlas and usually cheaper. Might even be made by the same company.

My sis has had them on her 07GT for 5 years now and loves them, always passes inspection. Don't remember the site I ordered them from but paid less than $400.

CAI/tune from americanmuscle or brenspeed should be the first thing on the list.

Honestly, your 17 years old and your 300hp muscle car doesnt have enough kick? I would enjoy the power or a little bit before you start adding stuff. once you are used to the 300hp and 300hp feels normal, buy the tune and it will turn it into a whole new car. just my opinion though

Very lucky!

Grab yourself a CAI and a tune first, then worry about exhaust. You don't need to do a full catback exhaust and honestly I'd be hesitant to suggest it since your state has inspections (Florida doesn't! ). Axle-back is all you really need to get a great sound out of your V8. My personal preference: SLPs, Borlas, Corsa, and Stingers. Downright drool worthy.

Welcome to the forums, always nice to have another mustang member here.

I agree if you want quick and effective and noticeable power, then I suggest getting a CAI and combine that with a tuner. The tuner itself is completely worth and if you plan on making more upgrades that will change settings to the ECU then a tuner is a most and will offer a big increase in power. Like throttle response and shift point changes.

CAI is another quick but effective upgrade to make. Really opens up the air flow to the engine lol which is obviously its purpose but makes a big difference. As said there are plenty of websites such as american muscle being one of the many leaders, late model restoration is good and others that are listed on the forums.

I would start off with those and then add other mods from there,gears headers. As for exhaust flowmaster is always good from a roaring type sound and classic mustang/muscle car feeling. Others such as pypes are good too (which I myself have now) there better priced and offer good performance gains.

Anyways welcome again and we all would be glad to help you if you need it so just ask.
