Bought a 2005 GT last week. 33000 miles on her. Pretty obvious that I have a cold air intake, although there is no brand name on the intake pipe. Noticed yesterday that I have "pypes" printed on the exhaust tips. It looks like a Pypes Violator axle back system. Now keep in mind that I bought this car sight unseen. I had never driven a mustang or even sat in one. Just fell in love with it in '05 when it came out. Finally could afford to buy one.
So, my question is, how can I tell if the previous owner installed a tune? Don't really have a local Ford garage, maybe they could tell me. Understanding that the car could possibly "lean out" with these mods, I am planning on getting an SCT from brenspeed, but maybe I don't need to.
Any advice from an old pro would be appreciated. This is my first mustang, never even owned a ford.
Thanks

 

P.S. I'm sure I'm opening myself up to some ridicule for buying sight unseen. But hey, when you get a chance, sometimes you gotta take it.

 

If its an auto its easy to tell if you have a tune. A stock tune will NOT chirp the tires going into second and third. A AM or brenspeed tune will.

Nice looking car dude.

 

post up a picture of the intake and we can easily tell if its one that requires a tune or not

 

Yep, post a pic of the CAI! Buying a tuner with new tunes would be a good idea, but they'll ask what kind of CAI you own. Need to know the brand name so that they'll know which tunes to give you.

Welcome to the mustang world!

 

It's a manual, runs like crazy. Working on getting a pic uploaded of the CAI.

 

After looking through AM and Brenspeed, my guess is C&L, but it says nothing.

 

thats the steeda intake if im not mistaken and it does reguire a tune

 

I say you already have a tune.

 

Looking at the Steeda on American Muscle, you're probably right.
