Hey,
I am a new mustang owner, and in which I bought a 1996 GT Ford Mustang 4.6l auto recently and would like to upgrade the car. The car currently is all stock and I have included pictures of the car. I am not a car expert, and am looking for help on how to upgrade my Mustang. For all of you that help can you please list what each upgrade will do for my car and how much it will cost. Thank you.
Jeff

Gears!! 4.10's probably cost around 500 and throw another 100 for a Dallas Mustang SpeedCal to correct the speedo.
Smoked headlight/foglights... Jonbeast has pics of them on his car and I've got them as well on mine... Ditch those headlight covers... BlueOval industries on ebay, $240..

PI heads, thats what everyone will suggest for your first or atleast a close to first mod. It'll improve vastly as the Non PI heads are really sucky.

Depends on what you want. There are plenty of mods out there and different brands but unfortunitly their much more limited then 5.0's. I think you have a very nice lookin ride personally. People will tell you CAI, Gears, Tune, Headers, X-Pipe, Catback, Nitrous, Supercharger, Turbocharger, Intake Plenum, Intake Manifold, Throttlebody, Short throw shifter just to name a few. But its up to you on what you want to start with. People around here tend to say intake side of the motor first or the opposite and start with exhaust first. So first off for either would be Cold Air Intake, followed by Intake Plenum, next would be the Throttlebody, and finally a Manifold itself (if you got the money). Exhaust would be X-pipe, followed by Catback exhaust and then if you got the time and a spare car it would be headers (not to mention scrapping the xpipe and catback you had just put on).

Do you want it to look better or perform better?

Thank you for all the advice and the tips. I want my car to look like the best and to have the best car. What would it cost me for the complete exhaust, many have suggested flowmaster, what's your opinion?

I love the sound of flows. Cat back is around 300 i think. Then get some nice rims, and eibach lowering springs (200), itll look sweet.
