Intake
I have a friend who has been big into modding his car for a while now and I have decided to play with mine some. His experience has been with an eclipse so he can't tell me everything I need to know about my '00 mustang gt. I'm going to take baby steps for now and the very first thing I'm going to do is put a cold air intake on it. I wanted to get the advice of people who know what I need to tell me which cold air intake I should buy and where. Thanks in advance for your help guys.

RE: Intake
How about not buying a cold air intake, & getting a m.a.m. Cold air intakes are a waste of money compared to a m.a.m. C&L upper intake plenum, Accufab 75mm t/b, C&L trueflow pipe, & m.a.m. w/a K&N air filter is the way to go for you induction on a n/a Stang.

RE: Intake
IMO it depends on what you are looking for in the long run.
any decent CAI and catback is a good start. it will make your car feel more powerful and responsive. Then a decent midpipe and gears.
Unless you want to go nuts, then you should listen to someone else. I like to keep it simple/cheap for now but still have a faster than stock stang with good stuff on it.
Don't buy junk though.

And I'm not going nuts on this just yet, want to do the cheaper mods first and see how well I like it but also do it in a way where I don't have to re-do things in case I do decide to go with a supercharger later on.

I believe I posted it, '00 mustang GT. It's automatic if that makes a difference.

I love the C&L mass air system w. trueflow inlet pipe. check them out at www.cnlperformance.com

RE: Intake
Take the air screen out of your stock air intake(not the filter) and you will get almost as much HP as a CAI- then spend that money on a mid pipe or cat back and you will run and SOUND better on a budget.
