Default New to Mustangs

I'm happy to say I just bought my first Mustang last week. Its a White 2004 GT and damn is it fun! Wondering. if I can get some mod suggestions from everyone...I know everyone had different opinions about what should be modded first, but as of now I'm in the market for an exhaust and a CAI. Whats a good CAI for a mustang? Also, whats the general opinion on Borla vs. Flowmaster vs. Magnaflow as an exhaust? Thanks for the help, and looking forward to being part of the Mustang community.

Welcome to the forum! Do what ever your budget allows you to do. As for the exhaust, add Bassanni to the list. I have a Mac CAI and like it. There's a million places you can start with the mods. Do your research and good luck.

JLT cold air intake, diablo or sct tuner (a awsome thing to have for any mustang owner), off-road X or H pipe, Cat-back exhaust system (which ever you prefer) & some gears. But it all comes down to what you want to spend.

Thanks for all the help. Found a Borla Catback for $650.00 that I think I'm going to pick up.
