Did you buy from a private sale or dealer? If bought from a dealer I would see if you can contact the previous owner to see if you can get the tuner for the car. The tuner would not be worth much to someone else, as it is locked to your car. I tracked down the previous owner of my car and was able to purchase the tuner off him.

The newer mustangs are all on the bracket system, made that way for easy modding. Just some of the aftermarket exhaust fits better than others. As for the tuners id look at one of these, there are better ones out there but for its price its solid.
