Part- Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust.
Pros- Fairly easy install. Gives the car that Mustang sound.
Cons- None. I love this exhaust

Part- BBK Cold Air Intake
Pros- Fairly simple install. Gives the car a nice growl on initial take-off
Cons-Installing the cone in the fender well can be a little tricky by yourself.

Part-Bassani X-pipe with hi flow cats
Pros-Rounds out that great Mustang sound, and sounds great with the American Thunder Exhaust and cold air intake. Car really growls at 4k RPM, and has a nice rumble at idle now.
Cons-The right side header nut can be a pain in the rear without a semi-deep socket on a swivel. I learned the hard way about that. That was the only hang up on installing this part.

CAR: 1990 MUSTANG GT 5.0 (5 speed)

jEEd

Car: 1996 Mustang GT

Part: Flowmaster 40's CB
Pro's: gives you that classic mustang sound, nice and deep
Con's: not very loud compared to the stock, just "noticeable" difference.

Part: JLT Ram Air Intake
Pro's: works alot better than the stock and keeps the air alot cooler with the 4" piping.
Con's: comes with such a crappy heatshield that heatwrap / cai adator is necessary if you dont want to suck in hot air.

Part: Eibach Pro Kit (Convertible)
Pro's: definitely stiffer, relatively no "nose dive" when braking, drops the car roughly 1.2-1.5"
Con's: didn't lower the car that much compared to many other brands that claim 1.5" drop, removing isolators up front is almost necessary to make eibach's look good.

Part: Full PI Swap (H/C/I) Windsor
Pro's: Definitely one of the best bang for your bucks on the underpowered SN95's. definitely 50 or so hp difference and tq is very noticeable.
Con's: compression is bumped to 10.5:1 therefore can't run higher than 8psi of boost "safely".

Part: Accufab 75mm Mirror Finished Throttle Body & Plenum
Pro's: definitely show worthy, way better throttle response compared to stock and will yield greater #'s with boost.
Con's: expensive for price compared to other brands that almost put out the same hp/tq.

Part: Magnaflow Catted Tru-X X-Pipe
Pro's: noticable gain in performance, alot louder than stock, but a bit more raspy than deep.
Con's: not the deep sound that some people look for and also expensive for name brand. another bad thign was the bracket to hang on the middle of the midpipe was off by about 6"s so its hanging right now...
