Default NEW TO MUSTANGS! NEED INFO!

Im looking into a few ways to go. I have a jlt cai and sct. now im looking at magnaflow comp cat back with o/r x pipe going to AMR LT headers. Now what im skeptical on is getting the bbk 85mm throttle body, will paying $500 be worth it at all, im hearing great things about the throttle response? And please if anyone could give me feedback on the full exhaust set up...I just traded in my charger recently and thus far im hearing ups and downs when it comes mod whys with the stangs...help me out please...im trying to reach max potential without supercharging....

The only thing I see about your exhaust set-up is the X-Pipe. I bring this up in case you aren't aware of the comparison between the O/R X and H.
The O/R X normally makes a few more HP, but the exhaust note is more raspy.
The O/R H may make a few less HP, but it keeps that deeper rumble exhaust note.

Don't really know anything about the throttle body, but I'm sure someone here will post up some info for you.

My opinion, you'd do better to port and polish your stock throttle body, maybe put in a spacer. You can see dyno gains with a $500 throttle body, my guess is butt dyno is not noticeable.

Throttle response...? it's all throttle by wire (electronic), so again.. my guess is a tune is what will give you more throttle response.

Maybe an expert tuner can say otherwise, but there is my undereducated opinion.

bro your sleeper exhaust video sounds immaculate hard to believe thats with stock headers!.. is that a o/r h or x? and yea i no the gains are minimal to the X or H but im going to have the raspy sound with the AMR headers(i swear by them) anyhow so i figure what the hell raspys fine with me, but since the magnaflow cat-back comp seris is 3' and most are 2.75' im looking for a nasty sounding x-pipe but im looking to make sure its a direct fit ment of 3' and i wasnt hellbent on the magnaflow o/r x but videos of others were scarce. And the tuning team at "DYNO TUNED PERFORMANCE" Do immacualte tuning so i was fixin on getting the throttle body,,,rather indesicife, but hey what 22 year old military grunt you know that isnt when it comes to his car lol

It's an O/R/ H-Pipe with cat deletes. Click the mod link in my signature. I've done all the mods myself.

Sounds like you have a plan, should be a great build.
