Overall plans for my Mustang
Hey all I thought I would just compile a list of al my plans at this point and get your opinions about what you think or comments about the overall power they will all yield anyway here it goes =)
Borla Stinger Cat Backs
SCT Livewire Tuner with a 91 Octane Tune
4.10 Gears
Cervini Ram Air Hood (No kit I figure the extra air rushing into the engine room keeping it cool is about equal =).
Roush Front Fascia and Chin.
And I am thinking some 18"s not sure what to go with yet exactly the car is Torch Red im thinking that some black rims would look pretty good most likely bullit ones suggestion are welcome =)
8 inch Shorty Antenna
Roush 1/4 Window Louvers Torch Red
Full Mirror Covers Torch Red
Thats pretty much it im sure once this is all done ill find more to do but this is it for now =)

The CAI kit is is about more than cold air. I have a Cervini raim air hood - the Type IV hood. I noticed no difference in performance after installing it (I don't have CAI yet). The CAI's improve air flow regardless of whether or not the air is any colder.
And I'm thinking about putting Cervini's ram air kit on the hood - the part that directs air towards the air filter. I don't like that looking at the front of my car, I can see the coolant reservoir through the ram air scoop.
But Cervini says the ram air kit is not compatible with aftermarket CAI. I think it is designed to work with the stock airbox. Maybe I could just cut that part off. Who knows. Not sure what I'll do there.
About those Stingers. Think long and hard how you feel about drone. I had Stingers and they sounded beautiful except for the drone. I couldn't handle the drone so I sold them.

Damn didnt know Borla's droned.... lame how bad is it honestly If listen to music at about 10 notches in my car on the Shaker 500 I dont usually go much louder would that cover the drone or would the drone just make it seem like nothing? Seems like there is always something bad about any exhaust and I do have an automatic as well maybe i should just forget it and get Corsa's havent heard one bad thing about them at all ever... lol but im sure someone will come along and find SOMETHING to say other then the crazy price =) lol

- Axlebacks in lieu of catbacks. The stock midpipe flows as well as those on aftermarket catbacks so save yourself a few bucks.
- Get a CAI with the tunes. Best bet on custom tunes is Brenspeed, Bama or VMP. Check their websites for combo prices.

I think all non-stock CAI are illegal over here in CA but i know its a 15-20 minute install and I could change em out for smog so maybe the best thing would be a CAI and Tuner first of all.
