So this is something someone like me with little mechanical knowledge can do with no problem. Do you have a link to this tuner/cai combo so I can check it out myself. I usually run 89 by the way....
I just installed mine yesterday. It is very straight forward. Basic tools to install. A 10mm socket and a 5/16 socket, a torque driver #20 and a phillips head. Really simple. Brenspeed has a good video for using the sct controller. I just watched it a few times to get a feel for it and then plugged it in and followed the prompts. Its really simple. You can do this. Lots of folks here willing to help you and answer any questions..........there are no stupid ones.

Sorry no video clips.....you could prolly google it and find one.

For exhaust, look at the SLP Loud Mouths. Sound awesome and and are one of the cheaper axlebacks out there. $349 at american muscle. I had Bassani's on it and swapped to the SLP's. Best decision I ever made!!

Check out the JLT CAI (requires tune but woke up the car like no other)and for an amazing and i mean breathtaking exhaust get the SLP LOUDMOUTHS.. I bought them and they sound amazing!!! my friend installed every exhaust on his and he is the one who introduced me to the loudmouths they are fantastic.
you can get them from americanmuscle.com
and for the cold air intake and tune i would order from bamachips the owner of the company owns a mustang and puts alot of time and hard work in his tunes theyre simply the best im going to order a race tune from him soon.

Thanks for the comments guys. I've pretty much made up my mind on the CAI and tune, but not sure on the exhaust yet.

I'm split between the SLP Loudmouth and the Boom Tubes. There both similarly priced but the Boom Tubes are said to have that better deeper sound. Any opinions on these 2 units?

Boom Tubes sound good..but are a pain to install. If you get BoomTubes..plan on getting new hangers and having a pain in the *** install..but it pays off. I also read that your were interested in inspections..so unless you know someone who owns a garage..check your state laws..Both SLP Loudmouths and Boomtubes are straight pipes with noo mufflers.

Cant comment on the Boom Tubes, but the SLP's are a breeze to install. Not that ease of installation should be your deciding factor, but it sure helps.

Thanks for all the help guys, I know a lot of forums don't like to be bothered by newbs asking questions they've heard many times before.

I'm pretty sure i'm going to pull the trigger on the boom tubes, do you guys recommend getting the SS Hangers too? And where would I get the best price? I was thinking Brenspeed since I'm probably going to get the Tune/CAI package too.

IMO get CAI, tune, and an off road H pipe from Brenspeed. H pipe alone sounds wicked, adds HP and is only like $180.
