Default NEW GT

Well my buddy made me an offer on my WS6 I couldnt refuse, so it's gone, anyway I went to dinner with the wife in her stang vert, while driving buy the dealer I noticed something VERY green, turns out to have been a 2013 GT in
gotta have it green with a stick. Asked if I could take it for a ride the salesman said we only let seious ppl drive them, I want a lil upset and said "What I dont look serious"? well after a test drive and a call to my credit union shes mine I pick it up at noon tomorrow. What mods wont void my warranty I was thinking an exhaust and a CAI. And do they make a big difference??


Thanks,

Any CAI that doesn't require a tune is useless overall IMO. Anything you do that requires a tune will put your warranty in jeopardy if you have an engine or drivetrain failure. So to answer your question, nothing really, short of appearance mods. If you really need the warranty intact, then I'd leave it stock. If you do go for an intake, I'd recommend the new C&L for the 2013's. They designed the shroud to go around the hood vents and prevent the filter from being drenched in the rain..

Being completely new to these cars I really appreciate the help, can you guys tell me why they sell axel back and cat backs is the stock system good up til the axel? or is the axel back just for noise and the catback for performance. Need your help.

you'll get some minor performance gains, but nothing extreme. I did my x-pipe and exhaust mainly for the sound. the stock mufflers sound good, but my corsa x & mufflers sound better.

*also, where at in ohio are you? that wasn't you i saw the other day in the GHI green was it? lol

Im live in Chardon work in CLeveland and test drove it in Mentor. So the stock exhaust is pretty good axel back just for noise? Id like to see your car.
