Default My new 2016 Stang

I've had 3 other mustangs and had a kid so got rid of the mustang and had a 4 door jeep for 3 years. I loved the jeep but always missed my gt mustangs. My boy is a little older and my awesome wife agreed to take in her car for an SUV so I could get a mustang. I traded in the wrangler for a 2016 black performance pack GT manual. I've had it since June and it's pretty stock but man what a machine. I took it to a 2.25 mile road course track and I am impressed. Definitely the most capable mustang out of the other 3 I have had. I've had a 2001, 2007, and 2010 Gt manuals and this car is so much better. Good job ford. I defiantly have some plans for this car and will be shopping americanmuscle.com soon......again. Hopefully I can get a coupon code to help out.

Congratulations on your new GT. I've had my GT Premium for a couple months now and haven't had this much fun with my clothes on in a l o n g time. Love mine as I'm sure you do yours.

Congrats I got my '16 during Labor Day sale. I had the '10 GT and the '11 6 banger, then traded for non ford type cars for 5 years LOL, and could not hold back any longer watching the '16 go by all the time. To be truthful, the way they have setup this '16 GT I no longer have a desire for a Shelby, sorry if that insults anyone but in 2010 & 2011 you could walk outside and tell right away which was the GT, in '16 there was a exact same black GT350 next to mine an there was not much difference as in past, and for what it's worth, no more supercharges in the Shelby?

Thanks. I definitely have been having some fun with my car. Pretty soon I hope to do a CAI and also add the gt350 rear valance with the Borla cat back quad tip exhaust.

I have a few options for you to save money.
1. Get a AEM dry flow air filter instead of a $400 CAI, the stock intake is very good so just get the aftermarket, higher flowing dry paper air filter from AEM.
2. Get a Legato axle back exhaust for $330. It uses 2 flowmaster 40 mufflers, sounds great and no drone.

Those legato pipes do seem fairly nice inexpensive option, but here's my concern, one looks like true axle back and of course $800, the other seems much more than the Borla's, do the Borla's need cutting to install too?

Should need cutting. The whole exhaust is welded, so no joints to undo for aftermarket pipes.
