Hi,

I am completely new to the whole modding scene. I know a small bit about cars, but nothing to be impressed about. I recently was talked into begin modding my 04 v6 mustang. I was wondering what my first mod should be. I would like a boost in performance and possibly have it sound a little better. But I mainly shoot for performance over sheer sounds.

Anyways, if anyone could give me a clue as to what would be an easy yet good first mod for me that would be great.

Thanks

 

Forgot to add that my mustang is manual(5 speed).

 

go wit true dual flowmaster 40's and a cold air intake first

 

I dont think I can afford a new exhaust system just yet, but I can probably fit in some money for a CAI. I'm assuming everyone/most recommend a K&N CAI system?

 

ebay CAI. cheap, same as a MAC and will give you pretty much the same gains as any other CAI.

if you can barely afford an intake, maybe you should hold off on modding and save a bit and get some gears & true duals.

 

I would suggest the K&N FlipK gen 2 kit its the best you can get. I got mine for under 200 on ebay with shipping best gains.i got my true duals flowmaster 40's for 600 installed . do ur whole exhaust first get the most gain for cheaper.and everything.

 

Aww, no. Just go with an Ebay CAI. I reccommend one by BOMZ Racing. A few people on ebay have those. That's what my first mod has been (as I am very short on cash like you) and I really did notice a difference. My car drives a hell of a lot smoother (especially when it's HORRIBLY hot) and the gas mileage is definitely noticeable for me. I don't use as much gas now.

You can hear it "whooshing" (for lack of a better term, lol) sometimes too... bringing in that cold air and such.

It was SO simple to do, and I'm a girl who doesn't know a lot about cars myself.
