Afternoon yall, New owner
I bought my first mustang about a month ago and now im toying with the idea of adding a couple things to boost performance a little. I've been looking around on the site for a couple days. Nice cars =) I just got a black 06 with pony package and the mycolor interior package (set to blue at the moment). So, to boost performance a bit. I wouldnt mind spending around 1200 or so to add a bit too it, but i dont know what. I dont have the time/utiloities/experience to do alot of the more difficult things myself.
Any suggestions?
from what i can tell a cold air intake is a good idea a tuner and an axleback exhaust of some kind?
Thanks

I paid $580 for XCal 2 and C&L CAI and another $225 for muffler. You can get this done for way less than $1200. And the results will kick major butt. Go for a 93 octane tune. Right now, 93 octane is only about 7% more expensive than 87, and you will probably get 7% better gas mileage. And, when you want the power, the 93 rocks.

LX200 said it best.
1. XCal 2 and C&L CAI for about $525
2. Visit the Exhaust thread and liten for the tone you want. You will not get that much noticable gains from a dual exhaust unless you pay more for it and get an H pipe. I would just buy a single MRT Axle back or a Flowmaster 40 and pocket the other 400 bucks to buy something else.

3. Front strut tower bar. This option will help reduce the roll in the car. Look at MossMustang.com
as they have a good size catalog of different manufactures.
4. Have fun. I am sorry you got the itch and good luck. The only requirement I like to see is PICS!!!!

after you spend your $1200 or so on your car I don't believe you will wanna stop
modding is addictive so since you havent started yet you need to practice this phrase "It's only money" [sm=badbadbad.gif]
