What parts should I buy?
Ijust wanted your opinions on a few parts to get for my 07 V6 Mustang. before you start saying get a Supercharger or a Turbo, I'm not looking to heavily mod it. It's my DD so I'm just looking for a few simple cost efective mods that might give me a few more ponys but also help the mpg a couple as well. CAI, TBS, Tuner, Exaust? Any Ideas or perfered brands? And why? I'd just love to hear what you guys think. Thanks, Tyler

RE: What parts should I buy?
Tyler, go with the CAI and Tuner. Most brands of CAI are comparable and work well. The tuners are Xcal and Predator. Both work fine, I went with the XCAL due to the amount of good tuners. If you wanna make it sound better go with the Axleback exhaust, not a hole lot of gain but will help with the sound.
I went with tuneableinductions.com XCAL and CAI package for $525 shipped and there is Flowmaster and FRPP and Borla and Jba for exhaust....stay away from the TB they are very useless for these cars.
UDP's and T-lock and gears next but you are not looking to get into all that from how it sonds.

You probably should look at something like the Steeda or FRPP package for the 6er. Good things that will keep your car with stock reliability are:
Muffler (JBA, FRPP)
Cat Back Exhaust (FRPP, NinoSport)
Shorty Headers (JBA)
Cold Air Intake (C&L, JLT, Steeda, VMP)
Underdrive Pulley (Steeda, ASP)
T-Lok (FRPP)
Gears (FRPP)
Aluminum Driveshaft (Powerhouse411, Saftmasters)
Tuner (Xcal or Preditor from VMP or Bamachips)
The brands that I listed above are IMO the most reliable for each part. People will probably argue with the brands, but I have been on the forums for a long time and have tried a lot of parts on my car. Keep in mind, for ever part, there are going to be people who have had success with it. For example, a lot of people have had no trouble with the Pypes dual exhaust, but there are also quite a few people who have had issues with them. These are the brands that seemingly have had no problems on our cars.

RE: What parts should I buy?
i agree with chris... also if youre planning on progressively tuning your stang id go with dual exhaust.. its my favorite part of my car...I got the JBA h-pipe system for the v6 with gt takeoff mufflers (bout 700-800 installed) .. the sound is great and you can really tell a difference in the power .. next it would def be cai / tuner. good luck with it and welcome to the club!
