I read through how to do gears, exhaust, all of that stuff. I know there's some cheap mods out there. What do you guys recommend? It's a stock 07 with an auto.
Cheap but well worth it: a single GT take-off passenger-side mufflerfrom Ebay or Craigslist.

The TB heater is easy to do yourself.

Ya, the GT takeoff is a no brainer, just trying to decide if the car will be duals in the future.

Will the full stock exhaust off of a GT fit the V6? Or at least be fairly easy to make it fit?

Get aShorty antenna. I got an 8" from american muscle and it looks great. Also there are tons of billet interior accent parts like ac *****. I bought the knee pad from v6mustang stuff and it makes long drives much more comfortable.

Bolts right on. Be sure its M/T GT take-off muff not an Auto GT take-off muff.
GT M/T Muff FI-7849-R

Look see if you have an A-arm brace as Ford left it off some of the S197s.

How about the rear sway bar?
Got one of those? Even the PPs benifit from the GT sways, front and rear.
GT take-off swaysare bigger,better and cheap.
Poly bushings help a ton and are cheap and easy to install.

Roush rear springs lever her out a bit. $125 and easy to install.



How bout painting it all black behind your grill. It looks 100% better.
