Smile New Here, 4.0 Mustang Convertible : Need Opinions

This is my mustang convertible, tell me what you think. I have been thinking of adding a CAI or maybe dual exhaust, but not sure; any suggestions?!
Will have better pics to post when i get back home.

A CAI and a flash tuner will get you about 15-25 HP increase for only around $600.

C&L CAI intake with tunes from BAMAchips, ...performance, race and torque tunes in the highest octane rating readily available in your area. $600.00

FRPP Duals sound great and look very good. $600.00 + install if you don't want to cut your own bumper.

CAI and tuner and/or dual exhaust will get the most bang for your buck. plus, the duals also add to the appearance!

car looks good!

Man this brings back memories lol. My car looked just like yours a little over a year ago, minus the stripes.

But yeah, if you want an easy performance boost, CAI and tune is a good starting point. Appearance wise little stuff like shorty antennas, clear corners, tinted head/tail lights are a good place to start. Probably my fave appearance thing I've done is add a chin spoiler, see my pic.

CAI and Tune from Bama and a grill for appearance and maybe a rear blackout panel.

Nice 'vert, Congrats!

I'm a big fan of duals on these cars. A CAI isn't really a huge performance gain (you can get about the same bump from a quality dyno tune with the factory intake) but most of them do add to the underhood looks.
