These 3 mods make a big difference in the way the V6 Mustang runs. Good luck!
What does a performance muffler do for you? Would this be something before or after I change my gears and what is a average cost for this?

Thanks

less stress on the engine which equates to some extra power "freed" up (not added) and most of all, better sound.

Default Tuners

I wish the thread that i just put up got this much attention lol... If youre looking at Tuners and Cold Air Intakes then take a look at AmericanMuscle.com. Ive done quite some looking around on that website and I believe I picked out the top Tuner and Intake. Feel free to copy my choice of parts brotha! This is what I plan on purchasing...

Intake: http://www.americanmuscle.com/fordra...ai-0509gt.html
Tuner: http://www.americanmuscle.com/x3-cus...er-0510gt.html



Hope that helped! :]

Default Custom/Preloaded Tuners

Also, would anyone care to explain the difference between Custom and Preloaded Tuners?!
This may help you out on your search aswell man... Or have you already picked which one you wanted?

preloaded tunes = performance tunes included with programming tuner created by the tuner's manufacturer (Diablo, SCT, etc.).

custom tunes = tunes created by an independent performance shop more specific to each vehicle and its various other mods.

in general, better performance from a custom tune.

***been out the loop awhile but i'm creeping back into the scene! lol
