Full exhaust!!!! Long tube headers, off road mid pipe. Or a torque converter.

What are your plan for the car? if a DD, would not suggest deleting the cats .Does your state have emission testing ?

Yes my car is a daily driver. And my ultimate goal is to piece together the $1500 vortech kit. I'm of you have read that article. And yes I live in California so there is emission testing, but tbh I don't think that will deter me from getting an o/r midpipe. I'm leaning more towards an H pipe.. Possibly? I think X gives more hp but tbh I like the H sound better.

Are there pros/cons to bolt on exhaust vs welded in?

Get a welded H or X pipe. The only issue ive had with welded is the tail pipes. Finish your gear install, youll like it.

It sounds like you definitely have some good mods so far! The 4.10 gears are going to completely change the car, throw those bad boys in ASAP you won't be disappointed.

Like these guys said, a Full exhaust would be a great next mod. Long tube headers and a Catless mid-pipe will net for a gain in power and will give your Mustang that legendary Muscle Car sound we all love! I also wouldn't look to past suspension mods, lowering springs and control arms are a few of the best mods you can do for your Mustang.

I hope this helps. Remember, this is just my opinion! You really can't go wrong when it comes to modding your Mustang.

Thanks Dan. AM has treated me good so far lol. Are there any pros/cons going with shorty headers other than long tubes? Take into account I'm going f/I in the future

DEFINITLEY! I could tell the difference over stock. But tbh, I couldn't tell the difference between street performance and race. So I leave it on race

I didn't see you mention what injectors you are using, if you are still running the stock 19# injectors for some reason do yourself a favor and at least get some 24#.

I have the pink injectors so I think they are the 19#. I knew I would have to change them down the road. But nobody has mentioned that I should get larger ones. Will I notice a difference if I put them in now?

Bama has a webpage u fill out and wrote down any mods u may have
The email u a tune that u download to ur computer
U use ur tuner n return ur car to stock before u plug ur tuner Into ur computer
Upload tunes onto tuner device and then uoad tunes from device to car

Bama gives u three tunes in the email: street performance and race. I believe the all have different powerband ranges and you just choose whichever u want to upload.

I have this one http://s7d4.scene7.com/is/image/Turn5/38018?$s7product$

A tuner was the first mod I got. It was THE BEST first mod period. After every bolt on u need a tune anyway. So why not get that first?
