There is a sound difference throatier but also HP gains as well but it all depends on your mods. If your intake is stock gains won't be as much as if u have upgraded. I'm running fully ported performers matched to my performer heads and a blower so I would see a bigger gain if I just installed them. Definitely a good mod. Full exhaust suspension and frame connectors should be tops on your list

Just keep in mind he has a 5.0 pushrod while you have a 4.6 modular engine. Two totally different engines with two different exhaust notes.

Very true

Headers will still sound good but your cars factory headers are actually very good. Much better then what was OEM on mine in 89

Which cold air intake brand did you install? I am most likely going to do it first since its simple and cheap from there im gonna move on to catback suspension and maybe connectors but they are on the list.

Yes you are right, very true. Did you install a cold air intake on your stang? Im trying to get good idea on brand. I see a few on american muscle but not sure which to choose

I'm running a BBK cold air intake with a 76mm MAF calibrated for 24 lbs injectors. BBK way to go for CAI on a fox. Frame connectors should be first dude

CAI are more of an under the hood dress up than they are a performance upgrade. If you're looking to make your engine bay a little cooler than go ahead and buy one but if you just want that little tiny bump without having to spend to much you could get an K&N drop in air filter and remove the air silencer to get a little better flow without spending to much.

My car came with its CAI already installed but just buy whichever one you think looks best

K&N was on my list. Alot of people are saying to remove the air silencer also ive heard of it a couple of times before.

We are all inexperience at one point in time. I hardly knew anything about these cars at first but I've been here for a while now and have gained a lot of knowable throughout my time and still have plenty to learn.

Cause mustangs have weak subframe a the car is light and puts out decent HP stock. Without frame connectors frames can be twisted easily. Especially with a lot of mods
