2012 mustang GT, which mods?
#41
I've since moved on to a bit more aggressive tune on the GT500 but I've still got the FRPP CAI which IMO, the shield at least is the best one out there.

I'm debating between the Roush axel back and the GT500 axel back. Both don't require a tune, the GT500 AB is $400 less than the Roush. I know the GT500 AB is a simple bolt on installation, no drilling or anything, is the Roush also a simple bolt on? I'm planning to have my local shop do it for $60
You should do what I'm going to do: Buy the Roush and if you find it's too loud, sell them on here for a slight loss and you'll still have enough to buy the GT500s with a few bucks left over.
If you don't have a lift and don't spend a lot of time under cars, I would recommend paying the $60. I know that's not a "car guy" thing to do but saving the time and aggravation would be well worth it to me.
But if THESE disappear from your car I'd start hunting for a kid with Roush exhaust AND Pony valve stem covers on his bike and whip his butt.

Seriously though, if you go with the Roush's please don't make a thread the next day complaining they are so loud that they rattled your e-brake button loose and you think the car is falling apart and going to explode. Just playin'...

Why go through all that trouble when the Roush's sound like sex str8 from the box?

I received the Roush AB and put them on in about 1 1/2 hrs. I don't have a lift and didn't jack it up, so it was a tight fit, but not over the top hard at all. The hardest part was getting the stock off the hangers. Everything else - easy. The sound - absolutely sexy. The GT500 muffler set up was better than stock - but mellowed out too much. The Roush AB will mellow a little, but if you want it to be heard - just depress that gas pedal. One of the easiest and worthwhile upgrades I did.

what do you think about the ford racing suspension set
http://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-h...ck-0512gt.html
and the Eibach suspension set
http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach...stem-1112.html
The Ford racing ones are more expensive but I don't know if they're better. If I buy the set I would have my local shop do it and pay them labor I mean they shouldn't mess it up right cause it should be simple to install. Anyone have this suspension set? how is it?

What would you recommmend now for suspension upgrades. I've been looking at the FRPP for listing price of 1399 $ I think is the price but didn't see some of what you listed like with the strut mounts, static shock, adjustable shocks. and what the difference I'm new to the modding thing by the way. I've done some modding but not much.

If you've got a manual transmission, I'd recommend getting a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, although others will recommend one from MGW or Barton. Then top it off with a custom shift **** from Grabber Pony.
