which mod everyone plan on doing first?

Exhaust, CAI, etc.

 

I would let everyone else spend their money ( aka waste ) on mods that don't work and wait until good combos are known.

 

Minor appearance until people start rolling out the parts and have proven to be robust enough to put on my car. I don't plan on taking any chances with shady companies on this car.

 

Cant go wrong with a Cai and tune.

 

Well, ya you could. You could waste your money.

Seems like Ford put a lot of time into the exhaust note, making the intake flow better, and a lot of other things that most people would do to a Stang right out of the gate.

I'd wait until a performance shop tries everything under the sun to see what is the most bang for the buck.

Depending on how things play out, I may skip all the usual bolt-ons and go straight for a supercharger.

 

I'll get the windows tinted, although Ohio only allows a tint of 50%, which is very light and lame. It's kind of hard to notice unless you're parked next to a car without tint, then it stands out a bit. I'll get matching floor mats and steering wheel cover.

I have an MRT axle back exhaust on my '05. there wasn't any difference in my 1/4 mile time before and after I added that, but I really like the sound. So I will look at getting some axle back exhausts. Then a tune. Maybe a tune before the exhaust, depends on what comes out first.

 

I love my cai and tune, it really woke up the car. But if your going FI, then anything else that doesn't contribute to the supercharger is a waste of money.

 

All I'm doing is tinting my windows, Flowmaster Super 44's and maybe a tune!

 

Window Tint
CAI
Axle-Back
Lowering Springs
Wide as I can go rear tires Nitto (285?)

When available:
High Flow catted X pipe
Tune
100 shot (maybe)

 

I will go with appearance and strut tower brace for my to-be-ordered v6 first.

 

Window tint without hesitation.
Lower the car a bit.
Wider rear tires without going out of specs with Brembo wheels.
And wait for the other guys to report on any worthy mechanical mods, tunes, air. etc.

 

exhaust for sound. window tint, 3.73 since ford dont offer on vert. then call it a day. should keep me happy for about a year.

 

From what we've heard from various sources out there, it seems to have a very nice throaty sound. I'm not gonna comment on that till i hear it from myself. But it looks promising.

 

it should but i cant have stock exhaust on a v8. it just dont seem right somehow. lol

 

On my V-6, a strut tower brace. Maybe a 'proven and tested' set of headers later on. I'm afraid a tune won't work on the 2011 engine's 'as well' as on the older engines. In my opinion, if the engine is continuously adjusting the camshafts and the timing for optimal performance, what more could a 'tune' do for the engine.

My present car has 'dual (intake and exhaust valves) variable valve timing'. No tunes are offered for it.

I hope someone does come out with a tune for the Mustangs new engines, if possible. Time will tell.

 

I have to add this......On my 4 cylinder engine i did add a header, c.a.i. and an exhaust system. This did take 1.2 seconds off my 0 to 60 times. Improvements can be made.

 

There will be tuners tuning the new cars, no question about it.

A tune may not net much to a stock car but if you mod it in such a way as to change the airflow in or out it will require a tune. So, if you do get a set of headers or a CAI for your car you will need a tune for it.

On your new V6 Mustang, before I would put headers on it I would open up the air intake with a good aftermarket CAI.

 

most likely the shifter...

 

Window Tint and Axle Back.

I don't plan to go as crazy as I did like with my '04. Maybe skip shift delete if it's possible.
