A BUNCH of new parts, At least for me.

Ok, I finally pulled the trigger on some bolt on/welded in modifications. my 2013 GT has been stock since day one, well now it's time for some mods.
From Steeda, I purchased 1 of their Performance packages with the Boss 302 manifold,vapor/fuel line kit, CAI and an SCT X4 Tuner with lifetime tunes. JLT oil separator, X brace (goes behind rear seat in trunk), Frame rail and Torque box brace, Double bar strut tower brace, Steeda's Aluminum one piece drive shaft. Should make a difference I think.
Next up will be their Watts Link suspension piece. Opps, I almost forgot.
I also added a BBK X pipe, Roush Axle Backs (Sorry Steeda, I liked the Roush sound the best), Moroso aluminum brake fluid cover, Steeda Billet brake fluid cap, radiator overflow cap, oil cap, A/C cap, It all polished up to like chrome shine. Many thanks to Matt at Steeda for tolerating all my questions.

That is one heck of a haul - we appreciate the support.

Would love to hear your feedback after you get the items installed - I am sure you will be very happy!

Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

Best Regards,

TJ

I just added more to my post, I'd forgot that I did order other things as well.

Seems like you hit the jackpot. That's a good way to spend a few days in the garage and it will be a totally different feeling car.
