I bought my first mustang about a month ago and now im toying with the idea of adding a couple things to boost performance a little. I've been looking around on the site for a couple days. Nice cars =) I just got a black 06 with pony package and the mycolor interior package (set to blue at the moment). So, to boost performance a bit. I wouldnt mind spending around 1200 or so to add a bit too it, but i dont know what. I dont have the time/utiloities/experience to do alot of the more difficult things myself.

Any suggestions?

from what i can tell a cold air intake is a good idea a tuner and an axleback exhaust of some kind?

Thanks

+1 Welcome and


WE NEED PICTURES

Welcome to the brotherhood.

NOW GIVE US PICTURES!

id say for a budget near 1200 intake/tune/exhaust is a pretty good idea, and its always a great way to start with a car.

I paid $580 for XCal 2 and C&L CAI and another $225 for muffler. You can get this done for way less than $1200. And the results will kick major butt. Go for a 93 octane tune. Right now, 93 octane is only about 7% more expensive than 87, and you will probably get 7% better gas mileage. And, when you want the power, the 93 rocks.

a lotta people like to start with exhaust, intake and a tune. with 1200, you will be off to a great start. best of luck with your mods and welcome to the sixer family.

LX200 said it best.

1. XCal 2 and C&L CAI for about $525
2. Visit the Exhaust thread and liten for the tone you want. You will not get that much noticable gains from a dual exhaust unless you pay more for it and get an H pipe. I would just buy a single MRT Axle back or a Flowmaster 40 and pocket the other 400 bucks to buy something else.

3. Front strut tower bar. This option will help reduce the roll in the car. Look at MossMustang.com (http://mossmustang.com/Browse/PlateMenuProducts.aspx?WebCatalogID=33&PlateTypeID=1&SubcomponentID=103)
as they have a good size catalog of different manufactures.

4. Have fun. I am sorry you got the itch and good luck. The only requirement I like to see is PICS!!!! :D

after you spend your $1200 or so on your car I don't believe you will wanna stop :D

modding is addictive so since you havent started yet you need to practice this phrase "It's only money" [sm=badbadbad.gif]

welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums. These guys have given you good advice. Keep us posted on your steed.

Welcome to the forums and to Mustang ownership. Your modding q's have been pretty well answered allready. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Thanks for the advice guys. Havent had the chance to get pictures uploaded yet. but it looks real similar to blazens. except no shorty antenna.

I thought about getting one in the Vista Blue color, but couldnt find one that was a manual and had pony package that wasnt sold already. But I'm a big fan of the black anyways =)

The other thing I've been thinking about is possibly tlock and a gearing change all at once

Welcome to the forum. You'll get lots of help here. I know I have. My advice is to start slow and work your way up to where you want to be. I've started with a different muffler and am now trying to decide what's next.

We look forward to seeing the pics.
