hi all my names joe i just bought a 95 gt last year of the good ol' 5.0, i paid $5,500 for it with only 63,000 miles. im new to the american car scene. i used to drive a Honda lol very reliable, i cant badmouth the company. so i need to know what to do first, i believe it has a stock 2.73 gears which suck so i was lookin to up it to 3.73. exhaust possibly MAC, and not sure what is the best intake that is out there. the car is completley stock and has nothing done to it.
thanks for your help guys !!!

just little mods? well exhaust, let me recommend a MAC catback system with a UPR x-pipe ( www.uprproducts.com ) u can get that under $500 i believe. but you could also get flowmaster 40 series with a BBK x-pipe, and any kind of x pipe you wanted, even an h-pipe. i recommend x-pipe though. (you have to get the MIL's and the o2 sensors though) for intake, MAC has a good one so you could do that. the MAC is almost compared to the cobra intake, which is one part of the cobra where it get's it's name. just my $.02!

Go with your Ford Motorsport Gears 3.73
Mac Exhaust including: shorty headers(not equal length) Mac Pro-chamber, and the Mac Mufflers..
Then make sure you are breathing, with a cold air fenderwell intake tube, by MAC. Make sure it has a K & N Filter on it.
You can also move up your timing to 14 degrees.
And above all before you do all the mods... get a tune up, you don't know when those things were changed last, and you want it to be fresh with you so you know , and for your satisfaction that you have new plugs and wires, rotor and cap, all the fluids flushed,
The trick flow street heat intake or Edlebrock intakes will make a fine choice.

the offroad x/h will eliminate the cats, there for more flow out your exhaust, and a little horspower can, and it's louder....not RICE loud, muscle loud

mil eliminators stop the o2 sensors from triggering a "check engine" light. they are used for 96 and up cars. You'll be fine with no cats, you just won't pass any expection if you have them!!

There are o2 sensors on 94-95 you just don't need mil eliminators with them when using an off road h or x pipe!! The car will be fine with no cats trust me. I'm running an off road h-pipe and have no problems they are louder than cats though, but who doesn't like that sound?1

thats awesome, how much does it cost for the mil's, and what about the loss of back pressure down low.
i noticed that with my civic it kicked ass up top but low end was kinda a dog.
i had 2.25 mandrel bent cat back with a magnaflow muffler

Like I said you don't need the mil's unless you have a 96 or newer car. You won;t have problems with a loss of back pressure. Go with 2 1/2" mandrel bent pipe all the way back, and trust me you should have already noticed that the mustang has a lot more low end than that honda.

yea i see what about headers wise its more complicated with a v8 like the best ones out there?
with my honda i had 4-2-1 for some low end!
compared to 4-1
exhaust wise i was thinking mac because everyone rips on flowmaster here lol 
flowmaster actually sounds great with 4 bangers!
