Basic Mods for a 2010 Mustang GT?

macmovieman · December 11th, 2009, 10:14 PM

We just bought the car a few weeks ago and I am already thinking about doing some basic mods and wanted to get your feedback. What do you think? I know these are pretty basic compared to the stuff you guys are doing but I wanted to start out slow and then see what I want to do to the car.

I want to buy a Magnaflow Catback Exhaust

An X-pipe

an AIRAID Intake For 2010

Diablosport Trinity T-1000 Dashboard Monitor and Tuner

Rich11 · December 12th, 2009, 12:37 AM

depending on your price range i'd go-
Magnaflow Magnapack Catback Exhaust System-704.99
BBK Ceramic Long Tube Headers-549.99
BBK Shorty Catted X-Pipe-399.99
total-1654.97
keep the intake an turner as well.... or you could just wait until more companies come out with more products!

macmovieman · December 12th, 2009, 01:06 AM

This is my revised list based on some recommendations on and off the board. Is this a pretty good use of money to get things started?

Magnaflow Catback Exhaust N/A

An X-pipe N/A

BBK Ceramic Long Tube Headers $549

JLT Carbon Fiber CAI (2010 Mustang GT) Computer Tuning Required $399

Diablosport Trinity T-1000 Dashboard Monitor and Tuner $599

yea thts a good start... but it also depends on your goal for the... do youa want a daily driver with some power, a track beast.... those type of things factor in what mods you get how much hp/ tq are you looking to make...
but those are great starters!

macmovieman · December 12th, 2009, 01:29 AM

It is going to be a daily driver with some power. Some track time would be cool but it is an automatic.

Rich11 · December 12th, 2009, 01:39 AM

ok the headers won't work because they are made for manual cars.. so these may work-
JBA Cat4ward Long Tube Headers (05-10 GT) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
along with the o/r h pipe that you can purchase with the headers and if you dnt want long tube there's always short tube not as much power but hey somethings bttr than nothing!

slikirish · December 12th, 2009, 09:58 PM

Lookin like a good list. Wish I the money to get all that shit done at once.

macmovieman · December 12th, 2009, 10:42 PM

Does anyone know of any Ceramic Long Tube Headers for the automatic? I might need to do some more research, thanks.

Rich11 · December 13th, 2009, 01:55 AM

i don't think their are any out at the moment but I'm not sure... someone else may know

they might be out there. its hard to find them for autos.

just an idea if you dont want the headers you can go with a throttle body

Scott2001GT · December 13th, 2009, 02:00 AM

Idk much about the 2010 cars but for my year Mac, SLP, and I THINK kooks or hooker idk which one does too.

Ryguy33 · December 13th, 2009, 02:00 AM

and with lt's you need a shorty midpipe

Scott2001GT · December 13th, 2009, 02:01 AM

thats a nice tuner but a lot of money...a normal handheld works great and save more for gears

Scott2001GT · December 13th, 2009, 02:02 AM

Mustang SLP Coated Long Tube Headers - (05-10 GT) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Scott2001GT · December 13th, 2009, 02:02 AM

SLP is a lot but a great product IMO

Scott2001GT · December 13th, 2009, 02:06 AM

Kooks 2010 GT 1-5/8 Headers with 2.5 Collectors (Auto Trans) [KOO-6022A] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs

^ if you can afford it

macmovieman · December 13th, 2009, 02:13 AM

Here is the new and improved list of items I think I am going to install here later this month. Feedback? I am really not sure about the heads and may hold off until some stuff comes out that is much less and still ceramic for the 2010 GT auto.

FRPP 4.10 gears $600 installed

Kooks Ceramic Long Tube Headers $900 plus install

JLT Carbon Fiber CAI / SCT X-3 Tuner Package (2010 Mustang GT) $699

Magnaflow Catback Exhaust 16570 installed

X-pipe 16456 installed

Here is where I get a little confused. Do I buy the SCT X-3 Tuner with the JLT package or do I do a custom tune or both. By the way how much is a custom tune at RET? Yes I will call him next week to discuss but I am using the weekend to do research because I will have no time to do anything during the week.

Are these really that good? They seem like they are almost twice what some of the other stuff costs?

v606er · December 13th, 2009, 01:34 PM

WOah woah woah man! I paid $400 for my dual magnaflow cat back. Let me find you that link.

You need to do the 'make an offer' thing, and put in 400. The guy will probably come back with 430 or so for that kit.

2005-2009 Mustang GT/GT500 4.6L/5.4L Catback Magnaflow Exhaust 15881

You owe me $300.

macmovieman · December 13th, 2009, 03:42 PM

I am paying about $400 less than your lowest offer.
