throw some 4.10 gears in the rear and then go on to finish the exhaust (x-pipe and catback)

MSTGGT00 · January 4th, 2007, 11:45 AM

+1 Gears first. Or Jesus will inflict wrath upon you.

sonicblue · January 4th, 2007, 11:47 AM

lol...gears are the way to go!!!!

If you get gears don't you have to get a tuner too?

White99stang · January 4th, 2007, 01:08 PM

you don't have to have a tuner for gears at all, all the tuner would do was fix your speedo, you can buy a speed cal to do that.

But if he's looking to improve the performance of his car he's might as well get the tuner now. He'll probably want it eventually.

the tuner right now really isn't going to give him much for the money. maybe after doing heads/cams etc, then it would play a bigger part. for now, full exhuast, heads/cams, T/B, Plenum, Under drive pullies will get you started.

I thought he said he had heads already? Everyone knows the exhaust and mid pipe. Tuner seems logical to me. Screw it! Get a Kenne Bell Supercharger! LOL

TheManInBlack · January 4th, 2007, 05:41 PM

he said he had headERS. gears, mid pipe, and cat back is a good route.

MSTGGT00 · January 4th, 2007, 11:49 PM

Gears def.

If he furthur mods a tuner will be a big thing, if you bundle gears and a tuner it's a good deal. If he just gets gears purchased and installed at a local shop ( cheaper that way) and then he just has his speedo adjusted with a speedo cal (99 vs the 399 for the tuner) he'll be set.

Hands down though, Headers, Mid Pipe (x), and a catback (I like SLP LM's, some don't, all a matter of opinion: check www.mustangexhaust.com for sound clips of different setups) and some Gears. Best route for him.

Gears FTW...

OcOnnor220 · January 6th, 2007, 03:24 PM

A catback sport exhaust. Flowmaster, Loud Mouth, Bassani, Borla...etc. I think these cars shouldve come factory made with better exhausts.
