I've done some looking around, and come up with a list of parts that I feel would make great additions to the car.. It is sort-of ordered in order of how soon I would get the part... I feel like I want the gears sooner but don't know if I could afford the install... and also wondering if i should get gears and t lok and have installed at the same time? I do want the lowering springs for the cornering.. but not sure if getting it so soon is most advantageous? I know you guys are pretty smart.. this is what I was thinking:

--GT or up stock muffler (mostly just for sound, and that I could get one and have it put on cheap)

--2.5" high-flow cat $100
Mor-Flo Performance

--Lowering Springs $240
2005-2011 Mustang V6 Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs

--Strut Tower Bar $50
Ebay

--4.10 8.8" Gears $160

--MSD Ignition $194
MSD 6A Ignition Module at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

--T Lok TCS $274
Ford Racing 8.8" 31 Spline Traction - LOK Limited Slip Differential at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

--Full Exhaust (still looking)

my knowledge of 05+ stangs is low.

But if the rear end is the same as ours you'll need 7.5" gears and Tlok ? idk if u have 8.8 or not ... but definately a good idea

Ignition I would think is worthless, imo

strut tower brace, kinda useless, but they look alright so go for it lol.

High flow cats are good idea, or if ur state has no emission laws, get an off road pipe w/ no cats...

Thanks! How hard would it be to find and install the rear end? Haven't looked into that yet..

[ESG-642T]

wrong section too.

I wouldn't waste the money on the strut tower bar. It's arguable they do anything but add weight to the front end, especially on an S197.

For the gears, those are wrong. You have parts listed for an 8.8", which you don't have. You need parts for a 7.5" rear unless you're gonna swap the axle, in which case you don't need the t-lok, as any 8.8 from a Mustang already has one.

[mustangmike!]

^^^^ my point exactly.

If u can find a 8.8 off a GT that would fit, with the gears you want already in it, $$$ <<< save lots of that green shhhtuffff!!!!

[v6mustang05]

I feel like that would be pretty hard to find... no? How would I come across this sort of combo? I've looked on our local forum, kcsr.org and didnt see any for sale?

Try EBAY, Craigslist, New take off . com


Do not buy the High flow cats, stut tower bar, or the MSD ignition. Those are all a waste of cash.
