You can tune if you want but a simple ECU reset should do.

 

I agree with what everyone is saying here: your friend doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. No pun intended, but honestly.

Exhaust/intakes are the first mods you can really do. Upgrading your engine? Yeah, with either twin-turbo or a supercharger--those are about the only thing you can "upgrade your engine" with. Get yourself an exhaust! It's the best bang for the buck. Especially when you're talking Fast Intentions. Although if you getting the test pipes, you'll need a tune with all of it, and beware of significant interior resonance with them. Get an exhaust first, then go from there. Or intakes. But an exhaust is much for feelable and worthy.

 

here's a ? for you. ANMVQ stated that the rumor was headers weren't worth the $$$. how about high flow cats?

everything i've heard about the stock exhaust on the S's was that the oem cats choke the crap out of the flow.


so would high flow aftermarket cats be worth the cost?

 

You can do intake and exhaust first, but if you really want to gain hp, then just save up the money for supercharger kit.

 

Yes. That is where all the locked up power of the G lies. You will absolutely notice an increase in performance. Once you do all your breathing mods, get the car tuned...

 

Lol! I got into a 30 minute argument with one of my friends because he claims his "cold air intake" ( which is actually a Sri) and his "tuning chip" gives his '06 Mustang V6 an extra 50 rwhp. I almost blew a gasket listening to his BS

 

Your friend is wrong. Get whatever mod you want in whatever order you want. Get pink wheels if you want

 

I agree a 100%

 

i did headers and i only gained 8ish hp, these cars already have a header on them fml i didnt know that until i saw behind the heat shield but i was like just do it. either way 530 plus 500 install with problems but i know the shop, then 200 for an o2 sensor, and i got lucky cuz they worked hard to get them to work but i still needed to get 1 becauase they got dethreaded when they backed them out and yes they heated them up but didnt matter. so fml 1300 was not worth 8 hp, i already had hfc and catback so ther wasnt much left to gain but still

 

Exhaust and intake are the first things you should do for car mods... And headers are part of the exhaust anyways, but arent really worth replacing, unless you want to spend the money for a little HP gain.

But def do exhaust and intake asap!
