Ok so here is a little about my self. im 18 and live in new jersey! i just bought a 03 mustang gt on 9/11 it has 73k miles on it. and as of now i just want to make if a little faster. but a little confused on what to get and what is worth it. as of now i have 300 but that will be giong to get the car checked out (brakes are squeeking) and then getting a tune up for the car. so anyway Here was my plan for the mods. and in order what to get.
Please tell me if i should get something or not getting it.

First off i have an SLP exhaust also it has pirelli pzero tires i have no idea if they are good
Now for want!
cold air intake
3.73 gears(or 4.10) cant make up my mind.
chip buy with gears
short shifter.

And this is my dd.

 

wheere in jersey do you live

 

Save your cash and don't bother w/ the CAI. Also, ditch the chip, get a tuner since it's more flexible. Other than that, those are good mods to start w/.

 

you have a full SLP exhaust??and hes right dont waste on a chip get a tuner....as far as gears go with 3.73 for a everyday car 4.10s your wasting gas and it will start to sound annoying after awhile...if you plan on using it as a street/strip car you wont evn get to the higher gears to use 4.10s...if you want a really good CAI go with JLT they make some of the best ones as a personnal pref

 

I suggest 4.10s. Got em in my auto (driven daily in the summer) and I cant even tell the difference as far a gas mileage. As for performance however, I dropped 3/10 as compared to the stock 3.27s. I dont know about the sound though...I cant hear it over my exhaust set up

 

what kinda exhuast you got??

 

live in ocean township. near asbury belmar area!!

as for as that i beleive it is a full exhaust but not totally sure as i bought the car and really never checked it out. that is on my to do list as with many other.

as far as racing i will not be goign to the strip or anything the only time i would race is my friend or off a red light or on a highway when someone flys by be but other then that their should not be too much racing going on

well it is my dd and i really dont want to make my gas milleage any worse so i guess im going to go with the 3.73. and ok ill just switch the chip with the tuner and i will buy the chip and the gears at the same time!

and y do u not suggest to get a cold air intake??

 

Don't listen to TiM<02GT>MeR, get a JLT CAI.

 

ok thanks so i am glad i picked out good first mods to do.

anyway off topic but i was at my friends house and their neighbor has a brand new charger R/t. i was thinking about how i would do against him. or even after i get all those mods in.

 

Does that one have the hemi or no? I forget.

 

ooo man i think soo if i rember correctly cause i was looking at one earlier this month.

and i was also looking at the bbk intake is that any good or should i just buy the JLT one??

 

JLT, 'nuff said.

Well if it's got the hemi and it's an auto, you might stand a chance off of the line, but once it gets going it hauls. Manual, you're screwed. No hemi, manual, screwed. no hemi, stick, good race.

 

I said go with the JLT CAI, read it again.

 

Ok so im giong with the JLT now just need to save a little bit. and hope fully get all those mods by next summer. my parents my be getting the new camero(their not getting the SS). so if they get that man im giong to need to get more mods just so i can beat my parents car. Me and my dad are very compeditive in stuff like this.

thanks for all the advice

 

lol, sorry. I'm too tired today. I thought it said something about don't waste your time with a CAI....man I need rest.

 

YOU'RE THE BI*** I WANTED TO QUOTE. I GOTCHYA NOW, SUCKA!

 

Bassman97 said dont bother with the intake

Just to clear everything up

 

loll its all good...it was someone else idk why you wouldnt ever get one anyway its a easy quick bolt on for cheap

 

And JLT kicks serious honkytonkbadonkadonk.

 

ive been trying to get an intake for couple of weeks now i just hope i can get one very soon since i have the money
Yess thats what i think. Man im just about to ask for some of this stuff for xmas. it would be great.

 

I said to not bother w/ a CAI because it's a waste of money. Just buy yourself a K&N filter and remove the silencer, BAM, instant $40 CAI.

 

+1 it not worth the cost, trust me I have one and I wish I saved the money. For my friends with mustangs I always get them to just get a used K&N filter from eBay or new if found cheap and pull the silencer.

 

ok soo i was looking on the comp and i saw a RAM intake??

what is the difffrence in the ram intake then a cold air intake?

 

If you get a tuner, you don't need a chip as the tuner can calibrate the speedo for the gear change. Have fun, and once you start you won't be able to stop with the upgrades. It's addicting!

 

yes i could tell already and i did not buy anything!!
i narrowed my first mod list to that it was very had. but hope get all that soon!!
