    What next?

    Oh, also, Steeda Underdrive pulleys can add a little power, too. :nice:

    What next?

    An aluminum driveshaft is always a good choice, IMO. Saving weight and rotational mass is very helpful to your HP. Do you have a short throw shifter? You didn't mention one. Obviously it won't increase horsepower, but it does make the car easier to drive. You could add an intake...

    shifter recommendation

    I'd really only go with Tri-Ax or MGW. I had the Tri-Ax on my '01 and it was great. I have the MGW on my '10 and it's also great. In the early 2000's, the only real options were Tri-Ax, Pro5.0, and Hurst. Everyone I knew got the Tri-Ax.

    new owner of 2011 GT and need exhaust help

    Funny story, there was a motorcycle cop sitting with his back to me in a speed trap on the side of the road. I hadn't noticed him yet, but when he heard my exhaust, he stuck his hand out and made the "slow down" gesture, which I promptly did. No ticket. :nice: Thanks, loud exhaust! :D

    new owner of 2011 GT and need exhaust help

    I had 'packs on my old '01 and they are very loud. You don't have to worry about making conversation with the passenger on the interstate and cell phone calls are almost impossible. It was awesome. :nice::flag: I'm actually going to go with a full Borla exhaust this time, complete with the...

    Is a catback only good for HP improvement or mostly sound?

    Yeah, pretty much only good sound. You need to work at the front end of the car if you want to make power. L/Ts, X, intake, manifold, computer tune, etc is where the power is.

    RAM air intake. By WMS

    Then I really don't see how that would be helpful at all. As mentioned above, it's not even ram air. It's just a weird looking, expensive, CAI. If you want ram air, you could get a shaker, or I believe cervinis is working on a ram air system to go with their hood. Either one would be better...

    Has Ford Racing fixed the 3v intake???

    I believe Ford issued released a statement that the flexing was normal and to be expected. Ford Racing Performance Parts See the blue part at the bottom. There are other companies that make intake manifolds. This is what I'm looking at: 2005+ C&L 3-VALVE MUSTANG INTAKE MANIFOLD...

    What should I look for? What year to get?

    Ah, I see. Well a fake hood scoop and a shaker are very different things, my friend. ;) I believe those hood scoops were dealer options that could be added on. Personally, I'm not big on having fake scoops, but if you like it, go for it. You want the 3.55s. Unless you KNOW you'll be...

    What should I look for? What year to get?

    Hey Ben, welcome to the world of Mustangs! First, no Mustangs currently have a "shaker" hood from the factory. The last one was the Mach 1 a few years back. The 2010 - 2012 do have a different hood, but it's not a shaker. For the cars you listed, without knowing anything about what...

    RAM air intake. By WMS

    What does the hood look like? How does air get in? At this point, I'd rather go with a Shaker.
