Hey all, I am the proud owner of a 2005 V6 Stang. When I made the purchace, it already had a dual exhaust. I am just wondering what to do next. The budget is 650 for now and, to me, the best bet would be a CAI and tuner. Thoughts? Other routes? Let me know. Thanks a bunch.

Welcome to the forum, friend!

You don't need any suggestions, you already know what you need!

Get that tuner and intake and you will REALLY love your 6'er!


She sounds great, let us know if you have any questions in the future!

Thanks for the reply. So you would do that before upgrading the throttle body or gears or anything else? Thanks a bunch.

We would definitely recommend that you upgrade the CAI and get a tuner to properly calibrate for it. You're looking at an additional 30RWHP and 30RWTQ just by upgrading these, as well as night/day difference in throttle response, driveability and all around performance. Give the Bama team a call any time during the business hours in my signature under Bama direct and they'll hook you up!
