Hi everyone, I'm just about to start some performance upgrades to my 2015 GT 5.0. Does anyone have any insight on where to start?

The most common mods and the best bang for your buck are the big three, cold air intake, custom tune and exhaust. I put a ford racing stage 2 power pack on mine and it took care of the first two, cost me 800 for the set and another 900 for ford racing sport mufflers and x-pipe/resonator delete.

What he @I Bleed Ford Blue said.........not to hijack your thread but how much louder over stock was your exhaust with the Xpipe/res delete and sport mufflers @I Bleed Ford Blue?

A lot louder than stock, enough to piss off my neighbors at 5:15 AM when I leave for work. It's about to get louder, I just ordered a set of long tube headers to go with the x-pipe and sport mufflers.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was thinking. Just needed a little reassurance.

I got the stainless power catted set, they are made by stainless works but only come with a 2 year warranty, the trade off for less warr is you save about 450 bucks.

Hi guys,
I'm new to to Dragnet. I have a 2017 GT with PP. I added kooks long tube headers with cats and Borla S type exhaust . Also added Procharger P1X and got 625 hp at the rear wheels. Car is loud but that's all part of getting up.

Forgot to mention , with kind of power the problem is now nasty wheel hop. Now adding Steeda suspension kit to get the power to the ground. Also dropped the car 1". Hope it solves the problem.

Are you happy with with your headers? And did you go with chrome or ceramic? I was thinking about going with corsa long tubes when I decide to drop another grand plus.

Hi Mike83LLC,
Yes, I'm happy with the kooks headers. I went with the standard stainless steel. They were recommended by my builder. There is definitely a significant increase in cabin noise but they do help create an increase in power.
Best, BADD Toy

Not familiar with the Corsa set-up so I can't comment on them. It's possible my builder recommended the kooks because we were adding the Procharger.
