Just about 6 months ago I got a 2007 v6 mustang and so far ive upgraded sound system, changed to a smaller antennae and got a 20% tint. Next i wanted to move onto the performance side and get either a CAI or a new exhaust setup. My two questions are which would you recommend first and what brand of each? Also for my CAI if i were to get a tune what brand would you guys recommend? Thanks a lot!

Do all 3! They compliment each other well.

I personally did a K&N CAI, Diablosport tune, and a custom dual exhaust setup with two GT mufflers and a bassani x pipe.

thanks for the reply echo7!

alright so I looked more into both of those brands and found:

CAI:K&N 57-2566 $294.99 - 57 Series FIPK, Air Intake / Cold Air Intake
This would be the intake for my car, 2007 V6 stang (just want to make sure)

and two tuners : V6 Mustang Custom Tuned SCT X3 Programmer
K&N 57-2566 $294.99 - 57 Series FIPK, Air Intake / Cold Air Intake

my question on these is who do you guys think is better brenspeed/sct or diablo sport and also if I got one of these tuners it looks like I would have to order a kit separately in order to be able to download tunes and also do these come with free tunes? or do i have to pay for that also? sorry im a new comer to this stuff and i just want to know the actual cost to get this all done!

My DiabloSport Tuner is made specifically for 05-06 v6 or GT mustangs and comes with pre-loaded with tunes. I was able to update the firmware on it to gain a few more tunes too. I'm sure other brands are similar. Just a FYI, I got my CAI off ebay for around 210 (new) and my tuner for around 190 (used, but unmarried)

Get the programmer/CAI from American Muscle or Brenspeed. You will get a lot better tune.
