Hi all. New to stangnet and mustangs. Have a 2011 GT. basically all stock except a 373 rear. Have some plans for it, just not sure what yet. What kind of mods do you guys and girls do without breaking the bank?

Make the mods you think will stay with the car up to your goals, for example you will probable need an exhaust system for the life of the car, so pick the headers, mid-pipe and axle-back you want and do them. You will also need wheels for the life of the car, so find the wheels and tires you like best and upgrade those.

Good idea. I'm going to wait until the tires I have now need to be replaced and then go with a bigger tire. All they do is spin. Exhaust is next.

The best mod to make without breaking the bank is getting a tuner. SCT and BAMA are the main ones I see. I believe they're all the same except with a different company name slapped on it. It definitely opens up the potential of what your vehicle already has the ability to do. It also fine tunes what work you've already had done or will have done in the future. It's a great device.
