Howdy all, this is my first post on this forum (longtime member on SVTP, and others). Been posting over there for a while and it seems like there is a little more focused attention on the S550 here, wonder why? Anyways...
So I have 2017 GT Manual with Performance Pack. I bought the car about 18 months ago with 6500 miles on it, now has 7700. Since I've owned it I was under the impression that it just had a Roush Axle-Back, but I always thought it was awful loud for that so I got under it recently and discovered it's the full Cat-Back (w/xpipe), now the volume makes sense. Otherwise, no performance mods beside a shifter.
All that said I've been saving up some cash in anticipation of the Black Friday sales this year for some mods. So the question is, how would you mod this car with a budget of 5k or less? The car is NOT a DD and never sees the dragstrip. However, I cannot rule it out on occasion, as well as perhaps an autocross session.
Below are the options I'm considering (car is out of warranty)...
Any input you can provide would be super helpful. Just not sure what's safe and what's not on these Gen2 Coyotes.

Below are the options I'm considering (car is out of warranty)...
- Bolt Ons (will these make a substantial difference?)
- Headers
- CAI, Tune (93 octane, no E85)
- Unsure about 18 mani...everything I've seen says the stock mani outperforms the 18 mani below 6500 rpm, especially torque. Since this is a street car.....
- Forced Induction (I know this will...lol)
- Used S/C kit (obvious choice)
- PD Blower - Prefer VMP or Roush due to price
- Centri - Car has 3.73 gears (not changing) so would a centri be a better choice?
- Used Turbo kit (very enticing...)
- Most likely the Hellion Street Sleeper kit (may even splurge for a new one), what about the On3 kit?
- Used S/C kit (obvious choice)
