I'm thinking of an inexpensive mod for my 15 GT,
Axleback American thunder and K&N air filter.
Will I notice any performance difference or only sound?

Maybe also available for non-premium cars too; would love a rear diffuser for my Perfromance Pack car....also a carbon fiber replacement front spoiler

Thanks Benni! Realistically speaking I would personally like to see parts like this for every model just so we have our bases covered!

Hey ChitownStang -

That's a really good question and there's a slew of AxleBack Exhaust Systems for the S550 and Flowmaster goes hand in hand on a Mustang like hitting Al's Roast Beef and then going straight to Wiener Circle :lol: (I'm a little hungry at the moment and I miss ChiFood!)

Being said both Flowmaster and K&N makes exceptional parts but they're only going to improve the sound from the rear and potentially a minimal increase under the hood. Their filters do flow somewhat better than the OEM setup but if you're looking for more performance I would take a look into a Catback System as well as a Cold Air Intake.

Let me know if you're to have any other questions at all and I'm here to help!

Hey Spartan -

Thanks so much for this! Theses are great recommendations! In regards to the GT350 parts that's not crazy at all and in time I'm confident that Ford Racing will could likely have a kit like their GT500 Conversion Kits.

Thanks so much for all of this, I appreciate it!

NP Alex. Yah after seeing that GT350, it was like Ford finished the 'missing piece' to the S550. That GT350 hood just looks better on the S550 from the side and the better view from inside is the icing on the cake. The additional things like the side vents and the hex grill in the fog area just complete the design.

Hopefully we can get some stuff like that!

Spartan - Agreed! I'd love to get my hands on one and something's telling me that we'll likely have one added to our fleet in time, I'm just unsure if Ford is going to make the appearance parts available to the public! We'll just have to wait and see!

Well if you get a GT350, just take those parts off and have them 3D scanned.

Then you can make your own modifications to fit with the underlying base S550 framing/holes IF needed. I know the GT350 has a wider front axle but otherwise things look very similar.

Alex, I see a few Roush parts…will the heat extractors be available?

18" wheel options for the Ecoboost PP / GT non-PP cars. Brake fitment and the offset are the big things here, I guess.

Listed with weight would be great since that is what most of us going to smaller wheels are looking for.

Thanks!

Louvered glass windows like the LE S550 would be awesome and I second the splash guards. They are needed badly. If done right it will be an instant purchase for me.

Back seat delete kit. Those seats are pretty useless. Might as well create a storage shelf.

How bout some drag wheels... Racestars or Welds that would be nice =)

Well when you put it like that I think that should be really easy! ;) Let us get one of the cars first and then we'll from there but there's no doubt in my mind that there's going to be a variety of places out there making parts like this!

WatchSquid -

From one apex hunter to another I know exactly what you're after and I'll make sure that this brought up. In the interim we do list wheel weights under wheel specs on our product page - If there's something specific that you're seeing that isn't listed please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll get you their weights!

Thanks for posting this up - That's a great recommendation and I'll make sure to get this added on my list here although I think there might be something in the works already!

Hey brightredlt1 - I'm reading you loud and clear on this! I'm a huge fan on the rear seat deletes anyhow! I never really had anyone in my backseats and I enjoyed the added volume.

I was hoping you'd just ask to borrow one from the show(s) for 'research' purposes. ;)

Yah can't wait to see some new things coming out. I definitely would love the sides over anything. Those side vents on the GT350 just look amazing and finish the side profile lines up front. They just look natural. If it's possible to take a current side front and then 'add those' then they'd work as is in terms of alignment holes, etc.

Will be interesting to see what's in store for the '16...only a few weeks left. Really interested on the "Cali Special" if that's true.

It will be very interesting to see how they implement that because the S550 is just so new and modern. Slapping pieces on it doesn't look right on this model...so I hope the fogs, etc are all 'modern' interpretations of the Cali special.

I'll second this....

I second the GT350 hood/fenders/fascia and the rear seat delete kit.

I would also like to add the following:

A strut tower brace for the V6.

A functional roll bar that looks as good as the CDC light bar. I know that a real roll bar would need additional bracing to be functional, but even still, there's no reason that the structural tubes can't be encased in some kind of attractive shell.

A fold down rear seat kit for the convertible, as imagined by davekro and GiddyUp15 here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20692

I'll be waiting right here with my credit card...
