Intercooler: out of the list you have I would say most would go with levels, however ATM is the most popular option right now

Exhaust: love borla for there no drone setups so good choice

Tune: Cobb with an Adam tune for the most power

CAI: Can't lie to you hear and claim you will notice a power gain...they are strictly for sound/looks on these cars. I got the MMR on sale and I love it for those reasons but didn't notice any gains. I would save this mod for last and put your money elsewhere for now.

BOV: not sure if you mean you are venting the stock one to atmosphere if so it's cool for a while but get an aftermarket BOV it will sound better and doesn't do any annoying noises while cruising like the stock one does.

Wheel spacers: can't comment on these as I picked up a set of GT PP wheels on here for a good price. They look much better then the factory wheels and are wider.

Lowering springs: i would go with a mild drop 1"-1 1/2" drop. I had 2 inch or more springs on other cars and while it looked good the ride quality suffered. The choice of springs can be hard as most people will recommend whatever they are using so it really comes down to which brand you like.

Intercooler: Levels Is what I'd go with, but if you're tracking It probably ATM because of the design.

Exhaust: Borla, Roush quad tips or the GT350 variation for the ecoboost since Agency Power hasn't released their exhaust yet..

Tune: Cobb with Adam for sure, my car use to run It and had no Issues, just took It off to avoid any warranty Issues or conflicts If my car had blown up or taken a shit for any reason.

Cai: JLT or Full race I'd say for money/sound/performance.

Bov: This is probably something I'd do last as I'd probably rather get a waste gate acutator or something first.

Wheel spacers: On stock rims probably 1" from american muscle great quality and my car runs them right now, but you will get more road rash/chips.

Lower springs: Steeda for a good stance and 1" drop however I run CJPP springs for the 1.5" drop in the front and 1.1" - 1.0" back drop for an old school muscle car aggressive stance.

Intercooler: I went through this painful choice also. I'm not sure if you saw the spreadsheet that someone compiled before, that was very nice. I ended up selecting the ATM and love it!

Still deciding on the color combo with my grille delete, my radiator is silver how would i paint that black? Not sure what to tell you there, I'd worry about whatever paint you put there chipping and being a constant maintenance thing. I'm sure it would look great at first though.


Exhaust:
I currently have muffler delete, love it, when time comes im buyin the borla ataks! Can't advise you there, that is up to each person's preference. I don't think I've heard a EB yet that I like the sound of the exhaust. I chose the Magnaflow Street because I thought it was the least obnoxious and sounded a little sportier than the stock.

Tune:
Cobb tune will be installed tomorrow
Since you are already buying the hardware, I would STRONGLY advise you to go with Tune+ and get a tune for it from Adam! It is night and day different over the canned tune that comes with the hardware.

CAI:

Not sure about bang for your buck, are you just changing it to change it? I didn't want the extra noise. I chose the AirAide because it kept the factory closed style, low noise but slightly improved the airflow with the bigger opening. I think overall, CAIs on this platform help very little.

BOV:
i have VTA
There were limited options when I selected mine. I went with Turbosmart because I like the sound. I don't know a lot about turbos but it seems all of these aftermarket BOVs give some low boost flutter that is supposed to not be harmful but to me, it just doesn't sound right. It seems like there must be a better way to do it.


Wheel Spacers:
was thinking Eibach, 35mm
I went with the AM 1" (~25mm) and have had them on the car for over 6 months, probably 8,000 miles with no issues and love the look. It's definitely more aggressive as the wheels and tires are more flush with the fenders. The front is very good, just slightly inside the fenders. In the rear, the wheel itself is just barely inside the fender and the bulge of the tire sidewall comes out past the fender just slightly. I would think 35mm might be too much, especially for the back.

Lots of choices and it really depends on what you will do with the car. If you are going to road race it (track), I'd go with the Steeda progressive springs. They shared a lot of the information on what they did with their springs to make their progressives so great. It was a huge improvement for handling, the ride comfort was actually better than stock and it gave me that raked stance just slightly, see pic below.

Levels all day over those. It's one of the best out there and is priced better too!

You grab some paint cans and have at it.


Exhaust:

The ATAKs are loud, if you plan to go catless. I'd consider what you're going to do for a downpipe.


Tune:

Good. Don't forget an upgraded front mount and colder plugs next.


CAI:

Buy a Green panel filter. The stock air box is plenty sufficient enough for the stock turbo. There's no point in wasting $200+ for a noise maker. If you simply can't resist though, get one of the CAIs that has a plastic intake tube (much better heat resistance) and a sealed box.


BOV:
i have VTA

Hisssssssssss! Lol


Wheel Spacers:

Most people go with 25mm on all four corner and it's perfect. The wheels will sit flush with the edge of the fender. It'll look great.

Someone else will have to recommend this. I'm going with coilovers. However, from what I've read, around 1"-1.5" looks and rides great.

Intercooler: I may go levels after all, would charge pipes be worth adding with the purchase or can I always buy them later, also if I buy levels IC would labor be the same to add the pipes ? And if I buy the pipes can I use mishimoto pipes or do they need to be the same brand...I assume if it's the same size it would fit.

Exhaust: this will be done after my intercooler/grille delete install and window tint. Just in my opinion Borla seems to be superior in quality and sound but it's so opinion based. And if I did go Borla ID get their down pipe too...not sure if I want catted or catless...I live in Portland aka DEQ checks. I know it would be simple to swap em out but such an inconvenience.

CAI: yes MMR seems to be the cheapest at 199

Blow off valve: yeah I'm currently venting to atmosphere yeah that thing is annoying when it does it at cruise but this and the CAI will be purchased together

Tune: I do realize that Tune + is superior in everyway so I'm going to stick with the Cobb shelf tune because I had Cobb surgline (their shop) order it for me and I'll get adams once I have my intercooler installed.

Springs: this is the toughest for me. I like eibach, 2 inches sounds perfect for the look but bad for driving daily. I like the HR springs are like 1.5 and 1.7 drop which is a perfect medium between 1 and 2 sounds like springs are all pretty similar the only difference is the drop I could be wrong tho. I'd be using stock struts and shocks. I'll prob throw the strut tower brace in there for shits and giggs.

Has anyone had luck with the Ford racing strut mounts that just came out? And does the PP eco come with those ?

Wheel spacers: I went with the Billet, 1.5 inch American muscle ones. The eibachs were the best balance at 1.3 inches (35mm) but also the most costly, I justified the Billet quality if they are offered on AM. 119 vs like 210 for more width.

I appreciate your input all. Getting tuned tomorrow at 2 PM at Cobb surgeline.


juben, when you said front mount were you talking about strut tower brace ? And colder plugs I'm sure I could just order from Adam right ?

I really like the hks BOV, there is a guy running it in Adams Facebook page with video and it sounds sick!!

Cani please list your body cosmetic mods?

 

[i4gains]

Ya I have a stock ingot silver PP ecoboost the front pony is blacked out with plati dip and that's the extent of the cosmetic mods I've done

 

[Busser48]

Sorry that was to jbailer

 

[Busser48]

Looks like side scoops, quarter lovers and wing, I just want exacts.

 

[jbailer]

Cani please list your body cosmetic mods?

Cervinis: Rear Spoiler, Chin Spoiler and 1/4 Window Louvers
Roush: Side Scoops
American Muscle: 1" Wheel Spacers
Plus all of the Diode Dynamics LED lighting

 

[i4gains]

Do you have a side shot to show how much the wheel spacers make the wheels pop out ?

 

[i4gains]

Just installed the Cobb tune can't wait for the intercooler and grille delete

It doesn't make the wheels pop out. In the front, the wheels and tires are both just inside the fender. In the rear, the wheel is barely inside the fender and the bulge of the tire just barely goes out past the fender. It's hard to capture in pics. Here's 2 I had on my hard drive.
