Which Mods for new car ?

[iHooligan]

Hey guys I just picked up a 2017 Mustang GT Premium with only 3k miles a week ago. It’s all stock currently. I just ordered a MBRP Street Catback. What would be some other good mods? I don’t want to run a tune just yet.
What Cold Air Intake is best for no tune as well?

Thanks !

What Cold Air Intake is best for no tune?

The factory stock one, combined with an aftermarket, drop-in replacement air filter.

Really? I’ve never done that with any car. I guess it’s worth a try

Checkout this thread. I’m waiting for TKO to release specs on their filter before deciding which one to order.

If manual: steeda clutch spring

Also sound tube delete is a good one.

SCCA track day. It's 200.00 but you'll encounter every possible driving scenario in one day...

One day on track is equivalent to 1 year of driving on the street.

I do not recommend any power mods for at least 1 year into ownership so you can get an idea for what you like and what you want out of the car.

The more time you spend researching and planning up front the more money you save later

Get a factory air intake system from a 18+ GT and an E85 tune if you have E85 available in your area.

Well according to some people here on this site that is allegedly made up of enthusiasts, unless your car is paid off you shouldn't modify it at all.

I'd recommend swapping tranny and rear end fluid with the bg kit, short throw shifter, hood struts and the drop in air filter. Maybe a gt350 steering wheel if that's your thing, I liked mine on my 15.

Edit: can't believe I forgot to mention clutch spring also, as already mentioned above

^^^^^ THIS

Plus, a set of MAK cat deletes and you are golden!

I would suggest Ford's power pack 2. It really changes how the car feels, especially in sport mode.

For E85 on 2015-2017 GT don't you need new injectors ?

Thats just solid advice though...

You buy a new car with a 6 year loan. You go out get a JLT and a E85 tune. 3 months later when the car does it's first oil change they find metal shavings because Jeff who assembled your engine didn't clock the rings right. Or forgot to lube a con rod bearing.

Your service advisor decides to do a warranty claim to get you a new engine, but during the report they realize your PCM has been flashed...

Guess who's now stuck with a lawn ornament they have to pay for for the next 5 year's and 9 months...

New car take the time to learn it, plus what you think you want now may change. I bought my car in 2016. I was planning on a cobrajet intake and cams. The 2018 manifold hadn't been invented yet... Now after 3 years I know the stock manifold is the best option for what i want out of the car...

Just by waiting I just saved $2k...

While you're still making payments you need every mod to be 100% reversible and untraceable especially if its a daily driver.

And before u do any mod do a simple compression test to make sure the motors healthy.

If it's a play car that u drive twice a month do whatever... And if that's the case id tell you to trade up for a GT350 and build on that...

The GT350 IMHO is the better platform to build on... Yes the Voodoo has some issues SOME Coyotes dont have but who cares... If it's a weekend car you have time to let it sit while building the motor... Parts cost about the same so provided you dont bend the crank i would build on the gt350.
