That air intake and conical filter are not stock. As for the rest of it, There's no way to know based upon a picture of the top of your engine.
What I CAN tell you is that it is SUPER COMMON for folks to buy these cars and do three things right off the bat.
1. Swap the OEM airbox
2. Swap the OEM cat-back exhaust for an after market
3. Put a programmable tuner on the car
Do they help? Meh... debatable depending on what they got. Does it make it louder? Ummm... yeah, that's why they do it in the first place.
Will you impress the Mustang world with all the new found horse power? Probably not, and it's just as likely that the parts are not as good a combo as the stock parts were and the car lost a couple horses (potential for poor exhaust scavenging).

Yea, that's definitely not the stock intake.
Have you gotten underneath the back of the car to see if it has mufflers or a mid-pipe?
I would imagine with that intake that it's got mufflers on it, too. Check and see if the mufflers say something like Flowmaster or Borla on them

Take it in for an oil change and while its up in the air on the rack
