Howdy. returning to the site after a long layoff. I'm on my7th Mustang but the first that I decided to make modifications to.
It's a new 2012. I'm in Calif. so I can't do too much to my car. I opted for very simple mods. Since Ford wants to be quick to void warranties for aftermarket products, I chose to make very basic mods with more to come as the warranty expires.
So I decided to do just the K&N air filter and GT500 exhaust.
I tossed in the K&N the other day expecting absolutely nothing noticeable and I was VERY surprised to feel it significantly punchier between 2,500 and 3,500. I prefer low end torque. I thought to myself, there is no way an air filter can make this much of a difference. But after a day of driving I am convinced it made a difference.
Today I put on my axle back mufflers and now she is flat until 4,000. rpm. Am I imaging things or can these simple changes really make a difference. I'm kinda wishing I kept the stock mufflers on now. It sounds great but I liked the kick I was getting off the line.
