I just purchased an 09 Mustang GT and want to upgrade it.
This is my first "play" car (as my friends would put it) so I've never had the experience of upgrading a car for performance... the most I've done is put in new head units for the stereo and speakers
So... with that in mind.. I want to upgrade it and want some advice on what to get.
I want to upgrade slowly, so I can feel the difference when I add/modify something... so I would like to get a CAI, exhaust, etc... I want to get the best performance for a decent price...
I've looked at American muscle.com and got some visual stuff from them (floor mats, ect) but no performance parts. I've also seen CJ Pony Parts in Harrisburgh, PA because I'm in MD and thats pretty close to me if I just wanna drive up..
What other places are there to purchase? and where is the best deal to get upgrades?
What axel backs does everyone recommend for the nice "growl"? I want a nice growl, and some added HP (of course!). I read somewhere on here that the 09 mustangs have a larger pipe so the catbacks aren't necessary, so looking into axel backs only, unless someone has anything different to say....
What CAI is good for the price and HP? I've seen package deals with the tuners, but I have no idea how to use the tuners too..
What else can I do to give it more hp without adding the supercharger? (thats father in the future!!)
Also, I would REALLY like to upgrade the instrument cluster to the one they sell in the GT premiums... but can't seem to find anyone that sells them, and don't want to even talk to the dealer about them, but is that the only option? I'd really like to get the computer display on it too...
Love to hear feedback, what is recommended, etc...
