Another helpful video, thanks! Our picks are almost exactly the same! My picks for top five mods (ok 9 really) would be; 1. For manual transmissions, Steeda clutch release spring 35 ft-lb vs stock 150 ft-lb and makes clutch release much smoother, and in turn much smoother shifting, night and day difference, feels closer to what previous Mustang clutch release pressure was at. Only $15, well worth it. 2. Cat-back exhaust with x or h-pipe. Need to get rid of the highly restrictive resonator and mufflers and a true cat-back is good for at least 15 rwhp and torque. My pick for cost-performance is MBRP XP street, stainless steel version for around $650 3a. Cold air intake with closed box design. I like the Airaid MXP design but they're all pretty much the same. I would avoid the open air design due to increased heat soak among other issues. $365 for full CAI or just get or basic K&N mesh drop-in filter for $55. 3b. Throttle Body Spacer. Install it while you're doing the cold air intake. Improves low end throttle response. Various designs, I use SR Motorsports. $100 3c. Sound tube delete. It's ugly and isn't needed, especially after installing a nice exhaust system. Your engine bay will thank you. Blowfish makes a kit for $10 or simply find the plugs at your local hardware store. 4a. Lowering springs, Eibach Pro-kit, SR Motorsports or CJ Pony. $180 to $260 plus install and alignment cost. 4b. Bullet aluminum Hub-centric wheel spacers, 25mm. Looks great, widens stance. American Muscle, CJ Pony or Garage-line are a few that carry quality spacers. $170 for four. 5a. Strut tower bar. Helps tighten up front end flex, should be standard on all GT's. I recommend Ford Racing which also comes with the upper C-brace. $180 5b. Oil catch can. Some dealers may give you grief about this mod when it comes to engine warranty issues. Make sure your dealer is ok with it before install, if not find another dealership. Happy modding! :)
For Coyotes I would recommend the PMAS over any other intake, far as EcoBoost's go CAI isn't even worth it maybe 3-4 HP you'd be better off with an airaid tube and stock box with drop in K&N filter. If you are staying NA and wanting power for the 5.0 I would recommend E85, Cobra Jet mani and longtubes those will really wake the car up.
Great videos! Stupid question, if I buy wheels that are different size than what’s on the car, can I change the ratio settings or do I have to take it into the shop? If I go spacers, what width works best and what are the ones with the longer bolts that are supposed to be better than regular hub centric ones? Thanks!
Had my gt for just over a month and have done intake cat-back and tune . And jlt catch can . Just need to get the springs , but scared I'll be scraping everywhere I go . Do you have issues with that ?
One of the first and cheapest mods should be to change your interior and trunk lighting. Switch the factory lights for a good set of LED's.
Yeah, that was a hard one to leave off of the list. But, definitely a mod worth doing.

Yeah, for manuals I would agree with you about the spring.
Did your friend with the supercharger do the clutch spring change?
Digging the baby making music. Great info thanks.
LOL! Thanks for watching!

Where did you get the white /red engine dress up kits.? Battery cover , .engine plenum, valve covers. Very nice touch!

What exhaust system/setup do you recommend to be heard from 5 miles away. I want it to be extremely loud.
Corsa Extremes with no cats will probably do the job!
GT 350 manifold GT 350 throttle body GT 350 JLT CAI tune headers no cats 3 inch exhaust GT 350 style rims
Would coil overs be better and lowering spring or the opposite way? Just curious has to what your opinion is i have heard likes for both options.
Depends on how much you want to spend. Coil overs are definitely a nicer option, but more expensive.

I only have scraping issues because I have the Cervini's chin spoiler. Before that I never scraped.
I made some appearances 😂😂
What wheels you got on the white 5.0
CDC Outlaw's
oil separator... gtfooh; change your oil regulary... catback, wheels and springs.; honorable mention: supercharger
Changing your oil has nothing to do with the purpose of the oil separator.
