Greetings!
I've recently been learning as much as I can about the Coyote powered Mustangs. Tonight I decided to pull the trigger and brought home a 13 GT Premium.
With that said I have a few mods on my list but I'm really reconsidering my exhaust choice after a lot of the reviews I'm hearing about Pypes products. The price is right but the quality appears to represent "you get what you pay for."
I was originally planning to do a Pypes full catback and a pypes offroad x pype. After the horror stories I've read and the customer service someone received after purchasing a pair of their long tubes they can give their stuff away for free and I won't put it on my car.
I am now leaning towards the JBA off road X pipe and a Borla S type exhaust. Is there going to be any significant difference in power gains from a complete cat back vs the Borla axle backs? My guess is that the significant power gains are going to come from removing the cats and the cat back exhaust isn't going to make any difference. Am I wrong here? I'd hate to shell out the difference for the complete cat back if it won't make any difference.
My current mod plans are going to be a SCT tuner w/ Bama tune, 3:73 gears, Ford Racing LOK LSD, JBA Off Road X pipe and either a Borla cat back or Borla axle back. Is the K&N drop in filter any good? I've heard mixed results on K&N's drop ins and what I've read here has lead me to believe the factory CAI on the car is as good if not better than any of the aftermarket CAI's available, plus I'm concerned about an open element filter with the open hood vents. If I can get away with the Borla axle backs I'll also pickup UCA's, LCA's and a panhard bar.
Also, I went with the 19" x 8.5" wheel upgrade thinking the wider wheel would prevent me from having to upgrade the rims early on to keep the power on the ground. Is an 8.5" wide tire going to be enough for a 460ish hp car?
Thanks in advance!
