2006 Mustang GT Mod List???

[DrumSTW3]

I just bought a new '06 GT Coupe (Auto) and here is my xmas list. Happy home from Iraq to me!!!

1) Cervini's Side Exhaust (uses Magnaflow Mufflers) Or Borla Catback (140135)
2) JLT CAI ::Done::
3) 3.73 Gears
4) Saleen HIDs ::Done::
5) Borla Long Tube Headers
6) Various Body Mods (Cervini's Quarter Window Louvres, California Dream Hood, Roush front end.)
7) Pioneer AVIC-Z1 DVD/Nav or Pioneer AVIC-D3
8) 2x JL Audio 10W7 w/ 2x JL Audio 500/1 (Already have these, just need to install)
9) Boston Z6 (front) and Boston Pro (Rear and Center) Speakers
10) JL Audio 500/5
11) 2 20" wheels that match my stock 18"s (18s in front and 20s in the back)
12) Glassback Roof

As you can see, most of these mods are kinda for fun, not "performance". I might supercharge it at some point in the future, when it's not a daily driver, but for now, I enjoy my 23 MPG. Any other ideas, comments, or advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda new to the idea of modifying a perfectly good and brand new car!!! If anyone has an SCT tuner, or any of these parts theyre selling, let me know...

I'm also thinking about doing the glassback roof. As you can see, most of these mods are kinda for fun, not "performance". I might supercharge it at some point in the future, when it's not a daily driver, but for now, I enjoy my 19 MPG. Any other ideas, comments, or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome back.
Your mods are a good start.
Dont wait on a s/c too long.
Find someone up there or come to the valley or tuscon and get a tune on that gt.

Any recommedations for good shops? What do i need done?

All of the JBA headers I've installed didn't fit very well. They normally hit the pass. side frame. The ones from Ford Motorsports fit like a glove, I haven't had any problems with those. Watch out for the cold air kits, most of the 05 and up stangs run lean once those are installed with a good exhaust. As long as you get it tuned afterwards you'll be fine. With an automatic I'ld recommend getting it tuned anyway it'll be alot more fun to drive. JMHO

i too would suggest a tune, and if your gonna have it tuned i would hit up devin at performance solutions. he tuned my cobra, and i have totally impressed with the tune in my car. and he tunes for longevity and driveability, not just for numbers.

[Indy]

I agree (about Devin)

How do I get in touch with Devin? I can't find a listing anywhere for Performance Solutions in AZ. Let me know. What other kind of work does he do (paint, mechanical, electronic)? Thanks

With the BBK intake and their throttle body for that matter you dont need a tune when you install them. We have had Anthem Motors next door install some JBA headers and they fit fine without any problems. They are just as nice or nicer than the SSW headers we have seen. Just a little FYI if you go with a intake that dosnt need a tune like BBK,ARAID,and Roush and use Diablo's tuner the car will run like crap. We have had a couple of customers do that and the car wont idle. Once they took the tune out or moddified the tune them selfs it would run good. On the other hand the intakes that come with the diablo tuner run very good because they are tuned for that specific intake.
