Flowmaster makes a good product for the price, and it's hard to beat the sound. Several good pulley companies, BBK, Mac, and Steeda to name a few. I went with the Steeda pullies. Ford Racing and Performance has a good gear set, and from what I am told have no warranty problems, installed 3.73's on mine since I have an automatic. I built a custom cold air induction kit, after reading an article on Stangnet, out of 3" Sch. 40 plastic pipe and fittings. Materials cost about $20 plus the K&N filter. Ran it thru the fender well to port in my front grill. Painted the pipe with black vinyl paint and folks don't even notice it. Not as flashy as the chrome or aluminum tubing, but sometimes I like being a sleeper. Many good manufactures for headers, but I think the biggest concern would need to be the ceramic coating. Hope this helps. Happy modding.

Post Home Made CAI

Your welcome!

Hey if your interested in the home made cold air induction, you might want to check out a couple of articles on Mustang World.com. Go to the How-To Section and look for these articles:

Home Made Cold Air Induction
MAF Adapter To Home Made Cold Air System

Sorry, I gave you the wrong website earlier. (posted as Stangnet)
