Welcome, mang!
Just remember what I told you about exhaust earlier
Find a set of stang shorties and an Offroad H pipe, and run your muffs with dumps (turndowns)
Then, consider the HO conversion or even an engine swap...

Exhaust, exhaust, exhaust. Biggest gains for a stock vic. 2.25 all the way back with some stang headers and h-pipe. Impala tails work great for the over the axle part.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Yes, welcome!
I have some stock Mustang headers/manifolds I can send you for your exhaust system, if that's what you want to do. I didn't pay for them, so I won't expect you to... just cover the shipping.
If you're interested, let me know. I think they'll even fit in place of your stock manifolds, if you want to go ahead and do them. Worth the $10-15 for shipping, in my opinion.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.
