Default 2007 v6 mustang What now?

I have a v6 automatic 2007 mustang. I am thinking about CAI, a Tuner, gears, and exhaust, but don't really know where to start. Any help, and information about these things would be a lot of help. I don't want exhaust that sounds really loud or obnoxious, and I don't want anything to be harmful to the transmission or the car in general. If anyone thinks maybe i should start off with more/different things, let me know! Thanks.

Surf around this section for awhile and you'll see what others have done. Intake, tune, T-lok w/ gears and exhaust are the common mods.

Welcome aboard!

Default 1st mods

My 1st mod was a single (V6) Flowmaster American Thunder axleback exhaust. It sounds great! The GT takeoff is cheaper but doesnt sound as good...

Default Cai

A CAI and a good tune is a good first step, then build from there. I had a C&L CAI and an 87 tune and picked up noticeable difference in hp then I added JBA hdrs and a true dual exh ( GT take-off ) the end result 214 rwhp and 253rwtq that is about a 30-35 hp increase.If your interested I have my CAI for sale for 100.00 plus shipping, I went to a supercharger ( X charger ) the CAI is powder coated mirror black.
