Like you said there are better setups out there. But that is a good setup. I don't know why they through in a oil filter.
I have the FRPP Performance package and tune in my 2008 GT 5 speed. There is a very noticeable improvement. And I love the sound. I have been driving with the windows down especially when there is a good sound reflection surface near by. Its not loud and in normal cruise there is no noticeable increase in the cabin. There is a change when your on it though. There was a drop in MPG if your like to get on it. But if you drive it like the Owners Manuel says. Taking it easy, the MPG is about the same. The other thing about the FRPP package is that it has a California Air Resources Board (CARB) EO number sticker so it will pass smog when that comes around. So you won't have to pull your parts off and re flash to pass the test later on. Plus it says Ford Racing on it and the open air box molds in very nicely and seals against the inside of the hood. Its the set up on the Bullit. Speaking of which... I so wish Ford would have set up the GT with many of the bullit drive train parts. I didn't buy a bullit because it was on a Premium trim model and I didn't want to pay for the leather seats and other expensive interior upgrades. Just the running gear thank you....Anyone have experience with the FRPP Power Upgrade Package for '05-'09 GTs? Appears to include CAI, tune, new mufflers and oil filter. I understand that there may be better combos available but I like the idea of not risking voiding my warranty, as well as the idea of using Ford parts. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
Your correct, the new FRPP for the GT is 85mm. I am still trying to listen for that whooshing sound I have read about. The sound must be subtile.It's also standard on the Shelby GT. The CAI is the best looking one out there imho. Mine is an '07 so it has the 90mm one, but I think they might of changed it to 85mm now....don't quote me on that though.
It will certainly give you horsepower that you will feel. The mufflers were a little quiet for my taste, but it does have a good sound at WOT. Tune is slightly rich for safety.
Are you talking about the Shelby GT or the GT 500?This is the setup on the Shelby GT; why did the Shelby get hit with a $1000 gas guzzler tax? For about $3,000 in parts a GT can become a Shelby GT; a savings of about $10,000.

First to have a warranty on the FRPP you need to have it installed by a Ford Racing Dealer, not just a Ford dealer. Also the warranty is only for 12/12,000 miles on the FRPP parts. You will not have a 3/36,000 factory warranty on them. Even though it is FRPP parts, Ford factory warranty conciders them third party. Just so you know. There are better setups for the money. Heck the FRPP CAI is just the filter. Most other CAIs eplace the inlet tube too.Anyone have experience with the FRPP Power Upgrade Package for '05-'09 GTs?

I am not talking bling I'm talking go. One can get a 2009 GT with 18" wheels and 3.55 gears for less then 24K with incentives. Have the dealer install these parts and one has a full warranty.Hardly. Average price for a loaded GT(which most SGT's are) is around $30,000. Adding $10,000 puts you at $40,000. Most SGT's sticker for around $37.
Add up all the parts AND labor costs and you'd be right around $37K.
According to Ford the parts must be purchased from a Ford dealer authorized to sell Ford Racing parts. Any Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealer can install them.First to have a warranty on the FRPP you need to have it installed by a Ford Racing Dealer, not just a Ford dealer.

Perhaps with cloth and roll down windows, etc. Compare apples to apples. There are Shelby GT's that were available with cloth and they were signifigantly lower as well. You could get one of those for close to $30.I am not talking bling I'm talking go. One can get a 2009 GT with 18" wheels and 3.55 gears for less then 24K with incentives.

It shouldn't have. It's just a GT with some Shelby inspired parts. Unless it was mistaken for the GT 500I am talking about the Shelby GT.

I have a fully loaded 2006 Mustang GT with mods.Hardly. Average price for a loaded GT(which most SGT's are) is around $30,000. Adding $10,000 puts you at $40,000. Most SGT's sticker for around $37.

It's because of the gears.This is the setup on the Shelby GT; why did the Shelby get hit with a $1000 gas guzzler tax? For about $3,000 in parts a GT can become a Shelby GT; a savings of about $10,000.
It's because of the gears.
FRPP recommends 4.10:1 gears for a manual and 3.73:1 gears for an auto. The Shelby GT has 3.73:1 manual and 3.55:1 for an atuo.
I don't know for certain, but I think Ford was forced to compromise on the gears in order to improve fuel economy. I'm sure CAFE influenced their decision. Too bad they weren't able to avoid the gas guzzler tax.
In 2007 the GT had EPA MPG of 17/25 and the Shelby GT 16/23 that was enough to put it in the gas guzzler tax area. I just looked at the pictures I took when I was thinking about buying one. The GT 500 had a $1700 guzzler tax I believe.It shouldn't have. It's just a GT with some Shelby inspired parts. Unless it was mistaken for the GT 500
