hey guys. welcome to this episode of hot lap. in this episode, we're gonna be looking atwhat we call the top five starter mods. i get a lot of questions from you guys abouthaving a new car and what i would recommend the person purchase as their first few mods. so, here it is. we're gonna look and discuss what i wouldpersonally suggest as the most popular and beneficial first few mods that people tendto go with once they have their new s550 gt mustang.

of course, these are just suggestions andyou always have a ton of different options when it comes to brands and even specificmods. it all depends on what you like best and whatexactly you want from your car. but, if you're having a hard time figuringout where to start or you're just curious, then stick around and see. so i've picked out five mods, one of whichi'll show you is on my own personal car. we'll show you an example of each mod, justso you can get a good look of a before and after and see how it can change your car. with that said, this video is more for thoseof you with a stock 2015-2017 gt.

whether you've had it for a while and you'reready to start modding now or you're just getting into the car. i know it's only getting easier to pick upa 2015-2017 with the arrival of the 2018s. you can get a great deal if you plan yourtiming right and you take advantage of the release of the 2018, and that's not a badthing if you ask me. if anything, it leaves you with a little bitof wiggle room and some extra cash to start modding with, right? so here are some of my suggestions in no particularorder on what you should consider doing to your car first.

the first mod that we'll start off talkingabout is one that a lot of mustang owners choose to do early on and that is loweringsprings. when it comes to lowering springs, they canbe hard to shop for. you have a ton of different choices on thesite and a handful of different brands. and so you have to shop with your end goalin mind. some people shopping for lowering springsjust want to get the car as low as possible. some people want only a little bit of lowering,but they're looking more for handling performance instead. some people want both the looks improvementsand the handling benefits and some people

just want a drag spring. these springs are the eibach sportline springsand they lower the car about 1-1/2 inches in the front and 1.3 inches in the rear. that makes them one of the most aggressivesprings you can pick up when it comes to drop. it doesn't really get much lower than thisfrom a lowering spring. eibach sportlines tend to be the go-to springwhen it comes to getting your mustang as low as possible and customers love them. these have a progressive spring rate whichhelps keeps a nice ride quality, so even though you're lowering the car with a heavy drop,you don't have to worry about too rough of

a ride quality. these springs are firmer than the factorysprings of course, and you can expect a change in handling right away just from the springsalone. you can thank the lower center of gravityand those firmer spring rates for that. so you're getting both benefits here withthe lowering springs, looks, and performance. you're looking at spending a little over $250bucks for these. and the install for lowering springs on ans550 isn't too difficult. you will need a spring compressor for thefront springs so you can disassemble the spring and strut assembly and you'll need to lowerthe subframe in the rear so you can get to

those rear springs. it might sound a little crazy for a firsttime wrencher, but it's not bad. the irs subframe lowers, along with the rearshock mount and you can slide the springs out. and of course, you should always get a freshalignment after you install springs. take a look and see what a difference thedrop makes in the car. the next big mod that's usually at the topof the modification list is exhaust. and on this car, we have the kooks axle-back. take a listen to it quick so you can hearwhat it sounds like.

once again, you have a product category thathas so many different options. you have sound to consider, materials, andof course, price point too. sound is usually the most important to peopleand of course, that is subjective. the kooks axle-back is my choice here becausei think that it's an axle-back that has a good balance. it's got a balance of volume and tone andby that i mean it's louder, but not too loud and it has volume and tone without being tooraspy. plus, i really like the mufflers in this axle-back. i have a kooks cat-back on my own personalcar.

the kooks axle-back is made from stainlesssteel with 3-inch round race mufflers, 4-inch exhaust tips, and i would say that it's inthe middle when it comes to price. you have less expensive options and more expensiveoptions but you're looking at spending about $620 bucks for the kooks axle-back. installing an axle-back, any axle-back onan s550, does require some cutting. you'll need to mark and cut your stock axle-backwith a sawzall, pull the stock mufflers down, swap over your hangers, and just clamp thenew axle-back up and into place. you'll just want to measure for your cutsand make sure you don't cut away too much or else your mufflers won't sit right.

next, i'm going to move over to my car andshow you guys another modification that i always recommend. all right. so now we're in my own personal car and iremember when the 2011 started to rain down on the mt-82 parade. needless to say, the mt-82 and the shifterin the s550 mustang was kind of a big talking point. and at first, there wasn't much out thereon the market in terms of shifters that help with the remote shifter location and lockout.

and let's just call it mt-82 blues. luckily, that didn't last too long and bartoncame out with the hybrid 3 shifter for the mt-82 that confronts head on the remote shifterdesign and all of the downfalls in the stock shifter set up. this shifter is expensive, but it's worthevery penny in my opinion. you're looking at spending about $475 bucksfor this shifter, but i'll say once again, that it's worth it. this is the only shifter upgrade on the sitethat gives you a completely upgraded unit, rather than just the handle that will requireyou to transfer over of some of the stock

components that give you trouble with a stocktransmission. barton went into the shifter and literallyupgraded everything. we're talking cnc-machined billet aluminum,stainless steel, weather-tight seals, and a solid stainless front bushing and rear bracketthat are made to stop vibrations and deflection that lead to shifting issues. this is an entire replacement that has sealedcontained shifter components, not just an arm with a linkage. the other big thing with this shifter andwhat really makes this shifter different than the others, even the original barton shortthrow shifter is the mounting options and

the three bushing system in the linkage. you can mount this shifter directly to thetrans or directly to the body of the car. you have an option here depending on whatyou like better. if you mount it to the trans directly, thatmeans you can run the solid linkage. then there is a mounting block that boltsdirectly to the trans, which eliminates the tie to the body of the car. this means that the shifter will move withthe trans under load and everything will be directly in line. if you mount it to the body, you'll use adifferent bracket and the upgraded linkage

allows the shifter to be remote but stillkeep accurate shifts. i will say that i personally have my shiftertrans mounted so i don't have to worry about the body of the car and the trans moving separately. the install is involved. you'll need to drop the trans down some inorder to make the swap complete. in my case, we completely dropped the transmissionsince i was doing a clutch upgrade anyway but you don't necessarily have to do thatyourself. there is so much to talk about with this shifterbut this video isn't really about going into every detail about each product.

so if you want to know more about the bartonshifter, and i'll tell you there is a lot to know, make sure you check out the productpage where i go into more detail about this thing. so we have three down and two more modificationsto discuss. the next mods i'm going to talk about arekind of a combo mod and that's a cold air intake and a tune. back over on our black car, we installed ac&l street cold air intake with an sct x4 tuner and vmp tune, and of course, threw thecar on the dyno to get numbers results. our baseline run with our 2017 automatic gtgave us numbers of 358 horsepower and 348-foot-pounds

of torque. then we installed the intake and gave thecar a 93 octane tune and the numbers changed to 386 horsepower and 373-foot-pounds of torque. that makes for a peak gain of 28 horsepowerand 25-foot-pounds of torque and more importantly, curve gains of 35 horsepower at 6500 rpm and25-foot-pounds of torque at 4200 rpm. i always like seeing low-end or mid-rangetorque gains like this because that's what you're going to notice as you're driving. i always recommend paring a cold air intakewith a tune, and i always tell people to put a tune towards the top of their mod list.

the s550s respond really well to a littlebit of tuning. and once you tune your gt, you'll have a totallydifferent car that will be a lot more fun to drive, even if you aren't personally chasingdown big horsepower numbers. but looking at the details with the c&l intakeand the vmp tunes, of course, this is very easy to install. you're looking at the install taking an houror less. you'll only need a few hand tools and allthat's really gonna happen is the c&l here will take place of the factory air box. you'll pull your stock intake tube and airboxand wiggle the new airbox into place.

from there, you can clamp on your intake tubeand tighten things down. next, you'll load your tune, which is onlygonna take about 10 minutes total and it doesn't require any tools. this intake and tuner combo cost a touch over$830, but remember, you're getting two modifications here. you get your tunes from vmp and you get thec&l cold air intake. and just like most other things when it comesto shopping for the s550, you have a few different choices when it comes to both cold air intakesand tunes. you don't have to purchase a tuner and coldair intake combo if you don't want to.

you can always pick up a cold air intake byitself and then a tune later or go the other way around. i just picked the combo mod to talk abouthere since it is an option and these two items go hand in hand. as far as tunes go, you can choose from anumber of different tunes and devices. this item comes with an sct device that'sloaded with vmp custom tunes. you just send it some information about yourcar and any current mods and vmp will have a calibrator write a custom tune file foryour car. and of course, the same thing goes for coldair intakes.

you have a few different styles to choosefrom. the c&l here has what i consider to be oneof the designs with the most going for it. you have a closed air box that keeps the directcold air feed from the grill of the car and that's more of a true cold air intake setup. some after-market cold air intakes have anopen element airbox or eliminate the cold air feed from the grill. other cold air intakes just have a shield. you also have tune-required intakes and no-tunerequired intakes. this one here does not require a tune so youcan install this without a tune and the car

will run just fine. once again, all of this is gonna come downto personal preference. so if you want a cold air intake that keepsthe outside air feed, that has a closed airbox, and that does not require a tune, the c&lcould be a good option for you. like most intakes, it comes with a largerreusable air filter that you can clean and reinstall when you need to. all right, guys. so those are my top five starter mods forthe 2015-2017 gt mustang. you've got a little bit of looks and a lotof functionality and just overall improvement

with these mods between the lowering springs,exhaust, shifter upgrade, cold air intake, and the tune. it's a well-rounded starting point or platformfor any build. as always, these are just suggestions though,but i hope that they've helped in some way. let me know what you guys think in the commentsbelow on what exactly you would modify first on your own mustang. make sure you subscribe. and for all things mustang, keep it righthere at americanmuscle.com
