    Only 9 ponies from a K&N intake and some fancy exhaust? That sounds conservative. A V8 mustang makes 315 hp; a 9 hp bump is less than 3%.

    Is Ford's stock intake and exhaust just that good, or is the 9 hp number wrong? #mustang

    @pinkshinyalan: I think it's that good. The intake on the 2010 models is the Ford Racing Performance Products air intake previously only available on the Bullitt and frequently purchased as an aftermarket replacement itself for 2009 and older cars (tho the C&L or the JLT intake in use with the SCT tuner seem to be the preferred combo meal). The stock exhaust is pretty free flowing, and most only replace it for the sound; hp gains from changing the exhaust is like three horsepower. But sound matters too ;) #mustang

    @PotbellyJoe - As seen on I-287:
    Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, okay? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four vehicles, okay? You following?

    Good. Over here, we have a non-stickered, dealer installed, with factory warranty intact Mustang drifter. Down here, we have a stickered to all hell poorly accessorized Asian import drifter. Over here, we got Santa’s sleigh, and up here the Mach5. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?

    This is a serious exercise. It's like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first the non-stickered drifter, the stickered drifter, Santa’s sleigh, or the Mach5? #mustang

    Mostly useful performance enhancements, so I can't hate on it too much. #mustang

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Yes, there are certainly worse (and less cost-effective) upgrades to be had. You know, like adding carbon fiber parts to a car that wasn't designed around carbon fiber structural bits. Fiberglass is cheaper and lighter, but less bling, I guess. #mustang

    @stevecmh: Front splitters are a functional thing almost exclusively so if it happens to look like a racecar (even if it is NASCAR) then it's doing its job. #mustang
