Its fast, but im noticing it stutters, like it wants to go harder but the mods it got are limiting it, now I dont know anything about fords, im skyline fan. lol But what should I get for it?I heard K&N fliters and cold air intake, new exhast 2.5 cat back, a tune and I was told a underpully doesnt do anything :S and that's all I know.Any ideas? im all ears and I want to learn this car I got the cash easy blow 20k on it lol fcking love it so fcking much. Kinitic Blue paint.By the way cuz its new, if I mod it, will the warrianty get voided?Thanks guys!!! P plater by the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about paying for a cat back, use the pipes that are in there and get good mufflers put in.Spend your dollars on handling and brakes if you want it to go quick. Then once you are off your p's get a turbo and put the good bits onto it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 4d Posted 10/11/12 06:02 AM Share Posted 10/11/12 06:02 AM I think it needs to be better spelt out lol. YOU NEED TO GET A COLD AIR INTAKE WITH K N N FILTER AND INSTALL IT YOURSELF AND WHEN YOU TAKE IT IN TO GET SERVICED ETC (OR ANY TIME IT GOES TO FORD FOR THAT MATTER) YOU NEED TO REVERT BACK TO THE STOCK INTAKE OTHERWISE THEY WILL SAY YOU VOIDED WARRANTY!!As for mods, no do not get ford to do any mods, only go to reputable mechanics and tuners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 4d Posted 12/11/12 07:09 AM Share Posted 12/11/12 07:09 AM Mate theres one clamp that holds the intake pipe on about halfway too the throttle body. theres a screw or two on the snorkel n then pretty sure the box just sits in place isn't even screwed down. its really not that hard. And to be honest if you can't figure it out I suggest not doing any mods and leaving it stock... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
