#MUSTANG ECU TUNING UPGRADE#

If you chose option one, you will have to wait for our Forced Induction guide haha! Sorry! But if you want more from your Coyote 'au naturelle' then read on! Because there is certainly more that we can do.Īfter the cold air intake has been installed the next step of the airs journey is through your throttle body and into your intake manifold, both of which can be upgraded. Right so now we have covered the basics its time for a big decision.ĭo you go power mad and decide that it's time to head for Forced Induction OR do you want to enjoy those 5 litres as nature intended, breathing clean fresh air, and not having it rammed into your manifold by angry turbos or massive superchargers. So simple and easy quality modifications really do make BIG real world differences. Our Q500 was dynoed in the UK at 480 hp as you can see here: You can read more about the wonderful world of Mustang exhausts in our ' Best Exhaust Guide'.Ī tuned Mustang GT with a high quality intake and catback exhaust sounds good and really kicks up performance. You can also get axle backs and x or H pipe inserts, but for real performance gains a catback and or headers are the choices to make. X pipes perform marginally better, but if every pony counts that should help guide your choice! These usually come with X or H pipe resonator deletes at the 'front' of the system. 'Cat Back' exhausts, which as the name says go from the catalytic converters area, just at the back of the exhaust manifolds all the way back to the exhaust tips. These attach directly to the engine block (on both sides on the V8, each dealing with 4 of the cylinders.Ģ. 'Headers' or as we say in Europe, Exhaust Manifolds. That's because we found that Ford had done such a good job on the basic setup that 'same diameter' hardware would NOT give an improvement, only bigger bore hardware that would need a tune.Ĭold Air Intakes are the first step in 'breathing in' for your engine, but breathing out also can be improved and that's where exhausts come in.Įxhausts in a performance sense means two things:ġ.

That's why on the 2018 + Mustang we only provide our closed air intake which requires tuning. Steeda pride ourselves on the best Cold Air Intake development in the business and we only want to make and sell functional effective parts.

You don't get to hold the drag world record for NA cars with second rate tunes, that is for sure! Our Steeda 'Tunes for Life' program means that as you upgrade your hardware we upgrade your tune free of charge ready for the next step. Steeda were the first company to be able to sell Ford endorsed tunes in Ford Showrooms and have continued to develop brilliant tunes for your Ford. However don't worry, with a Steeda tune you are working with the best names in the industry. After all, if you are worried by that thought you won't be able to enjoy the upgrade! Just get a 'no tune' intake and upgrade to a tune once out of warranty! If your car is in warranty we do say that only take the step of getting a tune done if you are happy with the idea of voiding your powertrain warranty. Steeda Tunes are designed to be in line with our 'factory plus' ethos, giving smooth reliable power and great driveability. If you are planning to go with a Steeda tune straight away then you can opt for our all new Closed CAI or the de-restricted open CAI as above. If you want to follow up with a tune, simply remove the restrictor when adding your tune and hey presto, even more performance!Ģ. However even this will see you gaining 20 horsepower and 20ft/lbs of torque. Our 555-3193 Open CAI comes with a restrictor in the next allowing it to be used 'bolt on' with no tune required. NA - Naturally Aspirated - tuning is simple and even 700+ is no issue on the stock block when going FI - or Forced Induction - i.e Supercharged or Turbo.Įxtracting power from the Coyote is pretty simple, just help that 5 litre set of lungs breathe better.īreathing in can be improved simply in a few stages. It's built to tune and can suck up as much power as you throw at it. Well the first thing that you need to know is that Ford built a potent weapon of an engine and made it even more potent when the facelift 2018+ model came out. Now you have purchased your Mustang GT with 5 litres of thunderous 'Coyote' V8 power, how can you start taking it up a notch, or three?
