3 Mods Only IDIOTS Buy For The 1999-2004 Mustang GT

Be smart and install a tubular K member if you are going with Longtubes. It makes install and long-term maintenance on the clutch a non-issue it will allow you to easily unbolt one header to aid removal of the tranny for clutch replacement. Also #1 Word of advice if you are going to modify your ride....Learn to turn a wrench on it yourself. You will save a ton of money overpaying someone to install your go-fast parts!!

Good vid man! Some great points and you’ve got me thinking on the fuel

Great video! My suggestions for first mod, bang for buck would be an off-road X or H pipe. I don’t think they sell them anymore but a used one should be easy to find still. Stuff I’ve never had luck with are: aftermarket clutch cables, always go with a Ford one and I’ve never had any success with aftermarket throttle bodies. They always had some sort of issues and I’d end up going back to stock. I wish the Tremec 3650 didn’t have the bell housing as part of the case. Would be so much easier swapping a clutch especially w/ long tubes. A 2V New Edge is a great car for someone getting into the hobby too. Lots of solid examples still available that won’t break the bank. So many parts and resources out there to help you build no matter what direction you want to go. I think their styling has aged well and they still look great, not dated at all

I be tried 3 different aftermarket coils and the real MSD coils have been ran extremely hard for 2 years and have blew out a plug and coil , fixed the head and the coil still working today 👍my thoughts are factory coils are 1st go to , but MSD coils are the best aftermarket for the SOHC , love the new edges

Solid advise. On the fuel system upgrade .and just change the clutch and throw out any time you pull it apart .the aftermarket k member makes it easier but still a chore pulling the whole front end apart every time you want to do anything

Great advice I have only owned my new edge for about 4 years have only upgraded parts of my suspension and Cooling system. Not got that far yet.. good to know

Nice video. I'm not at a point for installing a return fuel system but I dread that day because I've had to replace the fuel pump last year and it is no fun dropping the gas tank - especially since mine was full. Getting the tank off and back on can break the plastic nozzle on the filler if you're not very careful - I wish I had a hydraulic lift to do this job.

Huh yes ! The coils need to be stock. I fell into the publicity too. Great video !

Great video thanks I'm gonna do all your recommendations

Good knowledge to know unfortunately I have already had the above issues and cost me a lot of dough$$$!

Coming from an 03 Cobra owner, you are SPOT ON on all of this. 100% truth. Great video. Your GT is very nice too btw. Keep up the great work.

Straight line solutions 💪 Cody is Awesome.

Thanks for the info! Did you contact Edlebrock about your issues?

I just bought my first Mustang. Its 2001 Mustang cobra. Everything is stock, but it does have a mgw short throw in it. I want to put bbk long tubes, O/R H Pipe, and Borla tios on it. Would I have to put a new shifter in it when i do it?

Ok so are you upgrading your clutch? I ask because my clutch is new (factory clutch). Im wanting long tube headers but don’t see the need in replacing a new clutch that I already have.

You name all three of my mistakes too.lolol. Glad to see there's other people suffering too lol

adding a tubular k member is a great way to improve accessibility and make working on these cars so much easier in general.

Well guess I'm screwed, just put on bbk ltb's and didn't change my stock clutch... I'll be supercharged in a couple of weeks. Guess I'll sell it lol

I don't think they're available anymore, but I have the SLP longtubes. They fit pretty nice from what I remember. I didn't install them myself. My 04 was only 2yrs old when I had them put on. I didn't trust myself at the time to do that. They're still on the car & have been perfect.

Get an aftermarket K member way easier to install headers 👌🏻
