Top 5 Mods & Upgrades for the S550 Ford Mustang - Number 1 Will Surprise You!

[@srhatfield]

Damn I thought I was going to be disappointed with some fluff piece. This is spot on! I have had an S550 since 2015 and I've done all of these mods plus many more. If there is one thing that I have learned, it is that the driver is the most important performance part of the car. If you can find HPDE events at your local track and get a good instructor, you'll be way ahead of the other guys who have no idea what they're doing. My first time on track I was getting my ass kicked by dudes in Miatas. No kidding! They'd be right off my rear bumper until I got to the straight aways, and then I'd pull away from them and then they'd be waving at me from what seemed like my back seat to point them by at the next straightaway! It was quite enlightening and humbling to have a 130hp car beating my ass around a track. I got a good instructor and now that doesn't happen anymore 😁

Definatley the H Pipe. I prefer a deeper sounding V8 rather than raspy.

[@xboxplayers-zp9hf]

X pipe is perfect on the Gt350

[@SerendipitousProducts]

h-pipe with aggressive tone Axle back is amazing. always get compliments. At speed cruising its as quiet at stock, then you hit the throttle and its like yep its a Mustang. Best Mod I have done to date.

[@ArifKrasniqi-o7t]

My Magnetic GT agreed, i have the roush axle backs with mishimoto h pipe and there’s absolutely no drone, very aggressive when you get onto it where people think ive got headers too, and quiet when not pushing it

[@NatedoggZombies]

Steeda is one the most helpful brands I’ve ever bought from. They will guide you with whatever you want to do with your new mustang chassis. I just called them up one day

[@mdftx1]

It is crazy how incredibly engineered these s550 mustangs are considering their low price for what they give. So glad I bought one and can't wait to put some springs and swaybars to improve that corner sway.

[@srhatfield]

Steeda kicks ass! They're absolutely the most knowledgeable modders of S550 Mustangs. Their parts are top notch quality and they stand behind their products. I have a TON of them on my S550, from suspension to the clutch spring and even the functional rear race wing, which helped keep the car planted when approaching high-speed corners at the track.

[@toddosborne8546]

STEEDA.......where my wishlist never ends.

[@CommandoMaster]

It's a good point - track the car, push it to it's limits, then u can appreciate the car and each mod u do to it.

How you like it compare the 2? I have a 19 wrx and I'm looking mustang too

[@nickmitchell676]

Kanny Looi I just traded my wrx in. My car had 355 wheel and the Mustang is so much better in my opinion. Just have to do the clutch spring did mine on the second day lol

[@411bps]

Just traded my 16 wrx limited fbo on ethanol for a 19 GT pp1 with the 10speed, miss the Subaru but no regrets with the mustang

[@woohunter1]

I also had a ‘16 wrx making around 300whp, it was a fun car but am pretty apply with my Mustang Gt so far.

[@SARDOG]

I just did the strut tower brace and am blown away by how much it locked in the front. Need to get the no hop kit next

[@adrianrodriguez7986]

I just installed the progressive springs..absolutely awesome.

[@sgjarrod8491]

Great video as always Brian. I'm loving the mods we talked about for my car. One thing I would add to this list.... When u get the shifter and clutch pedal spring...get the ss braided clutch line. It felt good with the shifter and spring but the line completed the package. Feels so much better. Get rid of that plastic OEM clutch line!!!!

You need to make a Steeda s550 starter kits with everything in the video for a little bit cheaper than all the parts combined

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

The first and best Mod I have done was the (clutch pedal assist spring).. Wow What a difference.. The only Mod's I have is the Xpipe and the clutch perch spring.. I do have the IRS braces and Jack rails going on next week but after that, I'm leaving the car alone for a while..

[@JayCBR1100xx]

I have steeda exhaust, clutch spring, sway bars, front X brace, rear irs braces, rear irs support bushings, and alignment kit on my S550, take it from me, your car will be absolutely transformed with steeda parts, they are second to none if you want to genuinely and properly improve your mustang.

[@steedaautosports]

Thanks for the kind words, we're happy you're happy!

[@TheRadLion]

4:56 @Steeda what is the exact Stainless Works exhaust that’s on here? Sounds amazing.

[@willubhave5]

Ya a friend has (2014-S197) Long tube headers with H pipe w/Corsa Xtreme including the Saturday night special open exhaust valves...$ucker is loud

[@Shahil51]

Definitely recommend those subframe braces, makes a noticeable difference

[@HeadBassVTEC]

the steeda clutch spring assist and tri-ax race shifter and gearbox mount bushing were the first mods I bought for my 2016 GT PP1....have not installed them yet so can't comment first I went for new wheels (staggered 20s to square 19s), next is the Corsa Extreme to Borla Touring and while changing the exhaust I will probably install the shifter mods next spring is probably stiffer ARBs and maybe 2018 intake, CAI and a tune but I want to enjoy the car as it is first , did not drive it much yet and want to see what I like/don't like before going crazy with mods (the shifter feel is probably the only thing I don't like so far)

[@LHJC292]

great mod list - did everything on the list except for lower springs - thinking about coilovers on my S550 next, wheels & tires and a brake upgrade

[@larryhernandez5062]

Excellences . . . . Steeda

[@robwaters2065]

I liked the video!!! You should also do a mod video for automatic S550 cars , or it's the same as stick cars.? Maybe something to help 2015 to 17 , to run with 2018 & 19 ? Again, great videos keep them coming. Thanks

[@sergiolopez1770]

Everything is the same except the short throw shifter, suspension though i would say coilovers over lowering springs

[@400hpmustang]

What about the oil pumps gears, crank sprocket and clutch? Swapping out the shifter doesn't address the remote mounted shifter issues, unless you go MGW or a Blowfish bracket.

[@mikehughes8023]

Scotty N I would guess that unless you are adding power under the hood those components are better served as is.

[@darkman8022]

[@400hpmustang]

@@mikehughes8023 If you plan on adding boost at some point, those supporting mods I spoke of are essential ingredients.

[@pistol210]

Scotty N u need to trans mount the shifter and that will fix all issues. Look into it

[@400hpmustang]

@@pistol210 Def going aluminum one piece and the Blowfish for now. These two components should make a big difference and clutch a little further down the line.

[@origionalwinja]

does the steeda shifter have a shift stop? kinda really important as to if i buy it or not. the manual transmissions are NOT weak or faulty, its the shitty shifting of the driver. a shift stop on a shifter will make your manual transmission last literally forever

[@zactiontv]

@steeda where is the active exhaust located? I have a 2021 GT with active exhaust and i want to put long tubes and possibly an H or X pipe. I know the long tubes will make it scream, and with the h or x pipe it will sound quite loud but at that point, will the active exhaust still noticeably work?

[@CrazyIrishCarl]

I own quite a few Mustangs all at different stages but on my 2018 I bought fully loaded with Magne-ride and Active Exhaust if you change the Springs isn't that effecting the electronic shocks? And if you change X-Pipe or Mufflers how is that not altering the Active Exhaust system? My Shelby's are equipped with JRZ's, JRi's, and QA1's on another so this time I wanted the Magne-ride with the 10r80 but sometimes it feels 'floaty' with this suspension but maybe I am used to my race setup on other ones

[@Elchapulin214]

What lowering springs yall recommend ? For daily driving , as well to get that good (aggressive look) ?

[@steedaautosports]

Definitely our Sport Progressive springs! 1.25" front drop & 1" rear drop with a progressive spring rate that is comfortable for daily driving but still more capable in corners than the factory setup.

[@TheyCallMeProphet100]

Hello, I have a question regarding the Steeda X pipe resonator delete you guys offer for the s550 2018+ mustangs. Would the installation of this product cause any check engine lights or error codes to appear? Please let me know and thanks for your time!

[@marcoortega1551]

I have a brand new 2020 mustang GT and my question is, should I bother with the Ford Performance Power Pack for just over $1000? I would get some gains but minimal (but i would retain the factory warranty) or should I just enjoy the car as is, leave it stock for now, and consider a supercharger or turbo after the 3 year warranty is up? Keep in mind, I will likely end up with a supercharger or turbo anyway. Anything helps! thanks!

[@steedaautosports]

It all depends on what your goals are with the car? In stock form, the 2020 GT is already pretty quick! Keep in mind the Ford Performance Power Pack has a separate warranty through Ford Performance Parts for 3yrs/36k miles if installed by a Ford dealer. It's a decent bump in power, but a proper tune from us or Lund Racing would really wake the car up... or wait until you're ready to go forced induction. All depends on what you prefer! Hope this helps! -Chris

[@marcoortega1551]

@@steedaautosports Thanks for the reply. I think it makes sense to save the $1000+ for a 20hp gain, leave the engine stock and wait to make a bigger splash with forced induction down the road. It's my daily driver so honestly, I can't actually push the car to its capability as it is. Again, Thank you!
