I was a JDM dude my whole life until I picked up a 5.0 Performance pack. Theres nothing like raw V8 power and the car handles amazingly through twisties. Respect the power and you wont end up in a ditch.
Didn’t cover mods that well for performance. For those looking for a 5.0 s550 here is what you need to know about performance mods. 2015-2017 have the gen 2 coyote. 2018-current have the gen 3 coyote. Gen 3 added direct inject (alongside the port injection) and a higher compression ration. 2018+ has 10 speed auto, 2015-2017 has 6 speed auto. The s550 has the mt82 manual transmission but 2018+ has a revised version. The gen3 is a way better N/A car than the gen2. The gen3 with the direct injection and higher compression means you can get 50+hp mod for mod over the gen2. A gen 2 with an intake, ported 2018 intake manifold, headers, and e85 will make around 450 whp. A gen3 with headers, intake and e85 could see 500+ whp. The 10 speed auto is crazy good, and if your looking to go as fast as possible N/A or with some boost the 10 speed is your best bet. A stock 10 speed auto can keep up with a fbo 6 speed auto. Now for your mods. You have your basic cai, headers, and intake manifold. E85 is also available to run with just a tune. Cai don’t do much but getting headers and upgrading the manifold (especially on 15-17 cars) can get you a good amount of power. Boosting your car is always an option. Gen 2 coyotes are better for boost. When you boost a coyote always upgrade oil pump gears and crank sprockets. Single turbo, dual turbo, PD superchargers, and centri superchargers are all good options. With just oil pump gears and crank sprocket you could make 700+whp reliably. People have even made 900+whp on the stock engine. When you start making serious power you will need to upgrade driveshaft and maybe half shaft if doing hard launches. You may also need to build the transmission and or torque converter. I hope this helps some people with a basic rundown.
Find myself in a funny spot with my 21 Gt pp1. Want to target around 600 hp to be similiar to my F type, certainly misses the instant urgentt madness and responsiveness. But the jag self destruction. 600 a bit much to get NA but any blower shoots me higher and probably upgrading more things than I want to trying to add power cost effectively. need to try e85 tune, then LTH and see how I feel. my reading seems to show manifold and Cai pretty inconsequential on the gen 3 unless part of a package searching for those big numbers with a big turbo/ super
I would always recommend people do this 6-speed manual over the 10 speed just because it's way more fun and satisfying. With the newer technology the clutch feels amazing and the shifter is buttery smooth and they even have an option for an auto rev match if you suck at that. The manual is just way better because a mustang is not really a mustang with an automatic honestly (mainly because the best mustangs ever in history were manuals like the buliitt mustang, the 13 and 14 GT500, and the 03 and 04 Terminator cobra and mach 1).
Dont believe what you read in the comments. While theres a bit to unpack here there are a bunch of video where actual tuning organisations show dyno graphs vs modifications. Strongly advise you all review the videos backed by real performance data and not some random comments...
Had mine since new in 2017.. And it's been rock solid... Track it semi- regularly. Just... respect the power (especially those coming from awd cars) and you won't end up in a tree /crowd
Another thing i want to add, after driving a ‘11 camaro ss for a year is know your road and know your brakes if you drive spiritedly on a unknown road and hit a sharper curve than you saw or even railroad track you wont want to be in that car better yet next to someone
I recently bought a 2016 V6 and it's everything I dream off. The mustang is my dream car since I was a kid and I can confirm it doesn't disappoint. The best part its gas mileage. A full tank last me a week blowing away my miata and audi. I am saving some money to start moding my baby.
@@jmech2298 Honestly speaking I don't care about specs because I don't do track. I just really like the look of the car. I wanted to buy the 2021 model but even tho I have the money and credit they didn't wanted to give it to me cuz it was my first car through a dealership. So I chose the 2016 v6 to build "car" credit so when generation 7 comes out to get that.
Funny how people always dog the EcoBoost. I got some vids of mine on my channel. Thing makes more whp than my old second gen coyote (403 460 tq)and is considerably faster in the quarter than a stock third gen 5.0. these things are torque monsters.
My friends and I have always been about Japanese and Euro cars, but they absolutely love mine when they drive it. My 16 GT PP is my first sports car, and I absolutely love it. It does everything so well, and has all the amenities I'd want in a car. With some tires and springs, it handles pretty well. Like others have said, the S550 is such a good all rounder. Track, drag, street, show, it does it all. Not to mention the interiors on the premiums are pretty nice. I'll probably keep mine as long as possible.
After owning a 5.0, I know exactly why people crash their mustangs when pulling out. The problem is they think that if they just flood it and go, it will be fine, the problem is the traction control always, always, kicks in and when the rears hook back up, they don’t hook evenly and they kick the car to either side, and if you don’t get off throttle it’s over, you snap oversteer and crash it.
Ya, I have a Shelby gt350 and a f type R, the TC in this car is retarded. You can drive the f type sideways with a blindfold on. If you kick the ass out at all in the Shelby, it loses its god damn mind.
@@99savage1 so the s197 and prior smacked crowds cause the solid rear axel locks you sideways even if you have traction control off, if you turn traction control off in the s550, from my experience it will spin non stop bu the lsd keeps you straight even while spinning. In the s550 if you keep the traction control on, you start to slip and the car turns sideways which is when the tc kicks in and you hook back up but you're pointing at a wall when it hooks so you snap it back and end up crashing either way.
Yeah when I get side ways I just flor it for like 1 second then just tap tap into I feel it sliding. When it start to get to crazy I let the gas go and the car gets back in control.
How is it on regular streets? And by regular I mean everything that you can encounter on the roads. I’m currently on eibach pros so they’re conservative.
I have a 15 GT VERT with GT350 intake, GT350 T.B. Ford Performance power pack 2 tune. Steeda H pipe and Steeda axleback. I know she's not the fastest thing on the road but I don't care because the car is fun as hell to drive around. The sound the v8 makes with the top down is and experience that never gets old. I've owned many different types of cars but my s550 is just different. She keeps a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. oh and I still lookback to make sure she's safe after parking lol.

If you have a 302 the best intakes the stock box Personally I wouldn’t worry about anything else other than maybe the exhaust and Suspension. Just save save save for boost. A vortech jt, e85, and a return fuel system will get you to 800+ easy.
It's just so nice being able to toss FBO and e85 without worrying about reliability. The coyote can handle it no sweat. The negative comes from the MT82 6-speed. But it's not like unsolvable, you just need a MGW Race Spec short shifter, BG Synchro Shift trans fluid, and a steeda clutch pedal spring and weighted shift knob
Haven’t really had an issue stalling after I took off hill assist. And if anything is more of a driver thing. Once you put in a clutch pedal spring you can feel the clutch a lot more. The trans is the weak point and even that isn’t that bad.

@@TrVlogs82 These are chassis codes for which they are built on, S550, S197, sn95 etc. Each manufacturer is a bit different, generally the first 3-4 digits in the vin are the chassis code.
@@TrVlogs82 SN95 is 94-98 New Edge is 99-04 S197 is 05-14 with two refreshes happening in the generation, one in 2010 and the other in 2013 when they got the GT500 front end and the new taillights. S550 is the 15+ cars with one refresh in 2018 to give it the more aggressive look.
Owned both an ecoboost and boosted coyote. They’re both super reliable at high horsepower IF YOU USE THE RIGHT FUEL. Had the ecoboost going 11s and making around 400rwhp for 2 years and now have my coyote making mid 900s and has gone 9.20s. Both cars had stock motors and transmissions. Again don’t cheap on on fuel when racing lol.
My next car will for sure be an S550 mustang. The Lexus life has been fun, and almost everyone seems to love a low Lexus, but I've just got the 5.0 itch.
It will be the best decision you've ever made. Make sure you have an x-pipe waiting at your house when you get the car. Chop the 20lb resonator out and put your xpipe in and then proceed to smile for the rest of your life. (Except for when you have to get gas..)
I have a 2018 base GT 6 speed all blacked out and lowered with Eibach sportline springs sitting on staggered 20" MMD flat black 5 spoke rims with a JLT cold air intake and Bama Rev X tune and the Corsa Sport cat back exhaust. I also have black louvers on the back and side quarter windows. Thats really all the mods you really need on the S550 except maybe a good aftermarket short throw shifter, better clutch, and upgraded brakes, which I may still do. But I dont track the car and don't plan on it. It's my daily driver and I love just running twisty roads and doing highway pulls. It's at a point right now where on a hard pull from a stop I can literally feel the front end get lighter all the way through the pull. And that's basically stock with just with a 93 octane tune. I could imagine how much more powerful it would be with headers and a supercharger or turbos. The power these little 302s are putting out is ridiculous. I'm old enough to remember when getting 1 horsepower per cubic inch was the goal. Now a stock 302 is putting out 465 hp and with some bolt ons you can double that. Back in my younger days the 80s GT foxbody was putting out 225 hp and we thought that was badass. Times have definitely changed
@@FitmentIndustries I'm not sure what's next for it. Maybe upgraded brakes. It has stock base GT brakes which work fine but I still might upgrade. I might put a different rear spoiler on it too. The stock shorty one is ok but I might get the performance pack one or the Shelby one. I'm not in the gallery but let me gather the info on what I'm running and I'll upload pics.
Everyone goes headers on the v8 for power. After an intake manifold and injectors w/e85 headers is about all it takes for FBO (cold air intakes don’t do anything on these)
@@FitmentIndustries 180sx was a caged drift car, it was sold for the Datsun, which there’s a lot going on with that. L28et swapped on MS3X, Onesix CAS, to a MS3x running LS coil packs, and a lot more. Mustang just has RTR tech 7s, an intake and exhaust, all my funds are going to the Datsun now
Picked my 2021 up in January,coming from a foxbody mustang,the s550 is the best mustang period,it can be driven in any weather,were the foxbody was a fair weather car with all season tires,the s550 isnt the fastest,but has enough power for the streets..
First thing I did with my S550 mustang was put a Armytrix exhuast on it and after some sketchy sections of road I went on fitmentindustries and bought some wider tires lmao. My car came with 235's for a GT Premium its kinda sketchy if you floor it.
Great video. I got my first mustang (15 ecoboost) 2 years ago and I love it. FBO on 93 tune & I love it. I am now looking at a RS3 but the S550 platform is amazing
As a Ecoboost owner i kinda full sent it into the side of JDM lmao, turbo 4 cylinder noises, Turbo flutter, BOV atmosphere dumps, JDM stickers and accessories etc Gotta get a set of rims from you guys in the future and ill be set
The Konig's don't look like enough of a change if you already have the performance package wheels, ok choice if your going for a "premium" stock look with a base model I suppose.
I’m not cause I have a 2019 Bullitt and I get constantly asked about it and see people taking pictures. Some lady was recording my car at the gas station and their was literally a Lamborghini 30 ft away getting detailed. Californians love them. It’s a great car stock and I’ll be driving it when I’m 80.
Find a good tuner. I added a 3.0 whipple stage 2 supercharger and it was making 800hp but due to a lot of hurdles and trips to different tuning shops I stripped it due to poor tuning. Ended up selling and got a new bronco,vowed to never upgrade where tuning is required.
@@FitmentIndustries I sold it to a guy in upstate NY, where eim originally from. I currently reside in MD so at least I won't see it on the road and regret selling it. Haha. I actually love the bronco, quite smooth for a 4x4. Really looking forward to getting a leveling kit and taking it rock climbing and the Beach this summer.
Without even watching this I'm honestly willing to say yes. Mainly the exhaust. Got to have a pair of long tubes with a angry sounding x pipe, for a cat back I usually prefer either roush or Corsa extremes. Also I love doing chrome wheels, the best is probably American muscles buliitt Wheels with deep dish at the back. Also, a good aftermarket hood, chin spoiler and rear spoiler doesn't hurt either as long as they are not extreme (Rice) looking.
Coyote engine is rock solid, sound is kinda meh but still, the engine alone is a damn good reason to buy one. They're reliable, powerful, capable, and extremely fun to drive. Pretty sure SavageGeese even liked these cars which is saying something.
I believe Anovia is under Artisa. The Anovia line of wheels are supposed to be deco directional. I could be wrong, but they did put out a video on this.
The 13-14 Mustang is the best looking mustang in the history of Mustangs. Way nicer than the S550 and I honestly think they are the favorite modern Mustangs of most.

The first mod any new s550 owner should do is IRS reinforcement mods. The OEM parts are literally the downfall for the s550 platform. Once I did my irs mods, the rear feels more planted and stops bouncing when taking turns
@@24arevans I got the irs support kit from Steeda. They’re the go to for anything suspension related for mustangs. They’re like Spoon but for mustangs. The kit came with Support bushing inserts, brackets that connect the irs to the chassis, a choice of endlinks for either drag or track setups(I got the track set) and these poly plastic type covers for the bolts that go into the irs because I was shocked to see that the bolt isn’t a tight fit into the chassis, there’s like a 1/8 or so of wiggle room around the bolt. Stock oem parts are trash
@@alexanderbmx pretty much, also doesn’t help that it’s a convertible. It lost a ton of it’s structural strength. You gotta do a lot of reinforcement underneath the car to somewhat get it back
When I read the title, I assumed the video was going to address the question of should you modify your S550 Mustang "since the new S650 Mustang is about to drop".
Half true, don't put a big ass cold air kit on them that's increases MAF size without a tune, it'll run like crap. These cars have a LOT of technology in them and can be a bit fussy, but if you're modding them the first thing you should do is a GOOD tune if you want performance.
I was debating getting one of these. I debated so long that I kept on watching videos on the s550 vs the 5.0 and my dad told me, if you’re going to get a mustang get the GT at least. And I agreed. So I skipped the s550 and went for something else. The s550 was in my budget. So was the BRZ and Civic Si. I ended up with an Si. But soon I’ll get that 5.0 or GT350
the 3.7 cyclone is worth it, people with your dads mindset is exactly why I hopped out of the mustang gang despite taking mine to VIR a bunch and it doing really well lmao
@@bugslayr102 yeah I was debating it but my dream car is the Shelby gt350, so if I got the s550 I wouldn’t be getting what I really want. The 5.0 would be what I want. But the s550 is what I could afford. But those ecoboost are nice especially all tuned up. If I could I’d get both a 5.0 and a eco.
@@wellingtonbruh3756I can sorta knock 1/2 of that out if you answer this, how far are you wanting to take performance? Like boosted or just a bolt on car
@@169abr I'm running fbo, but later on going blower. Need better wheels and tires, and some suspension work to handle the power. Just preparing the car.
@@wellingtonbruh3756 ahhh true true, I have Indy 500’s on mine but you can’t really go wrong with PS4S or certain Nittos. If you’re going boost then you’re gonna have to be running a radial most of the time to be honest cause you just won’t hook.

Glad we did it justice! Thanks for tuning in. 💪🏽💪🏽🙂 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries y’all always do! Been with you guys for a while and even the growing since then has been awesome. Y’all the 🐐
Owned both an ecoboost and boosted coyote. They’re both super reliable at high horsepower IF YOU USE THE RIGHT FUEL. Had the ecoboost going 11s and making around 400rwhp for 2 years and now have my coyote making mid 900s and has gone 9.20s. Both cars had stock motors and transmissions. Again don’t cheap on on fuel when racing lol.
Good insight to have! Thank you. -Edgar
Fuel System as well, people always cheap out there.
Owned my s550 for 6 years now. Honestly, the mods we need more than anything are interior upgrades. Ie. Better interior panels etc.
My next car will for sure be an S550 mustang. The Lexus life has been fun, and almost everyone seems to love a low Lexus, but I've just got the 5.0 itch.
It will be the best decision you've ever made. Make sure you have an x-pipe waiting at your house when you get the car. Chop the 20lb resonator out and put your xpipe in and then proceed to smile for the rest of your life. (Except for when you have to get gas..)
Can’t go wrong with it honestly. So much support for the platform, it’ll be great! -Edgar
I have a 2018 base GT 6 speed all blacked out and lowered with Eibach sportline springs sitting on staggered 20" MMD flat black 5 spoke rims with a JLT cold air intake and Bama Rev X tune and the Corsa Sport cat back exhaust. I also have black louvers on the back and side quarter windows. Thats really all the mods you really need on the S550 except maybe a good aftermarket short throw shifter, better clutch, and upgraded brakes, which I may still do. But I dont track the car and don't plan on it. It's my daily driver and I love just running twisty roads and doing highway pulls. It's at a point right now where on a hard pull from a stop I can literally feel the front end get lighter all the way through the pull. And that's basically stock with just with a 93 octane tune. I could imagine how much more powerful it would be with headers and a supercharger or turbos. The power these little 302s are putting out is ridiculous. I'm old enough to remember when getting 1 horsepower per cubic inch was the goal. Now a stock 302 is putting out 465 hp and with some bolt ons you can double that. Back in my younger days the 80s GT foxbody was putting out 225 hp and we thought that was badass. Times have definitely changed
Any other plans for it? And do you have it up on the gallery?! -Edgar

@@FitmentIndustries I'm not sure what's next for it. Maybe upgraded brakes. It has stock base GT brakes which work fine but I still might upgrade. I might put a different rear spoiler on it too. The stock shorty one is ok but I might get the performance pack one or the Shelby one. I'm not in the gallery but let me gather the info on what I'm running and I'll upload pics.
I just loved seeing all the ones in this vid!
🙌🙌🙌 -Edgar
Everyone goes headers on the v8 for power. After an intake manifold and injectors w/e85 headers is about all it takes for FBO (cold air intakes don’t do anything on these)
Among the best looking mustangs ever
Does anyone have any info on the bumper on the red mustang at 8:33 ? It’s the best looking gt350 replica I’ve seen
Had a Nissan 180sx, Lexus IS250, and I bought a 2015 GT a couple of years ago, i love it
Any big plans for them?! Or what’s all done to them? -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries 180sx was a caged drift car, it was sold for the Datsun, which there’s a lot going on with that. L28et swapped on MS3X, Onesix CAS, to a MS3x running LS coil packs, and a lot more. Mustang just has RTR tech 7s, an intake and exhaust, all my funds are going to the Datsun now
2018+ - Bolt on, tune, e85 is 500 rwhp
Picked my 2021 up in January,coming from a foxbody mustang,the s550 is the best mustang period,it can be driven in any weather,were the foxbody was a fair weather car with all season tires,the s550 isnt the fastest,but has enough power for the streets..
Always been a fan of the S550's. They're dope! -Edgar
First thing I did with my S550 mustang was put a Armytrix exhuast on it and after some sketchy sections of road I went on fitmentindustries and bought some wider tires lmao. My car came with 235's for a GT Premium its kinda sketchy if you floor it.

Great video. I got my first mustang (15 ecoboost) 2 years ago and I love it. FBO on 93 tune & I love it. I am now looking at a RS3 but the S550 platform is amazing

These cars have a very sensitive might want to check your cable tension
The Konig's don't look like enough of a change if you already have the performance package wheels, ok choice if your going for a "premium" stock look with a base model I suppose.
I’m not cause I have a 2019 Bullitt and I get constantly asked about it and see people taking pictures. Some lady was recording my car at the gas station and their was literally a Lamborghini 30 ft away getting detailed. Californians love them. It’s a great car stock and I’ll be driving it when I’m 80.

Find a good tuner. I added a 3.0 whipple stage 2 supercharger and it was making 800hp but due to a lot of hurdles and trips to different tuning shops I stripped it due to poor tuning. Ended up selling and got a new bronco,vowed to never upgrade where tuning is required.
How’s the bronco treating you? Any clue where the car is? -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries I sold it to a guy in upstate NY, where eim originally from. I currently reside in MD so at least I won't see it on the road and regret selling it. Haha.

Ayeee, you may be right on this. 😅 -Edgar
Without even watching this I'm honestly willing to say yes. Mainly the exhaust. Got to have a pair of long tubes with a angry sounding x pipe, for a cat back I usually prefer either roush or Corsa extremes. Also I love doing chrome wheels, the best is probably American muscles buliitt Wheels with deep dish at the back. Also, a good aftermarket hood, chin spoiler and rear spoiler doesn't hurt either as long as they are not extreme (Rice) looking.
Coyote engine is rock solid, sound is kinda meh but still, the engine alone is a damn good reason to buy one. They're reliable, powerful, capable, and extremely fun to drive.
Pretty sure SavageGeese even liked these cars which is saying something.
Yes go get a 6 spd 5.0 and let me know how many trannys per mile you replace lol

Just evolving our lineup as we continue to grow and bring in more! -Edgar
Has anyone tried to put in A DCT in A S550 Mustang gt
The 13-14 Mustang is the best looking mustang in the history of Mustangs. Way nicer than the S550 and I honestly think they are the favorite modern Mustangs of most.

The first mod any new s550 owner should do is IRS reinforcement mods. The OEM parts are literally the downfall for the s550 platform. Once I did my irs mods, the rear feels more planted and stops bouncing when taking turns
Lets go! This is good info, thanks for that! 💪-Edgar
What did you get?
@@24arevans I got the irs support kit from Steeda. They’re the go to for anything suspension related for mustangs. They’re like Spoon but for mustangs. The kit came with Support bushing inserts, brackets that connect the irs to the chassis, a choice of endlinks for either drag or track setups(I got the track set) and these poly plastic type covers for the bolts that go into the irs because I was shocked to see that the bolt isn’t a tight fit into the chassis, there’s like a 1/8 or so of wiggle room around the bolt. Stock oem parts are trash
@@alexanderbmx pretty much, also doesn’t help that it’s a convertible. It lost a ton of it’s structural strength. You gotta do a lot of reinforcement underneath the car to somewhat get it back
What’s the lightest wheel it’s a sports car why the hell would you weigh it down
When I read the title, I assumed the video was going to address the question of should you modify your S550 Mustang "since the new S650 Mustang is about to drop".
You guys already planning the 8000 mile road trip? I asked you about it a few weeks ago on TikTok. Just wondering if you still remember.
Do remember! But not sure.. Its a possibility down the line! -Edgar
I got a 2013 5.0 and love it but the S550 is definitely the sleeker car
Hell yeah, what’s all done to yours so far? The S550 has definitely become a popular choice amongst enthusiasts! -Edgar
Pls do a so you want a Ford Fusion
Someone told me for the s550 that what ever you do to them you have to tune or it’ll go into limp mode :/
I didn’t know that was a thing. Dang it :/ -Edgar
Half true, don't put a big ass cold air kit on them that's increases MAF size without a tune, it'll run like crap. These cars have a LOT of technology in them and can be a bit fussy, but if you're modding them the first thing you should do is a GOOD tune if you want performance.
2018 10speed gts beat scatpack
I was debating getting one of these. I debated so long that I kept on watching videos on the s550 vs the 5.0 and my dad told me, if you’re going to get a mustang get the GT at least. And I agreed. So I skipped the s550 and went for something else. The s550 was in my budget. So was the BRZ and Civic Si. I ended up with an Si. But soon I’ll get that 5.0 or GT350
the 3.7 cyclone is worth it, people with your dads mindset is exactly why I hopped out of the mustang gang despite taking mine to VIR a bunch and it doing really well lmao
Three very different cars
@@rabidlorax1650 yeah and they all fit my budget and I liked all 3. Bud decided to stick to the most reliable one.
@@bugslayr102 yeah I was debating it but my dream car is the Shelby gt350, so if I got the s550 I wouldn’t be getting what I really want. The 5.0 would be what I want. But the s550 is what I could afford. But those ecoboost are nice especially all tuned up. If I could I’d get both a 5.0 and a eco.
@@ElPinche97 the gt350 is a 5.2 voodoo though, but if you just have to have a v8 it's ok too
