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
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.
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.
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.

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.
Yes you should but not until and unless you’ve pushed the cars limits. Once you’ve pushed the limits you’ll know what needs to be done, following somebody else’s mod list will have you spending money making someone else’s dream car and not yours.

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.
@@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.

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.
I got mine and my last two cars were a 370z and sti I do have a love for my mustang that I didn’t have with sti but did have with my z but the s550 is my favorite car I’ve owned and wait to start making her even better to drive
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
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)
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..)
aside from forced induction there really isnt anything you can do to your s550. literally no one makes anything for the car that will generate more than 5 hp and you have to pay a bachillion dollars per HP. tuning it doesnt even produce any real power and then you get tons of error codes and BS. not worth 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
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.
I’m making roughly the same power with my boosted 5.0 (18psi E85) and always wondered what it would run in the 1/4. My best 60-130mph to date is a 4.7.
Ayy that's me at 5:20, stoked to make it in the vid! I love the S550 it's such a versatile platform. You can make a track, street, drag, drift or stance car and it can do them all very well. The aftermarket is massive in all aspects from looks to performance. The Coyote is a very stout motor that can handle boost for days whether you want to go turbo, twin screw, roots, centifugal, nitrous, or stay all motor. It can rev to almost 8k rpm, truly it's a vicious sounding V8. I almost....almost bought a 2015 Camaro SS because I've always liked Chevy's and LS motors better. I liked the 5th gen Mustang and wanted a 13-14 but I couldn't get over the sound of the 5.0. After owning one now since 2017 I can say the Coyote screaming with a Corsa Xtreme catback is sweet music and I'm looking forward to doing some headers. For the price especially used it's hard to beat as a V8 rwd sports car.
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.
FBO s550 with e85 and maxed out tune. She’s fun, nasty, and one hell of a thrill ride. Get a mustang. Get a muscle car. Hell just get what you love!!!! But get a mustang
@@FitmentIndustries I tried! Truth be told I do not know all of the upgrades on it as I kinda took over halfway through haha so I couldn’t complete the information on the website BUT just added it anyway haha
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.
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.
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.
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".
Lets go guys we still got alot of people waiting for a SO you want a Base model lancer. There is alot of info out there that i feel you guys are able to gather for people who are looking. You may feel like its not worth it but in other countries the EVO is WAY out of reach
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.
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..

Really wish FI gave some of the other mustang some spotlight, not everyone can afford to be 30k in debt to own a coyote. Guess it’s about whatever gets the most views and clout… wack, new edges are cool too!
S550's are coming within range now a days, a homie of mine just picked one up for roughly 17k! We will go over other ones, but they arent completely unobtainable. 🙂 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries yea honestly I may have exaggerated a bit but, for some straight outa high school and still in college not only can It be a bad decision but can really end up biting someone in the ass. Just wanted to express my frustration on the lack of content any non-coyote mustang gets on this channel.
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.

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.

Gen 3 added direct inject (alongside the port injection) and a higher compression ration.

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.

I got mine and my last two cars were a 370z and sti I do have a love for my mustang that I didn’t have with sti but did have with my z but the s550 is my favorite car I’ve owned and wait to start making her even better to drive
Excited to see the progress! Keep us updated on it. -Edgar
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
Anybody daily a bagged 5.0? Debating on doing that soon
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)
will be doing a supercharger build on Mach 1 on my channel soon, subscribe to see! thank you
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
aside from forced induction there really isnt anything you can do to your s550. literally no one makes anything for the car that will generate more than 5 hp and you have to pay a bachillion dollars per HP. tuning it doesnt even produce any real power and then you get tons of error codes and BS. not worth 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
An RS3?! Wooof! Big fan of those cars! What’s making you think about the switch? -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries just looking at new cars and that caught my attention the amount of power you can get out of those are insane
Why do I feel attack 🤔😂
😂😂😂 -Edgar
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.
I’m making roughly the same power with my boosted 5.0 (18psi E85) and always wondered what it would run in the 1/4. My best 60-130mph to date is a 4.7.
Love my g37 but a 5.0 is definitely my next car!
Doesn’t mention that anovia is their in-house wheel 🙄
At this point I feel that everyone knows😅 but they do look good on the s550! -Edgar
They really are everywhere saw 2 at red light but were ecoboost then me in my Gt 😂 and they took off so slow and let me pass idk why

What’s the lightest wheel it’s a sports car why the hell would you weigh it down
Among the best looking mustangs ever
Ayy that's me at 5:20, stoked to make it in the vid! I love the S550 it's such a versatile platform. You can make a track, street, drag, drift or stance car and it can do them all very well. The aftermarket is massive in all aspects from looks to performance. The Coyote is a very stout motor that can handle boost for days whether you want to go turbo, twin screw, roots, centifugal, nitrous, or stay all motor. It can rev to almost 8k rpm, truly it's a vicious sounding V8.
I almost....almost bought a 2015 Camaro SS because I've always liked Chevy's and LS motors better. I liked the 5th gen Mustang and wanted a 13-14 but I couldn't get over the sound of the 5.0. After owning one now since 2017 I can say the Coyote screaming with a Corsa Xtreme catback is sweet music and I'm looking forward to doing some headers. For the price especially used it's hard to beat as a V8 rwd sports car.
Thanks for the insight homie and happy to feature homies from the community! 🤘🏾 -Edgar
Just boost the car don’t go with any bolts ons !
Not worth the money
2018+ - Bolt on, tune, e85 is 500 rwhp
Perfect timing!! im getting my s550 ecoboost soon
Lets gooo, that should be fun! -Edgar
Checked out your coil overs in your website but none state whether they are compatible with Magnaride or not. Please update.
Shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and they should be able to answer those questions for you, thanks for letting us know! -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.
Owned my s550 for 6 years now. Honestly, the mods we need more than anything are interior upgrades. Ie. Better interior panels etc.
FBO s550 with e85 and maxed out tune. She’s fun, nasty, and one hell of a thrill ride. Get a mustang. Get a muscle car. Hell just get what you love!!!!

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

Mustang 😎
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.
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.
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".
So who uploaded it titled Don't Modify Mustang?
The funny thing about the S550 is it hasn’t outsold the previous S197 generation. So a lot of these videos and statements are not grounded in reality.

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.
Not based by motor
Yeah plus their interiors are so basic, even the gt500s are really basic on the inside compared to a s550

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
Really wish FI gave some of the other mustang some spotlight, not everyone can afford to be 30k in debt to own a coyote. Guess it’s about whatever gets the most views and clout… wack, new edges are cool too!
S550's are coming within range now a days, a homie of mine just picked one up for roughly 17k! We will go over other ones, but they arent completely unobtainable. 🙂 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries yea honestly I may have exaggerated a bit but, for some straight outa high school and still in college not only can It be a bad decision but can really end up biting someone in the ass. Just wanted to express my frustration on the lack of content any non-coyote mustang gets on this channel.
MUSTANG IS LIFE!!!
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.
