With the Mustang, it is very difficult to go wrong with upgrades. For very little money, you can
get serious differences in sound, looks, and even performance. This is partially why the Mustang has
such a huge following around the world. But what if you want to push your car in the direction you want, you have options with staying within your
budget while upgrading in many ways. At Steeda, we have focused on giving customers the best experience
with getting the parts for their Mustangs, and with the S550 we made sure to provide enough upgrades to
be affordable for most buyers. Whether you can afford to dump thousands of dollars on a supercharger or
simply only a few hundred, we have something for everyone. Budget Exhaust ModBudget Power AddersBudget MT82 Transmission UpgradesBudget

One of the first upgrades anyone does to their Mustang is making it louder. While the cheapest option
of just sawing off parts of the exhaust exits, it will result in drone and will not have the tone you
want your car to have. This is the case oftentimes for the GT because people want to have their V8
engine heard by everyone. What oftentimes is the case is that a muffler delete will make a car louder
than intended and in many cases will make the owner regret this modification quickly. However, modifying
a different piece can get the right volume to keep the car from droning while bringing out a lot
more exhaust volume. Like most Mustang owners, exhaust is incredibly important to S550 owners. With a resonator delete, one of
the best mods for these cars is the Steeda H-Pipe Resonator Delete. This midpipe upgrade removes the restrictive
resonators in your car, freeing up more volume for the exhaust while improving backpressure and even a
very slight performance boost. While it is not as loud as a new axle-back and does not have the same
level of performance gain, but for less than half the price of many axle-back upgrades are a bargain in
upgrades. The Steeda H-Pipe is the best bang-for-your-buck upgrade you could do to your exhaust. If you
want a more raspy note you can choose the Steeda X-Pipe as well, and for the EcoBoost there are enough Y-Pipe upgrades to
choose from, all for fairly cheap, that will dramatically change how your car sounds.
If you are looking for the best way to add power, you have a surprisingly high number of options to choose
from. On the most expensive end, you have superchargers and turbochargers which while they putout a lot
of power, they are expensive and involved with multiple parts needing to be installed perfectly. However,
there are much cheaper options for those of you who want more power but don't have an extra $8,000 lying
around. With a slew of other upgrades available for your engine, you can easily bring in more horsepower.
One of the best ways to bring power into your S550 Mustang is through one of our Power Packs. We
have specially developed these for each variation of engine offered in the 2015-2023 Mustang - from
V6through GT500 - to ensure the most air and power possible is available. The Steeda ProFlow Ultimate Induction Power Pack is a perfect example of this typeof
the package which adds a noticeable amount of power. These packages include a tune,new intake, and
tuning device in order to upload to your car. Essentially, these kits are three separate upgrades that
you get for a discount altogether. Pricier than the resonator deletes mentioned before,these do still
retail for less than major options and can provide up to 30 more horsepower than your stock setup.
When improving you MT82 transmission in your S550 Mustang, there are a few things that must be done
to ensure proper operation. Many people complain that the gear throws are long in a car that is as
sporty as the Mustang, often that it would be much faster with a shorter throw between gears. While it
may not fix all the problems associated with the MT82, it will improve your transmission feeling and
shifting dramatically. Paired with other parts, such as an improved clutch and throwout bearing, you
can completely transform your driving experience.
We have been working over the years to constantly improve our Tri-Ax Short Throw Shifter with each generation of the Mustang. With how the
newest version of the MT82 is designed, we were able to develop multiple styles to better suit owners.
With the street setup, this is one of the most affordable short throw shifters on the market that will
still get you a more engaging and responsive shifter. This shifter is easy to buy and mounts to the
factory equipment from the shifter in order to make installation as easy as possible.
If you're on a budget and want to improve your 2015-2023's handling, you may not think there are
many options. Most high-performance rear wings are incredibly costly and are high-profile which some
owners may not want. These wings are more commonly found on race cars because of their large surface area
and ability to help keep the rear of the car planted. These wings unfortunately may look out of place
to some people on the street with everyday driving. There are more options though that many may
not recognize.
We took it upon ourselves at the start of the S550 generation to develop a fully functional wing as
wehave in the past for other body styles. The Steeda Functional Wing was designed to look aggressive while also being
fully functional to push your car's rear down at high speed, improving traction and letting you push the
car harder. While most usable wings and spoilers cost over $1,500, these wings are a fraction of the
price and come with everything you need to both add road presence to your car and noticeably improve its
performance.
With the Mustang, and especially the 2015-2023 model, the appearance of these cars has always been a
part to play a lasting impression. The S550 is sleek, low-slung, and overall mean to look at, and
getting them to sit right plays a major role in this. While there are different ways to go about
achieving this ride height such as with springs, many do not fully account for the change in spring rate
and can negatively affect how the car feels and handles. At Steeda, we have developed a massive list of
springs for these cars to ensure you get the perfect set for your car. To fight the issue of poor spring rate when done incorrectly, the Steeda Sport Progressive Lowering Springs for theS550 were developed. With
specially calibrated spring rates for keeping your Mustang sitting lower while being more responsive and
connected while driving, the Steeda Sport springs are a nice change to your car's performance while
giving it killer looks. This will cost you less than other springs and are relatively inexpensive to
install, too. With track-tested durability, these springs are both functional and will make your car look
better than ever. Top Superchargers For The 2015-2023 Mustang 5 Most Important Mods For Your Coyote Mustang S550 Mustang: Everything You Need To KnowThese Are The Best Budget 2015-2023 Mustang Upgrades
