Dream Car, Check!!
Hi all!
Picked up a 50th Anniversary Limited Edition a few months ago and absolutely love it!!!
This is my 3rd Mustang and grew up around them as well. Not planning on very many mods being an LE but do plan on a Ford Racing cat-back exhaust in the spring. I keep watching YouTube videos over and over trying to decide on the touring or sport system.
Other than that I've upgraded all interior lights with diode dynamics LED's as well as the trunk and reverse light. The LED's really make the white leather POP!
Also have the tail light sequencer which I'll install in spring and installed the Lloyd 50 Years floor mats and trunk mat as I found the LE floor mats boring.
Maybe in the future if I get bored I'll install a cold air intake but will certainly only do bolt on mods to this car and keep all original parts.
Anybody have any thoughts on the Ford Racing cat back? Touring or Sport?

Congrats on the new ride and welcome! youtube is probably your best bet for comparing axle backs, its pretty subjective as to what sounds best, depends on what you like or don't like.

Congrats, you have a special car. If it is a Canadian model, its probably 1 of about 160. Glad you gonna enjoy it, rather than reget not driving it later. I've yet to see one in the wild, but hopefully they start to get driven this summer.

Thanks everyone!!!
The numbers I got from Ford is that there were 124 sent to Canada of which only 24 are Wimbledon White with Auto.
Any exhaust mod I do will be a cat-back as I don't want to cut the original muffler to install a axel back. When I take it off I will be storing it to keep all original parts.

I have done the same to my Boss. Any mods are strictly bolt on and I have saved all parts, including hardware. I went even as far as to not cut the muffler clamps off the mufflers to return it to orignal stock at a later date. If the 2015 exhaust is like mine, the mufflers should be clamped on, but either way a cat back is in order for you, as you need to get the resenators off to unleash the sound from the Coyote. A good friend of mine has a Corsa Cat Back on his 2015 Competition Orange Track Pack and it has a very aggressive sound, especially when you get in the upper RPM range.
If I was you, I would also look to replace the wheels, because if you damage one a year or two from now, you will probably not find a replacement, at least that was my thinking when I put the 2013 GT500 Track Pack take offs on mine. I went as far as buying a set of take off wheels from Kijiji so that I have spares. Even got a spare set of mufflers, springs and car cover, all from Kijiji really cheap. I have all my orignal brakes, as I also put on 2013 GT500 take offs, so the orignal rotors, calipers, pads and hoses will be put back on one day.
Also, keep all parts you replace on the car during maintenance and all documentation for future owners, as in a case like you car, it will make it more valuable as a collector car. The only orignal part I'm missing is the oil filter it was delivered with, as the first oil change was done before I bought my car used.
