• Before Adding Forced Induction
  Superchargers, turbo kits, and even aggressive nitrous setups can create sudden torque spikes that stress the stock powdered-metal OPGs.
  Many tuners recommend OPGs as a mandatory supporting mod for boosted Coyotes.
  
• If You Plan to Raise the Rev Limit
  Stock OPGs can fail under sustained high RPM (above 7,500), especially during hard shifting.
  Upgraded billet gears reduce the risk of tooth breakage and engine oil starvation.
• During a Timing Job or Engine Tear-Down
  If you’re already replacing timing chains, cam phasers, or doing a full rebuild, the labor overlaps.
  Adding OPGs and crank sprocket upgrades now can save thousands later.
  
• For Aggressive Track Use
  Frequent drag launches, clutch dumps, or road course abuse can shock-load the oil pump drive.
  Upgrading early ensures reliability during competition.

1. Intake & Airflow

• CAI - We recommend JLT
• Throttle Body - Ported or larger opening
• Intake Manifold - Ported

2. Exhaust System

• Header - We recommend Texas Speed
• H Pipe or X Pipe - H Pipe has less Rasp

3. Fuel & Tuning

• Custom Tune - We work with the best in the business
• E85 Flex Fuel - Who doesn't love cheap gas

Sound Characteristics

H-Pipe

• Deeper, throatier, more “muscle car” rumble.
• Slightly less raspy and aggressive than an X-pipe.
• More old-school, similar to classic Mustangs.
• Owners who want a traditional, low-end growl without too much high-RPM rasp.

X-Pipe

• Higher-pitched, smoother, more exotic sound.
• Typically louder, especially at higher RPMs.
• Sharper and raspier, with a cleaner tone at high revs.
• Owners who want a modern, race-inspired exhaust note.
  

Performance Differences

On an S550 Mustang, both designs can improve flow over the stock resonator, but the gains are small unless paired with long tube headers or other exhaust upgrades.

H-Pipe

• Slightly better low-end torque
• Good for street driving and balanced builds

X-Pipe

• Slightly better high-RPM horsepower.
• Best for track setups or drivers who spend more time in the upper rev range.
