Yeah i plan to get a tuner either during this winter (if budget doesn't get blow away already HAHA) and the down the road be able to take advantage of everything and get more powa out of it 
Like right now, I like how it sounds, not obnoxiously loud and not bothering one bit at speed, so i don't really want to touche the rest of the system yet in fear of drone HA! did gave me a lesson on the FoST .... was unbearable! although i know i leave HP on the table without long tubes ...

I found my 08 had ok power, but worse handled very bad, to much body roll
a little loose in turns etc. I would likely do a cold air kit and tune, to improve performance first.
I would invest your first monies into suspension, then brakes., Brakes not bad with 300 HP, but get almost scary with power.
consider 373 gears for torq. A bit better clutch. X pipe will give you a little as well.
So option one, cost more, but can do over time. Build a motor. long tubes, heads, cams and if really wanna have fun bottom end.
This done right will cost about 6-8k but can do a bit every year. 450hp when done.
Option 2 is to get suspension, brakes etc up to snuff. then look at SC, turbo might be a little cheaper.
Keep in mind that engine is good for about 450 @ the wheels and no more than 10lbs of boost.
Any more you are playing with blowing it up. Off the shelves systems are from about 5-8k
and a weekends work, depending on how mechanical you are.
The set up I went with was a lot of work, but all in was about 4 to 4500 including my trip to Pete's
So if your willing to do a lot of work, you can save 2-4k and have same end results.
You will need a very good tune or again you risk blowing it up.

GT500s take off brakes are a nice compromise too...
Pretty cheap, use standard, widely available maintenance parts.
Exhaust-wise, I always had great experience with longtube/midpipe combo. Seems like they take the drone away from under the passenger compartment and bring it to the rear of the vehicle.

Looking good there Maxime.

Max, Ford used plastic chrome covers glued to bare aluminum wheels in those years... Can't say for sure that's how it was done on the Mustang but that's what they mostly used until they switched to PVD coating around 2014-2015. It should be possible to obtain the plastic covers and get them re-glued to the bare wheels.
It's pretty common to do it on older models F150.
