If you wanna do mods intake,exhaust,UDP's should get you like 3-4 more MPG, and coast to stops.

intake, headers, exhaust, pully, good set of plugs/wires/coil, and a chip to lean out the fuel curve a little.

just iceman intake, K&N filter, pully, plug wires(mostly just smoothed the idle), and a PCM with better timing/fuel curve made my car(2000 Escort ZX2) do from the rated 33mpg highway to now i get 43mpg

what year is your mustang. if it is a mid to late 80 then convert the engine to a 2.3. if it is newer than try getting a tuner and adjust the computer for better fuel economy.

see if your car has the stock air silencer, mine droped to 15 mpg when i took it out. for a tuner, go with diablo, UDPs and a cai go to autobadges.com and get them

No turbonators dont work, diablo is a company that makes flashers(little hand held computer devices) although SCT works better and is normaly $20 cheaper. Flowmasters 40's are a good muffler, and without headers/a cam it wont be that loud.

please... the only way your gas milage dropped when you took that out is cause you started steppin on it more. if anything it would improve milage, of did i mention i dont have mine in, and i already posted my recent gas milage.

oh yeah, turbonators/tornado air stuff is all crap. dont waste your money on them.

was it carburated? on carbed motors it does work, on vehicles already with vortex intakes it doesnt do jack,

the differences are minimal, you probably wouldnt notice it. but its quite simple really, its a little tube on the end of you air intake. i forget exactly how to do it... i think you just unbuckle the plastic air filter housing, take it out, and pull off the air silencer.
