🌑 THE NIGHT HUNTER | STAGE 2 PACKAGE (2011-2012)

Tactical Hunter Series by Blackout Performance (Mustang GT Edition)

The Blueprint of Power. Deep Growl. Digital Precision.

The 2011–2012 Mustang GT was the world's introduction to the 5.0L Coyote. To honor that legacy, the Night Hunter Stage 2 combines raw mechanical upgrades with a modern digital overhaul. By pairing the Borla ATAK® with the Bully Dog BDX, we unlock the hidden horsepower that Ford left on the table, delivering a car that sounds like a predator and performs like one.

📈 Expected Performance Gains

When layered over your Stage 1 hardware, the Night Hunter elevates the 5.0L to a new tier of performance:

• Horsepower: Total cumulative gain of +30 to +40 HP.

• Torque: Total cumulative gain of +25 to +35 lb-ft.

• RPM Optimization: Maximizes the Gen 1 Coyote's high-revving nature, ensuring power pulls all the way to redline without falling flat.

• Firmware Calibration: Optimizes the 6-speed automatic or manual transmissions for faster, more deliberate engagement.

🛡️ The Stage 2 Arsenal

1. Bully Dog BDX Performance Programmer (#40470

The brain of your operation. The BDX is a modern, high-resolution handheld that allows for seamless cloud-based updates and custom tuning.

• WiFi Updates: Download your Blackout Performance custom tunes wirelessly—no laptop or cables required.

• Real-Time Monitoring: Use the device to track critical data like intake air temps, battery voltage, and spark timing.

• Plug-and-Play: 100% compatible with the 11–12 PCM with no unlock required. Just plug into the OBDII port and go.

2. Borla ATAK® Cat-Back Exhaust (#140372BC

Specifically tuned for the 11–12 chassis, the ATAK (Acoustically-Tuned Applied Kinetics) delivers the highest decibel levels in Borla's lineup without losing sound clarity.

• 4.5" Black Chrome Tips: These oversized tips feature a premium Black Chrome PVD finish for a stealthy, high-end look that won't flake or peel.

• Integrated X-Pipe: Includes a high-flow merge X-pipe that increases exhaust scavenging for measurable power gains and a raspy, modern muscle tone.

• Drone-Free Tech: Engineered to be loud on the outside while remaining quiet enough for conversation inside the cabin during highway cruising.

⚡ The Stage 2 Synergy

The Night Hunter transforms the S197 into a complete performance system:

• Thermal Management: The aFe Magnum FORCE intake brings in the cold air, and the Borla ATAK ensures heat is evacuated instantly through the 2.75" mandrel-bent piping.

• Digital Harmony: The Pedal 2 Metal gives you the "feel" of a race car, while the BDX gives you the actual performance to back it up.

• Boss 302 Compatibility: This system is a direct fit for the 2012 Boss 302, though it will replace the factory side-exit pipes for a more streamlined rear-exit flow.

"Relentless sound. Proven performance. The Night Hunter Stage 2 is how the first Coyote was meant to be experienced."
