It's only worth it if you buy the best parts, DO NOT SKIMP.

True dual exhaust, preferably 2.25 inch smooth/mandrel bent pipes, straight through muffler, and an H/X-pipe
Custom tuned programmer like VMP, Troyer, or PHP
CAI's - several good options
MAF - Waste-O-money
Rear end gears for better take offs, 4.10's - 4.56 depending on your driveline

Basically you have the entire Mustang aftermarket at your disposal.

Your exhaust isn't gaining you anything performance wise, aesthetics is it's only purpose as it is right now.

The AF1 intake isn't being produced anymore, so finding one will be difficult. There are still other good brands out there like S&B, AEM, Volant, and K&N. A CAI alone will not net you that much, but with a custom tune you get the full potential of it.

3.73 gears will get you around, but 4.56's would be far superior.

The 99-04 Mustang aftermarket is what I was referring to, they still had 2 valve 4.6 engines.

do the gotts mod, underdrive pulleys, cams, injectors, custom tune, e-fans and gears if you want to get close to 275-280 horsepower
