Howdy Howdy
How's it goin peoples, I'm new here to the forums, and hope I can help some people out, just as I need some help myself :)
I recently purchased my 06 GT, and I <3 it. Lol. Pretty much have always owned a mustang, had a 89 fox 5.0, 97 V6, and now my baby...06 4.6L GT... Everyone think's I'm crazy for buying this GT because of gas prices and all that jazz, but I tell them time and time again, I didn't buy this for gas mileage *or I would have bought a civic xD* Anyways, back to the car... I bought this car, so I could have more HP, and have a good time, and to add some modifications, now that I am in a good job, and can afford to do some shit to my car. I had some questions for you guys. Most of my friends drive mustangs, and my buddy Jason, drives a 88 Fox Body, with a crate motor among other things. He says first things first, K&N Typhoon intake, BBK ceramic shorty headers, magnaflow high flow cats, and 40s Flowmasters. I couldn't agree more with him, but I was also looking to add the Roush hood/quarter scoops, along with a throttle body, bigger FI, pulley, along with some others that escape me at the moment. This is my first car to be modded, and as you can see I know a lot about the mods, I just want to have more than 1 opinion. Any Takers? :D |
The first thing you are going to need is a tuner because anything that you do to those new motors won't be effective unless it's tuned properly it will just throw error codes at you
next I would suggest upgrading your rear end gearing to 3.73 or 4.10 because from what I hear thats the most bang for your buck |
welcome
and dont get shorty headers get LT's Intaker yes, lol, got that word from this guy in this vid http://videos.streetfire.net/video/G...ang_157808.htm lmao well anywayz get sum gears man, 4.10 gears id say that should be ur first or second and then hi flow cats, flowmasters, UDP kit, ahhh yes first a tuner |
I don't know why people are just suggesting the cats.
I'll make it simple: Cold Air Intake with Tuner (Xcal3 or whoever) 4.10 gears H or X Pipe (catted or o/r) Cat Back I wouldn't worry about headers just yet. Wait until you have done some H/C/I work, or FI. Throw on some drag radials and you have a 12 second car, all day. |
well i was just going to say make it a striaght pipe :D so u could acutally here that V8
take off cats and Mufflers |
haha thanks guys, glad to see I'm already welcomed into the community!
Steeda97, as you have brought up the h/xpipe, does an x pipe or a y pipe really make a difference? All it is, is changing the flow of exhast to a different way, I have heard numerous people say that the difference is miniscule, and no need to invest. I'd love to hear someone elses opinion! Also, I was going to put the 1.5'' Ford Racing lowering springs in there, I think the 05+ mustangs look shmexy with them. :P Raise your hand if you want to see a couple pictures! |
ohhh ya thats wat we've being waiting for man, post dem pics up manye

Im assuming they are FRPP C Springs. Go with an Eibach Pro Kit, or H&R SS's. Pick up a nice set of Tokico Shocks/Struts, and if necessary, some Caster/Camber plates, and you'll be good to go. If you don't want to do all that and just want springs I'd go with just an Eibach Pro Kit. |

Who here thinks that a Hood pin/latch kit looks ugly?
I fell in love with it after I saw the chopped 67 GT500 from Gone In 60 Seconds... And now...FOR THE PICS!: EWW at rims that came on the car: Attachment 21226 Yay at the rims I put on!: Attachment 21227 Rands: Attachment 21228 Attachment 21229 Attachment 21230 |
Take off that Team Ford sticker on the back!
The rims that were on it don't look too bad, will look better when the cars lowered a bit. and NO to the fake hood pins. lol. Nice looking car! |
I was going to get real hood pins :'(
Fake = well...fake.... SO YEAH! I plan on taking the Team Ford shit off the back, I had to threaten to sue them just to get this car lol, because they sold my trade-in 97 green V6 at the auction before I even signed the contract or title over to them. I was like... d00d....I got you on 3 felonies. Now, give me the car I want for the price I want or suffer the wrath of Blake! BuahAHAHAhahAAHAha. Needless to say they gave in, I drove off the lot, in a 25k mile, 06 Mustang GT for 19k cash, out the door, tax tag and title. Can we say pwnt? :) I brough them down from 26k haha.... fun times. I thought Wayne Brady was going to have to choke a bitch. So needless to say, they werent my best friends. Also, the check engine light has come on 4 times over the last month I have had it. And they keep expecting me to drive 55 minutes, not reimburse me for gas, and to jsut tell me that it was my fuel cap. Pricks. I hope the Dealership owner's GT500 loses to an 82 civic. |
nice rid man
ya real hood pins FTW!!! fake hood pins FTL and the rims that came with the carro werent too bad |
Eh, I wasnt too fond of them. The ride sucked, and the handling was worse. And they were starting to rust. I was like, f^ck that. Gimme the bullets. Haha
|
lol
|
Eh you really don't need hood pins on a stock hood. But to each his own.
|
Wasnt keeping the stock hood. Was going to go with a Shaker hood. I think
|
if you go with the shaker it won't give you any more power than a regular CAI it will look cool but thats about it and it costs to much for somthing that just looks cool IMO

I mean, I was also thinking about doing Roush hood/quarter scoops.
Opinion on those? Links: http://www.americanmuscle.com/roush-...ood-scoop.html http://www.americanmuscle.com/roush-...w-louvers.html Long live AmericanMuscle.com :P Already got my quarter window AmericanMuscle.com decals on their way. Aswell as 2x 4.6 High Performance emblems to put ontop of the side panel GT emblems. |
Yeah man, theres a brand new 08 GT/CS at my local ford dealership that is DIRT cheap. They are trying to get rid of it, they've had it for well over a year.
I was thinking about buying the 08, then adding that super shaker system. But with the 2010's coming out, I might have to wait. |
:P
What do you think about my idea of putting the 4.6 High Performances on the side panels? I get mixed opinions. |

As for the emblems, I wouldn't put them on top of the GT emblems, i'd take the GT emblems off, and put the 4.6 ones in its place. But thats just me. lol. |
I was saying that the regular shaker will not help any more than a CAI that one has a supercharger they are totally different but both still look cool. |

Alright, I got a question for you guys. As stated above, I just got this car about a month ago. So far I have raced:
06 Nissan 350 - Killed em 96 Riced out Supra - Got Killed BMW X5 - I lol'd. 08 Inifinity G35 - Killed em 28 Ricers - I lol'd then killed em all Does that sound about right in a stock 06 GT? I must have had 4 lengths on the G35 and 350Z.... Also raced a TA this morning on the Highway, omw to work. He honked at me, keep in mind it was 6am, and I was in the mind state *ay f^ck you budday* so I honked back...then he honked and took off, I was like qoah wtf?! so he got the drop on me, from a completely illegal 3-honk <_< that bitch, needless to say I cought him in 3rd, then once we got to about 135 he backed off, and I laughed...then got to work in 2 minutes....vs the regular 15....LOL Do these races sound about right? |
