Mods that will actually help..
 
ok, i was wondering what mods would actually help. i have a 2001 V6 auto. i know im getting dual exhaust and 4.10 gears and a C.A.I. would i need a SCT tuner for the gears? would a t-lock also help? i'd need new bearings when i get the 4.10's installed. a throttle body n spacer wouldnt help any would it? what about lowering springs? i wanted them anyway but still. any other suggestions?

well for now i just want to get my mustang looking good :cool: so for now i'm just gonna do exterior stuff and the exhaust. here's my list right of now-
- MAC catback + H-pipe
- Black billet fuel door
- Tailight smoked Tinting
- Grill Delete Kit
- A few Emblems.
- Hoodpins(2)
- Stalker Side Scoops
- 3rd brake light decal (says "mustang" )
- Black 8" shorty antenna
- Black Reflective Bumper Inserts
- GT Rear bumper
- Saleen SideSkirts
- Hypercoated Bullit Rims
- Stage 3 Roush Front Bumper w/ foglights (Get some smoked tinting for the foglights)
- Smoked Headlights
- Rear window louvers
- C-pillars
- Lowering springs
- More interrior stuff.
and paint the hooodpins, my spoiler, and exhaust tips black. By the way, my Car is Yellow. i was thinking of putting some stripes on it too but not sure on that yet. i was thinking the 2 8" stipes then the 1/4" stripes on the outside of them(if you know what i'm talking about)
i'll do perf. mods later.

To each his own...it's not the route I'd go but hey...everyone has a different taste and style...good luck with whatever route you choose.

PS...since it's a v6...wouldn't you be looking for a Y pipe???

Lol... just kidding. but really, take all the money that you are going to put into the mostely useless things listed above and buy a s/c. Your car already looks good... its a mustang. Just fix what it needs... SPEED. It doesnt really matter how good a car looks if it cant back it up with the power. Thoses things above would be nice but first i would work on the engine.

But hey, its your car so just do whatever makes you happy.... thats all that really matters.

V6_Mustang_Power 01-10-2008 10:45 AM

dont get the throttle body and spacer its not going to make that much power for the money. and you going to need a tuner when you get the gears.

H pipe is useless on a v6 Go with a X pipe... H is quieter but cuts down on the power...I have had the H on mine and I have more complements on the X pipe... the one i have is from Pypes

3.8for the win 01-10-2008 03:27 PM

X pipes are raspy and sound bad if you ask me. the H has a deeper and more American sound.

x pipes are the worst on a sixer.. a V6 is an even firing engine why would you want an X pipe then. Not sure how they sound but it makes more sense on an 8

Bottled GT 01-10-2008 03:33 PM

It's really just a choice between power and sound...I chose power...it's only a loss of like 2 hp anyways...and that's on a V8

WikidStang 01-10-2008 03:33 PM

they do a little but your still not going to get the v8 sound from adding pipes I have considered going back to H just because its a little quieter. which I doubt helps it any from dumping it before the rear axles
