lookin to start moddin my car

ive had my mustang for about 2 years now and come summer im going to put a dual exhaust on it, i was also thinking about putting headers in, i have a basic knowledge of my car i was just wondering if it was something that would be possiable for me to do myself or would it be a better choice to have a shop do it for me?

if your going to get headers get long tube headers. i dont think hears are that needed on the six unless your going to run some kind of power adder.

a lot of the things that you can do to mustangs are bolt-ons most of the mods are fairly easy but it really all depends on you comfort level around tools. I would say that most of the bolt-ons anyone could do with the right equipment.

Mac LT headers, Mac shorty H, mac catback.

do it!

[locogenious]

thanks all for the help

Don't be a stranger. Hang around and ask whatever questions you have the guys here are a big help in all things mustang and otherwise

[locogenious]

yeah i was tryin to stay around i had to go runnin tho

[stangcharger]

to start off. the exhaust has enough flow for what the engine car do at your point. exhaust is really not needed and will lose you low end.

-25% UDP
-1.73 high ratio RR's
-CAI

-gears/T-lock


these are your best performance when getting started for the money spent.

exhaust is fine if your doing it for the sound. but dont expect any performance until you get that engine flowing better.

catback won't be a hard install Just gotta saw off the old one and if you don't go crazy mixing brands things will fit together real easily. As stated above MAC long tubes, MAC shorty h pipe, MAC catback will sound nice for a sixer. The header install on the other hand....... pain innn theee asssssss

[locogenious]

i plan on having the exhaust put on professionally im not gonna try that one by myself, i also plan on getting a cai asap i havent rele looked into the gears but ive noticed alot of people talkin about them so i was gonna look into them...are they easy to install at home?

Call me stupid but what is this

[locogenious]

yeah i wasent 2 sure on that one or the -25% UDP but i was just gonna look it up when i had the time

[Lazerred6]

UDP is under drive pulleys

[locogenious]

ooh..that makes sense thanks

[locogenious]

another question...i just read about the t-lok and how it puts power to both rear wheels instead of just the right rear...is it worth it to get that upgrade?

[Lazerred6]

I don't have it but as far as I know yes it is worth it

[locogenious]

man...im gonna have to rob a bank or something to get all this money lol

[Lazerred6]

Still waiting does anyone know what this is


1.73 high ratio RR's

don't do gears yourself have that professionally installed. the cai you can do fine thats about as easy as it gets

[locogenious]

i tried lookin it up and all i got was some health crap lol

[locogenious]

yeah i figured the gears would be something that needs to be done professionally
