there are too many choices
 
so ive finally saved enough money to do something. I just cant decide what? Should i get exuahst, or a sct tuner? I would do gears and a tlock but i have to have a tuner for my speedo so im leaning toward exauhst and then getting gears and a tuner together. All help is greatly welcomed, thanks.:help:

What year mustang? V6 V8?
Pics! any mods yet?

uhh... i dunno... i think gears are the best you can do. throw some 4:10's in it and just drive with traffic, good thing is yer speedo is off by being ahead.

then get tuner.

Then exhaust!

more info!

its an 02 v6, and the reason i want to get exahust is because it will sound good and give me som hp. If you know of a good side exahust, let me know, spin tech is what im looking at right now, im hoping to use the gt model and have a shop put straits on after my cats to the muffler. what do you think?

headers will give you more HP... and losin the cats will free up some too... cat back wont do much

gears are the best bang for yer buck

and a tuner will improve MPG, throttle response, and also gain power...

I'd go gears... especially on an under powered V6

well i heard Bassani and Roush have good side exit, and they are very $$$ Also check out Borla
ur mustang is not a convertable is it b/c then u cant have side exit.

PooterStang 10-18-2006 07:00 PM

thanks, no my mustang is not a convertable, its a hard top. Yea, i knew that roush was expensive, thats why im leaning toward spintech. Thanks yall.

the V6 headers flow fine until you add boost. no need to waste time/money on V6 headers. Gears are definately the best thing to do for a the V6.
Just curious but how much $$$ do you have to spend on your car Pooterstang

Cheddarbob 10-19-2006 08:33 AM

I had never heard of Spintech untill you just said it i looked at them they seem about the same price for side exit

tennstang 10-19-2006 04:30 PM

I bought a bone stock V6 a year and a half ago... bought a tuner, K/N FIPK II, and single exit SpintTech. So far I'm very happy with the car. Did a few other things for appearance but thats all performance wise..

Gears and a TLock are a thought... but I haven't decided if I want to put any more money in the car.

Have fun... it's rather addictive.

My pics are in the PIC section at the top of the page. :Woot:

Spintech is the shit when it comes to V6 exhausts, i got the dual exit and love it. not to rag on Tennstang, but if your guna go side exit try and go both sides, looks real mean and clean.

PooterStang 10-20-2006 08:11 PM

thanks everyone. I was planing on getting the dual side exit setup from spintech, the only question i have is will the cat back for the 4.6 and 5L work on my 02. It says it only works up to 01, but ill be haveing a shop fab straits to the mufflers. Here is the page.http://www.spintechmufflers.com/spin...ntechindex.asp
Its the one that says mustang(all). thanks again.

PooterStang 10-20-2006 08:13 PM

grimm, what type of setup did you get for your car? I know it is spin tech (i think), but was it from the y pipe or did you get an x or h pipe? thaks

I make pretty good money so every month I can save about $500. I just had to spend some dough though so im a little under where I should be right now.
Yea im not planning on headers for a good while. But gears and a tuner will defenatly be my next mod after i get exhaust.

the v6 manifolds flow that well?

Mine was 530 for the kit, it's a y pipe set up and really easy to install. I'm guna get Long Tube headers and an offroad hpipe from Mac soon. Spintech isn't the cheapest, but it's the best for a V6 in my opinion. Think about it this way, you save on having the retarted hang down muffler in the rear.

another question if you dont mind. Did you do your instal your self or did you have it done? If you did it your self, was it diffuclt or pretty easy? thanks man.

better do more than gears and/or a catback if you plan on beating GTs at the track. basically you need to add nitrous to keep up or a supercharger or turbo/twin turbo setup if you want to be beating GTs. Save your money and go big or its a waste.
