Just Got No Mods
 

Just got mustang and i dont know where to start its a '04 3.8. im thinking im gonna start with the exhaust and intake. but im not sure if i should get a flowmaster or not. and whats a good intake cant find much for the '04. or should i just start somewhere else.

Howdy and welcome to the board !!! Go with gears first and then maybe a hi flo air filter, CAI are just not really worth the money.

4.10's for the sixers.

We have a nice v6 exhaust sticky at the top go check that out before you go buy flowermasters. As for the intake there is like 1-2hp to be had, save your money for something else. Only thing i would do it search ebay for a used replacement K&N or the like filter and toss that on with the intake silencer pulled out.

the ebay intake is fine 20 bucks

with an auto tranny

the 04 V6 was a 3.9... not that it really matters and I am unsure if ALL were 3.9's... MAC exhaust FTW

I think the 40 year aniver one was a 3.9 and the 3.8 was standard

yea thats correct

I hope you dont really think those are different motors.

koo im gonna check that out

well i just went to ebay and i cant find 1 for the 3.9. do u think the 3.8 intake will fit?

Same thing it will go right on.

hell ya kool

no but it makes us feel better to have more displacemnet lol.
If ya really wanted to u could bore it out but thats a waste

I wouldn't want a 3.9 because then there wouldn't be any cool nicknames for it such as 3.hate :kekekegay:

i just ordered it so now im waiting for that. what should i get now

Well lets stop right here and ask the real question ,what do you want to do with the car? if you want to spend little moeny and drag race etc... nitrous is the way to go, if your not and want power all the time etc.. a blower or turbo is more for you. This matters because the choices you make here depends on this.

If your just trying to get some more pep from it then a simple exhaust upgrade will add some, but dont expect much without a power adder or heads,cam,intake upgrades.

If your gunna go that far as to a blower/turbo, you might as well take a step back a bit and just go buy a GT....

No v6 bashing in the v6 section.

There is nothing wrong with v6power! even more soo when you can get v8 power and v6 mileage and costs.

Oh, i didn't mean it like that. I meant if you were going to turn it into a drag race car, then you might want to save yourself some time/effort and buy a GT.

Then you can say why not a 4v and soo on. You dont have to have a drag car to make it faster :)

where did they get the extra .1ci?

they just bored it out a little bit more the guys at ford must have had nothing better to do
lol

then why not save his time and get a cobra over a GT?

im just goin to make upgrades and gas is hella expensive. so im gonna get a new exhaust and i will get a turbo or blower later. but which would u perfer a t or b?

turbo makes more power overall

A 6 with a power adder > GTs. Its just cooler :P

yea it's funny to listen to ppl bitch about how they just got whooped by a six.

ya but u cant put a turbo on a 04 3.8
