hey ive had my 06 v6 for like 6 months about to run into some cash so i was gonna get the following :

Magnaflow Dual Exhaust Catback System (2005+ Mustang V6) :$543.99

BBK Chrome Tuned Length Shorty Headers (2005+ V6) :$269.99

<H1 id=pagetitle>BBK Cold Air Intake (2005+ V6) :$189.99

this a good set up? lemme know i dont wanna mess jack anything up or buy the wrong parts ya know? input would be nice and appreciated.
</H1>

 

Ditch the headers.

 

what are good headers then? do i need a new throttle control also?

 

Pypes Polished 304 Stainless Steel Shorty Headers (2005+ V6) :$279.99

is this one better? or what should i look for?

 

If you were to replace headers the only way to go is long tube headers. Shorty's are a waste since the stock ones already flow pretty well

 

Keep the stock manifolds.

 

take your 1000 bucks and put it in the bank till there's 2 more just like it, then buy a blower and call it a day. Bolt-on bits aint gunna do enough to justify their idiotically high cost until you have more beef to start with.

 

is the cold air a good start though? or any ideas?

 

The 05+ stangs respond pretty well to CAI. Most come with a handheld tuner to get the most gains you want one that comes with a tune. The exhaust will basically just be for sound.

 

the v8 05+ respond really well to CAI's but I don't think you get much with a v6 car (could be wrong but pretty sure it's a tiny shitty gain). Typically a CAI is the single worst investment in making power. Some very specific models (05 GT, 03 cobra, Mach1, 00' R) get really significant gains from a CAI but that's due to them being assplugged from the factory.

If you just want more goose for passing and racing, then perhaps a 50-75hp dry shot of nitrous would be the best solution.You can pick up nitrous for under a grand installed and filled up, bolt-on bits just ain't worth a damn on a NA v6 car.

 

Even the v6 cars on 05+ get really nice gains with a good CAI and a tune. I would get a different intake setup. Justin from vmptuning.com has nice v6 CAI/tune combos and hes a damn good tuner to boot. As for te exhaust it depends what your really looking for sound or power. If you just want sound a nice muffler replacement deal which are also cheap would be the way to go.

 

05-08 Mustang V6 Custom SCT X-Cal2 or X3 Flasher and C&L Intake
Price : $625.00

that a good one?

 

hey how do you reset the ecu on a 2006 v6

 

Whatever setup he has for the v6 with a cai and tuner combo would be good. Justin the owner I know personally and is a great tuner and stand up guy about his products and tunes. You will get a nice gain with there tune/cai combo. As for resetting the computer I dont know why you need to do that, but just take the ground off the battery and turn the headlights on for 10 mins and the ecu will be cleared and reset.

 

http://www.vmptuning.com/store/index...=200&parent=92

that is your best performance for the money hands down. justin is very good.

Includes:

• Custom Programmed SCT X-Cal2 Flasher with up to 3 tunes
• VMP Intake with 3" ID MAF housing, S&B Filter, and mounting bracket
• 05+ GT Takeoff Muffler with 3" stainless tip, direct bolt-in (no welding) for stock V6 Muffler.

$599.00

All of these parts combined add 25 Rear Wheel Horse Power and 20 Rear Wheel Torque

 

nice ima get that one, is there a way where i could get the c&l intake housing, or something like it (the chrome one), not the stock one like the vmp intake has?

 

nevermind i found out that answer but i got another question

i found this exhaust kit by flowmasters for the 2005-2007 v6 runs about $240.65

is this a good part? good price?

 

do you have a link? that's pretty cheap if that's a catback.

 

i dunno if its a catback but check it out

http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...oducts_id=4057

 

is it a good deal?

 

so how bout this set up :

BBK Cold Air Intake (2005+ V6) :$189.99
05-08 flowmaster exhaust kit :$271.85(W/Shipping)

total : $461.84

good set up?

 

Have any pics of your 2006 V6? That's what I have and I'm gradually doing things to it.

 

its the same color as your just black racing stripes on it, still a stock lil v6

 

i actually got in a wreck some old hag lady pulled out in front of me and did like 9k in damage to my lil pony they didnt total it gonna fix it all and i hurt my food/ankle so a nice injury settlement to come my way, i thought i had some pictures of it on my comp. but found out i didnt and now its in a body shop gettin fixed so pics to come

 

Nice. Kinda like when someone ran me off the road last month (hit & run). I just got her back and are back into the swing of adding things. Is yours the Tungsten Gray? If so, sweet. Mine is below. I have been debating the racer stripes on mine. I saw one near me and it looks badass. My fiance however thinks otherwise. Haha.. Do you have the rocker stripe?

 

yea my passanger side one is comin off ima replace it with this:

and the racing stripes look pretty sweet on it, yea its the same gray color ima do alot of modding when i get my injury check (Not gonna be for a couple of months). im just tryin to figure out a good CAI and exhaust and i got a pretty good idea of what to get (bbk CAI and flowmaster exhaust kit)

 

Awesome... How wide are the racing stripes you have?

 

http://www.americanmuscle.com/lemans-stripes-black.html

there kinda like this.

 

The 1ft wide ones? Nice. Can't wait to see pics. I was debating those or the 10in wide ones.

 

they might be 10 in im not to sure

i like that gt fog light thing going on.
i want to do that to mine ima just get this:
