new mustang owner! help?

tdwp92 · January 31st, 2010, 11:51 AM

i have a 03 base auto v6, that was passed on from my dad to me,
i have a few things on my mind for it

but i'd like your recommendations & your opinions on them,

-dual exhaust
-Cold Air intake
-New Headers

and a lot more things but i don't remember the names, so I'd rather not say the wrong things

basically things to enhance engine power and sound,

^^^ what he said.

I suggest having a plan before just throwing parts at the car, else all you end up with is an empty wallet and a dented car.

To have a plan, first thing you need to do is figure out what you want to do with the car and how it does and doesn't work for that goal. That means putting some miles on 'er how she sits.

get an sct tuner if your an auto, it will change the shifting points and you will be sexy.

goren813 · February 2nd, 2010, 09:52 AM

Hmm.

00mustang92 · February 2nd, 2010, 11:21 AM

I have a tuner also. But I've heard that it really helps shift points too. But idk cause mine 5 speed. But unless you plan on putting a lot of money into it it ain't going to run with a GT car.

goren813 · February 2nd, 2010, 01:42 PM

Fail post.

tdwp92 · February 2nd, 2010, 05:00 PM

bahahaha
my bad guys,
i was talking to my gf about things and she got onto my account and posted,
the thought that counts right,

i have had this mustang for a while now,
maybe about 7 or 8 months, i know what i want to put in,
and I'm gonna start with gears since i put bigger tires,

sorry about the "fail post".

I did exhaust, cold air, fixed up the exterior, now im doing wheels. I will probably do performance after this.

Btw, does tdwp stand for The Devil wears Prada, as in the band?

yeah, it stands for the band,
i love them.

i have 18'' BOSS rims,
black on black with a chrome outline,

i want to do exhaust but i want a good one,
most exhaust on v6's that i see on youtube and driving around san antonio sound weak..
well to me, i want the aggressive type of sound, you know what i mean?

Codeman · February 2nd, 2010, 08:20 PM

well if you want the most agressive sound that you are going to get is with 2.5 inch pipes, either flowmaster 40s or thrush mufflers, and then true duals, also add in Longtube headers.

they all sound week on youtube becuase camcorders cant get the sound level, it will only show you the basic tone.

Agressive is more import /euro cars. You might wanna check out Borla exhuasts or Magnaflow/Flowmaster with an X pipe.

I found this link to be very loud and I love this sound. Its Flowmaster 44's with and o/r H pipe.

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

Codeman · February 2nd, 2010, 08:23 PM

that is a gt, so his car won't sound that good. i was going to say wow that is the meanest v6, then i saw the badges and heard it really rev.

Matt. · February 2nd, 2010, 09:00 PM

it was just to show the differnt quality videos of youtube, cuase i found that one drasticly differnt then like everyone i have seen, its louder and cleaner then most.
Btw the is one of the reasons im getting Super 44's with an H pipe.Even thoughtmy car wont sound like that cuase its and o/r exhuast and a v8, if it sounds a little bit like it I will be pleased.

Im a big fan of the band as well.

Also for exhaust, theres really two paths to go here. Either longtube headers, off road H pipe, and Flowmaster catback or stock headers, catted X pipe, slp loudmouth1.

The first setup is comparable to a GT. It is very muscle sounding and has a deep rumble. The second is very aggressive sounding, but also raspy.

tdwp92 · February 18th, 2010, 10:08 PM

i've been wanting a gt from the start,
and now i really want one haha
I absolutely love that sound,
it sound very powerful and aggressive.

b1gdaddy98 · February 18th, 2010, 11:07 PM

enjoy the car you have now, you'll have plenty of time to get a GT i just got my first mustang and it's a v6 and I LOVE it, i can't wait to see how much i love a GT once i get it.

goren813 · February 19th, 2010, 10:03 AM

tdwp I wasn't referring to you when I said "fail post" it was about the post right above mine saying you won't run with a GT unless you shelve tons of money. Continue with modding.
