So many questions.


Sorry I'm new here and just got my first Stang. Not sure the etiquette around here so I'll just ask my questions in this thread.

The rear bumper has a tear in it so I'm going to get a new one.
Do the GT bumpers fit the V6? I eventually want to put in dual exhaust.

What advantages do you get in a V6 from the dual exhaust?

How easy is it to put in leather seats?(covers) I want the leather seats but I'm not sure if I can just replace the covers and how easy is it to get the seats out of the car? Back seat any different?

Best indash GPS/Radio option? I've seen some from Pioneer out there but was wondering if there is something better?

Eventually I'll put in a CAI. I see some disputes to whether or not you need to get a tune after that. I know very little about Dyno tunes and such. Are there shops that do that in every state? Website to find one? I'm in Iowa.

I'm getting the car today and it's a fixer upper so I know I'll have more questions in the future. Thanks.

Re: So many questions.

I'm quite sure they do fit, yes.


What advantages do you get in a V6 from the dual exhaust?
More horsepower (I think maybe 15hp or so, i dont actually know though), better sound, better looks.


How easy is it to put in leather seats?(covers) I want the leather seats but I'm not sure if I can just replace the covers and how easy is it to get the seats out of the car? Back seat any different?
well pretty much any seat covers will look bad, because they just don't fit the seats perfectly right. I would personally get new seats...not too hard to replace, I'm pretty sure the front seats are just held in with a few bolts under the seats, rear seat just pops out by pressing two buttons underneath it in the middle of either side, and the backs of the rear seat I believe i also just bolted on.

Best indash GPS/Radio option? I've seen some from Pioneer out there but was wondering if there is something better?
hmmm...i don't know, Pioneer is pretty good, good bang for the buck.


Eventually I'll put in a CAI. I see some disputes to whether or not you need to get a tune after that. I know very little about Dyno tunes and such. Are there shops that do that in every state? Website to find one? I'm in Iowa.
I think wether or not it needs a tune depends on your year, i think i've heard that newer ones will need a tune, but I could easily be wrong. I have a 94 and that doesn't require a tune at all for a CAI.

and welcome to MM!

gt bumpers fit our cars... i have one on mine...

dual exhaust will give u a nice sound depending on which one but w/ out a tune hp gain will go unnoticed....

well if ur talkin aboutt seat covers they sell at autozone then not hard at all... but if ur talkin about re-wrapping you seats thats gonna cost u a lot of money but it'll be a nice add-on to ur car...

def. go w/ a pioneer..they're the best w/ graphics...but u want one w/ a high wattage output so it boosts ur sound the best... just look at a best buy website...u'll get an idea of what new and good... i also have the sirus sportster satelite radio and i love it.. cause i used to travel alot and i'd get all the sports and stuff...

ummm i'm not sure about the dyno tune... u should just google it... look at the K & N CAI 's... i like mine.. and you can seriously hear the air getting sucked into ur engine like crazy from inside ur car...

ask as much as u want but most of ur answers are already in threads that have been posted already so look thru those first!!! but even if u post somethin already posted... we'll def help u out.. might catch a little bad mouthin here n there but its all fun n games!lol

unfortunately your car needs a tune after every small thing you do... their have been instances where you can get away with a CAI others where the computer needs to be flashed for it to work... so that ones is up to the car...

uhh theire was something else but i forgot... so i wish you luck

have fun painting
