zdrainxx · September 24th, 2006, 02:16 AM

Im thinking about raing my buddy this week, and debating on if cash should be involved. I have a 2000 Mustang Convertable V6 3.7, and he has a 2001 Impala V6 3.8. Would it be wise for me to put cash in on here? I havent done anything to my car, for no cash to waste yet lol, he has a full body kit and duel exhaust. Lokin for some imput, thanks.

First off welcome to MM. Second the mustang you drive has a 3.8 liter split port motor not a 3.7. Third if you are a decent driver you will have no problems with his Impala.

Cool, would you advise i put duel exhaust on my car? It would be either duel glasspacks or duel magmaflows. Ive heard a few say yea itll sound good and such, but my uncle said itll sound like crap cuz its only a v6. Want some opionoins befor i spend the few hundred.

Stay away from glasspacks. Magnaflows too. Flowmaster and longtubes with an H-pipe is the way to go.

zdrainxx · September 24th, 2006, 02:33 AM

ok, but why should i stay away from those 2? My friend with the inpala has duel glasspacks on his.

turp · September 24th, 2006, 02:35 AM

3.8 is an even fire motor which tends to sound ricey anyways, with duals, glasspacks and magnaflows tend to amplify that imo

zdrainxx · September 24th, 2006, 02:40 AM

oh. would you reccamend a kit to this? I want to do some stuff but im not sure if i wanna mess with the performance, im only 17 and still have to finish paying it off so im a lil tenetive to play with that. But ive always found kitted cars cool.

The right body kit will not look bad. IMO though I would look around the site here and research going the performance route. In the long run you be happier this way. Fast will beat beautiful any day of the week.

my brother has an automatic 04 impala. not an SS or LS w/e it is. the normal lower one. ive raced him before in my car when i had just exhaust and within about an 1/8 mile i had over 2 car lengths on him maybe a lil more then an 1/8

if you have a few hundred to spend, get gears. and magnaflows may sound bad, but outperform flowmasters and any other muffler on the market on the v6

as i have been behind the wheel of both vehicles before, and the v6 mustang would win, the mustang is RWD the impala is FWD, just to add the base model impala is actually a 3.4L and the LS is the 3.8L. I also want to say in the 2001 impala model the rev limiter was still set higher but in the later models like 03+ they restricted it to the point of not being able to burnout any more.
