performanceare you looking for some performance upgrades or body mods?
+1 on the GT muffler, you can get one for 70 bucks. Jenn is right too, its really worth saving up for a CAI/tune. It really wakes up the car. I've seen guys with CAI/Tune and single bolt on muffler running 14's in their cars consistently.
Bamachips race tune is awesome. Also, is your car the stock V6 or the Pony Package one? Later down the road, you may want to consider some take off bullits w/pnero's.
Tell us more about your ride, and your long term plans.
just put on a gt muffler, 45 minutes and sounds great found both sides on ebay for $30.
Moved thread to tech.
We have a good group of fellas in V-6 tech who may have some ideas for ya'. Search around in tech here, if you have not. You'll find a wealth of information.
Welcome to Stangnet BTW.
My humble opinion would be to save just a wee bit more ($100 more) and get an SCT-X-cal with tune. It is the backbone of these modulated vehicles and is a awesome starting point for the $.
Most fellas have had great performance (and seat of the pants) gains from Doug's tunes. Check out Bamachips link here.

well its a stock 5speed 06 mustang. it doent have a pony package, i just want to be able to keep up wit my friends 1.8T GLI
how much Horse Power will i gain if i switch to a GT muffler, and what will it do to the sound?
Those run high 15's I believe. What year is it.
Your car, with a muffler, cai and tune should run high 14's easy. with a lsd, gears, lower control arms you should hit mid 14's all day long.
well its a stock 5speed 06 mustang. it doent have a pony package, i just want to be able to keep up wit my friends 1.8T GLI
06 w/o a pony package I would add a GT muffler and a rear sway bar that should be around a $300 range with the later mods being a tune/CAI and an LSD.[/QUOTE
Thanks for the help guys.
Most 1.8Ts run similar they have been the Audi/VW staple engine for year, until the 2.0T upgrade. I believe detuned the 1.8T can run low 15s.
So long as your buddy isn't running a Garrett 3076 TT set-up you should have him easy. If he is, ummmmm you'll need to look into modifying the 4.0L with what Rygen is running.
I didn't know they run low 15's, damn. I just did a search on them and there are a bunch of them in the 11's, and a found a few in the low 11's. Crap. LOL.
