Heres the various arguments I've gotten and I'll quote them..
"What the hell does an auto have to do with it? However, don't exhaust a V6
Send the money to me to put on my V8. :yes:
But in all seriousness, that's a sharp looking car. 2004 correct? Don't do intake, it'll be as worth your money as time as flushing it down the toilet and watching it spin. That car isn't going to respond to bolt ons no matter what you do. Exhaust will let it flow a little, but it wont do too much unless you do FULL exhaust (longtube headers, o/r mid pipe, and a catback), and even then it's not going to make it any faster. And a tune? Really, just trust me in telling you that no matter what you do to that thing you're not going to make it any faster short of F/I or a full engine swap. You'll just spend a lot of money for no reason. Save the money and get a GT for your next car. Just enjoy having that car for now and take care of it. Do some exterior mods if you want, as long as you don't try to make it look faster or ricey, becuase in the end it's still got the 3.8 inside. For tint I'd say 20% is usually what most people like the most, however check with your laws to see if you'll even pass inspection with 20%. I know here in NC the darkest I can get is 35% so I'll probably go tell a doctor that I'm scared of skin cancer and get a note/perscription for darker tint. Another thing that I've seen that looks REALLY good is a light (like maybe 35%) chrome mirror tint with not TOO much reflectivity. Too much and it looks like rice, just right and it looks REALLY clean. I'm thinking about doing that on mine since it looks really good on black. Also, make sure to use a reputable tinter. Make sure they are aware of the dots on the back window and have a plan to deal with them rather than just slapping the tint over them half assed and having it peel off in a year.
Anyway, congrats though, welcome to the Mustang world. If you have any questions let me know and I'll do my best to help you, though I have a GT so I may not be the best with the V6 engine."

The 3.8 v6 has plenty of potential. I've seen one in action and it really moves... It got 13.56 in a 1/4 mile.
Do some research... I'm guessing the guy had to spend big bucks... but I'm sure you can get better performance on that engine for a reasonable price..."
