you should defiantly buy MAC Performance 73 mm Mass Air System @
www.v6mustangstuff.com 289 Shipped, pretty good intake big difference in sound lol. it will give you some power too, i had shop do the custom exhaust for me which has H-pipe and two megna flow exhaust exiting under the car before the axle. You cant go wrong with the megna flow sounds like V8. I had some guy with SRT4 asked me is it a Cobra. that's a proof it sounds bad.
Exhaust cost me $300.
Like christtorres said, no reason to spend money on a huge MAF system / CAI unless you're going to do more than bolt-ons. Just get a used MAC/
BBK/
K&N CAI or get one off Ebay or something.
Also, someone who doesn't know the difference might think a stock-ish V6 is a V8, but anyone who knows what they're talking about can EASILY tell the difference, especially at higher rpms.
ok cold air intake does not give a noticable gain. you do not feel 3hp....thats in your head
Eh... I definitely felt a difference when I installed my CAI. Not HUGE, but it was noticeable, whether it was the slight power increase, throttle response, or whatever. Oh, and Roush's dyno confirmed the power increase - 5whp at the peak, and a decent amount spread around the powerband. Oh, and that was going from a
K&N filter to a
BBK CAI, not just from stock.
if you wana hang with GT's full bolt ons and 4.10s with a t-lok and a DYNO tune will be the only thing to get you that. All these mods and the tune will maybe get you low 14s depending on how you drive
Even with basically all the bolt-ons and a tune, an auto is going to have trouble going low 14's.
The fastest bolt-on auto I can think of off the top of my head was Kirk (slvr2000stang... and he now has H/C/I), and I think he was running high 14's, maybe mid-14's, before the H/C/I setup.
theres a guy with a 80 shot and bolt ons running 13.3 in a V6 on DRs though
Just curious, who are you talking about? I know Brian (punypony) ran 13.3 w/ a 80-100 shot, but I didn't think he had DR's at the time. I could definitely be wrong, though
definitely get flows or MAC for a v6
...or GT/Mach/Cobra take-offs. Cheap, louder than stock, and minimal V6-rasp.
3.8 w/ V8 take-offs
