Default Looking for rear bumper

Well went and got the back end hit today on our 2013 and the rear bumper facia/cover is busted up luckily it did not get the quarters or trunk lid and It will need a new exhaust as well.
Anyway any aftermarket rear bumpers that look better ? And which exhaust systems is better for the V6 ?
Any help is very welcome.

If someone hit you shouldn't their insurance cover the repairs? I doubt you will have much luck picking and choosing your own parts for the repairs if this is under insurance.

As far as the exhaust, the stock exhaust is best for the V6.

Well it was more my fault or weather related so Its on my insurance , but if there are better options or better looking i mean then stock then I will fix it my self.
I figured since I was going to need a new muffler I might as well spend alittle more and get something better, but being a V6 I did not really know if it would help or hurt by getting something that flows better.

Gotcha, makes perfect sense.

You can head over to the Forum Sponsors section to see reliable site sponsors that have a variety of mods.

As far as exhaust - on these cars the after market axle back mufflers are only for acoustic improvements and don't impact engine performance. In fact, you could do muffler deletes and not worry about backpressure issues. My personal view is that the stock muffler is the best for the V6 mustangs - the after market ones sound silly to me.

Good luck!

Don't be afraid to check Craigslist for used OEM mufflers that someone took off as part of an exhaust upgrade.

Jeez, I need to start checking D/FW CL then. Austin has been pretty empty for the Mustang stuff.
