Default Performance parts for the 3.9L LS?

Im thinking of once I sell my Cobra about getting an Lincoln LS V8. I have been looking around online and am finding very few aftermarket parts for a 3.9L. Im not out looking for a set of heads or S/C, im just wanting the basics. Exhaust, Intake, the bolt ons you know. I just want to give it some more snap. I know it has a capable motor. Any Ideas? Please dont post with "Keep the Mustang instead".

What? Theres 112k, but there's decent amount of add-ons. Im assuming someone who buys the car will just tell me to take all the stuff off and lower the price. But, im starting off at $8,500.

I thought once I got it paid off about putting a 4.6 into it, but thats a ways down the road. Whats it's got now isn't bad, it's not rediculously fast or anything but respectable for a smaller V8 and mid-size car.

Wouldn't sound much like a sleeper though. My 5.0 is too loud and mechanical for someone not to notice i'd have to get a 4.6, Cobra or the GT version. It'd haul. Way easier to find add ons too.

If you swap the motor on the LS you would really screw with the weight distribution, which is the main draw of that car. you could always look for performance parts for the Jaguar. The 3.9 Lincoln is the exact same motor as the 4.0 in the jag. i know they make a super charger for their xj. Get the 2003 or newer LS that is when the horsepower went from 232 to 280. Much nicer car.

The problem with that car is that they were made for old people and old people dont usually put performance parts on their cars.
They also werent a very good selling car from what Ive noticed. I rarely see one around here.

i used to have an 06 ls and it was pretty quick for a luxury car. i would really change the car around though.
