Fixed your post. You can post images directly by doing [ img ]Link [ /img ], just remove the spaces between the brackets. Right click on the image (Firefox or chrome, exploder sucks and doesn't offer that on my comp) and select "Copy image location" for the link.
Alan's wrap was pretty sweet. I liked it. I know that options for the 3.7 are limited, but look into getting the headers installed professionally if you go with BBK's. Todd and I spent 4 or 5 different days working on his BBK headers for a 2000 GT. Wasn't really thought out. If the DIY installs aren't having issues though we've got people who can help if you aren't up to it.

DON'T go with BBK headers. Just do yourself a favor and go with a different brand. The engineering is lacking. It took 3 of us about 25+ manhours of labor to finally get them in. BBK customer service was a joke. Would not own the issues their product had, even though after researching there were several horror stories on the interwebs. If only I had given due diligence and researched prior to purchasing. Oye vay. I owe Clint lunch for the next 17 years after all the time he spent banging and wrenching on those damned things. It's a good thing I sold my pistol grip .20G Mossburg years ago, otherwise there would have been holes peppered all over that thing.
Don't buy BBK headers.

Well its a good thing I post these lists lol, what do you recommend? I have never put headers on a mustang, my 04 gt I had, I heard was a nightmare to put them on so I never bothered. But I havent even looked under my 2014 yet so I have no idea. Also Alan that thing looks sick! I may try somthing similar, was your wrap just matte black or what?

I like this look, but I guess it won't be cheap :-)

Well I found some MAC Ceramic shorties, are they any good?
And wouldnt the tb help with airflow if I get full exhaust? If not,what would my money be better spent on? Like I said my other stang only had Steeda lowering springs, CAI, and a flowmaster american thunder cat back, so Im only going off what I have seen other people put on there cars.

I've heard good thing about mac for the new edge, not many guys have put headers on 2011+ v6 hear so it's gonna take some googling.
Try P ming Holden, he had a good bit done in the power area. Hadn't quite broken 300 rwhp though. One thing I remember pro dyno telling him was you definitely need to keep cats on the v6 for back pressure. Just doesn't flow enough for off road.
I'd spend your money on an mgw shifter, some shocks with your springs, and the dyno tune.

Its an Auto, so the shifter is a no go lol. What is his UN? Yea I thought about using the FRPP Clamp on xpipe,they use the stock cats. The springs went with the other car, so I will have to buy new ones at some point, but I am going to wait on lowering it for right now, until I get new wheels and tires, I have a brandnew set of tires on it so it will probably be a little while.
Well that Matte Carbon looks really good how much did it run you?
