What should I do?
Ok, so at 17 I got in a wreck and totaled my cobra....then I got a truck with a v8 and have fixed it up. But I'm going to college now, and miss the old feeling of sitting low to the ground. So I am probably going to sell my truck to get a 99-04 v6 mustang since my insurance is already sky high. I'm aiming to get 7K out of my truck and have shopped craigslist for basic v6 prices with under 100,000 miles on them. It looks like they are going for 4-5K. So my plan is to get a v6 and do some cosmetic work. In the past I've done more engine work than anything, but they were big engines. So I was thinking, depending on how much money I have to play with I want to do a Saleen or Mach 1 mock up. I figured before I do that though I want to get some rims if they don't already have them. On craigslist I can pick a whole set up for about $300, and then I want to get a nice exhaust system. From what I can tell with the v6, a nice o/r x-pipe gives it a good sound especially with out mufflers on them. But what I don't know is since there is no cat will my check engine light come on, possibly not allow me to get it inspected? Also I wanted to get a programmer, would this be able to turn that light off if it came on? As well as is there a programmer like the bullydog that shows you pressures and temperatures that is under $500?

No cats and no mufflers sucks. Generally speaking, on a stock motor, you want to keep the cats or you lose low end tq. Also, being in TX you'll never pass inspection without them. It's pointless.
If you are keeping the motor stock, keep the stock mid pipe and do a y pipe back exhaust.
If you are looking for a sweet looking V6 with a stock motor, try this one. Depending on what part of Texas, I hear the owner might even take it there for you and has the stock midpipe to go on it as well so you'll pass TX inspection.
