Default 01 v6 mustang hp gains

i was just wondering if anyone new how much hp i could gain from changing my single exhuast to a dual. and if magnaflows or flowmasters would be better. also was wondering if my 3.8l could handle 4.10 rear gears. and any other bolt ons you guys could give me would be great. i just want more power but dont have the money for a v8 or huge changes. thanks

I have true duals and i love them, sounds pretty good too, i can get you an exhaust clip in the morning if youd like, however i didn't have the car before the exhaust was put on

It will change the sound and add a little bit of power but won't really be noticable driving. Maybe 5 horses or so. Far as which is better, it all depends on what sound you like and your budget.

Here's what my 04 V6 sounds like with a Mac offroad H pipe to Mac catback to give a comparison.

It actually came out better then I thought it would. Idle, startup and up to 3.5k rpms sound good. 3.5 to 4k gets a little fart cannony for me but I don't often hit those rpm's just going to work and back and around town.

Had I thought about it, I would have welded in a couple resonators at the time which would have eliminated that but all in all, I was very happy with it.
