What do you want out of your car? Better performance? Better Looks? Better Sound?

I would suggest an axle-back exhaust, a Silver Horse Racing rear honeycomb panel, you can cut the stock antenna shorter with a dremel in less then 20 sec, or maybe a new headunit for your stereo. These are all fairly inexpensive. But yea, like Rettgoings said, what do you want out of your car?

Im thinking of doing the Magnaflow Duel Catback system for a V6 and cuting an opening for the left exhaust tip and as far as what im goin for, preferably Interior Appearance and engine performance. I prefer a more sleek look of the mustang on the exterior not a racey look.

If you're going for sleek, i'd probably ditch the rocker stripes.

Yeah get:
Dual Exhaust
Cold air intake
Tuner

And that should make you more than happy for a while. But all that would run you a decent bill.

If your looking for better exhaust sound, and you dont want to spend much. (im also 17 and am flat broke. Mustang Forums was the reason i began modding because almost everyone has a beautiful car on here.)

Go with a GT takeoff muffler.

Its a single muffler taken off the right side of a Mustang gt. It has a louder throatier note to it. I love it its not too loud but you make a stand when pull away from a honda civic!

You can pick one of these bad boys up on craigslist or go to the GT section and ask if anyone wants to sell theirs.
I got mine from craigslist for about $40

Also checkout AmericanMuscle.com Pick up a shorty antenna for 20 dollars.
Good luck!

Well the first two mods I would do, would be a repectable set of duals. You will never get a straight answer on what Kind though. I have flowmasters and then get you a set of headers that should rund you about 450 if you put the headers on yourself. Dont worry about a GT bumper for that car though cause you cant find anything in Satin Silver anymore trust me I know

Get a cai/tuner and a performance muffler first!! The GT muffler will do just fine. You have an automatic and the tuner will get rid of that dangerous transmission downshift lag, improve your throttle responce, firm up your shifts and add 25 HP to the rear wheels. VMPtuning.com has a very good deal on a cai/tuner package for $479.00. Yes, It is a little expensive BUT this is the "Number 1 Best Bang for the Buck Mod" you can get! Plus in this time of high gas prices my around town gas mileage(18-20 mpg)stayed exactly the same and my highway mileage did improve. VMP has great mileage tunes.
