I deleted your second thread on this. Your new so please understand that you don't need to create multiple threads on the same topic. I also changed your thread title so anyone searching has a better idea of what you want rather than a "need help" title.

What is your goal for the car beyond sounding better and "being faster"?
There are many options for sound, and what one person thinks sounds good someone else will disagree. Search for sound clips of various set ups to help you decide, or find someone with what you think sounds good and ask what they have. On my 2013 I really liked the sound of the MRT Interceptor axle back mufflers.
As far as performance, get a tuner with SCT being the most popular among the tuning companies. That will be a good first step. You can move up to a Procharger, which will definitely give you more performance, a little more involved to install.

Hey everybody
So i just got a 2013 mustang v6 ... and im sure you have all been asked this many times before ...
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY CAR GO FASTER & SOUND BETTER? (I know it will never sound like a v8 but I want the best I can possibly get out of this thing)
Budget is around $5,000-$10,000, I'm pretty new to this stuff so I want to start out with the basic stuff and work my way up, any information is helpful!
Thx guys

I think your other best option is to just add a JLT 3 CAI/SCT X4 tuner combo for performance, a pair of axlebacks for the sound, and enjoy the V6 for what it is.

The Borla axlebacks cost a pretty penny so I'd suggest the Flowmaster Force II instead. These will improve the sound, and are only slightly louder than stock with no drone, so you'd still be able to cruise around in comfort and enjoy a sportier soundtrack when you get on the gas.

The JLT 3 CAI/SCT X4 tuner combo with custom tunes (I'd recommend Brenspeed) will wake up the engine, sharpen the throttle response, and add a nice induction roar upon acceleration.

Another item I'd suggest is a Barton short throw shifter (assuming your car is manual).

This trio of upgrades will make the car much more fun to drive and, for a total outlay of ~$1600, won't drain your budget too much.

Just my .02. If you want more speed, then put whatever money you would spend on headers, cai, tune, etc.. and just get a procharger. If you have a 5k to 10k budget for a build its the only way to go for the v6 if you want substantial power. The other parts will not get you the power you are looking for. Not to mention thes other parts are not worth much if you take them off. The procharger will always retain close to 50% of its value if you want to sell it later on not to mention give you better the stock 5.0 performance which the other parts won't even come close to. A procharger and and a set of axlebacks will put a smile on your face every time you hit the go pedal.
