Default TB + plenum or Mid pipe + mufflers to compliment V3.

So Im looking at either a decent priced Throttle body and plenum combo or mid pipe and new weld on mufflers to go with my S trim V3. I dont want to spend tons of money on either so I will go with something decently priced , I dont want to I/C it for another year due to limited funds and a planned out budget so that is out of the question. Along with Long tubes also , I dont see the point on adding them unless Im making over 450 hp which I dont want for right now, plus I would like to turbo in a few years so no need for them. Shoot me some opinions and reviews.

You don't like your current exhaust? What do you have?

Well, if you want a used MAC O/R H pipe, I got one that's taking up space and needs a new home.

I think you will enjoy the exhaust more, just because of the sound, but you can probably find a good TB/plenum combo for cheap as well and do all the above during the winter time.

throttle body and plentum will yield you more power with F/I than mid pipe and catback. But if you are looking for some sound then recommend a new exhaust but that can be expensive depending on your taste - mine was a grand but all stainless steel.

if you still have it for sale after christmas I might take that off your hands , nice plug tho lol.

Thanks for all the input guys, Unfortunately I have to sell the S/C kit (Ye I know I just bought this one lol) but I also just bought a bike , The deal I made with the women is if I bought A bike I buy her a new stereo system and sell my s/c. The bike was to tempting to turn down so we both win now, too bad Im only gonna get one ride in before snow hits. Now what Im going to do is get both the TB and plenum and the exhaust , I will more then likely spray and cam the mustang in the summer time since I will be busy riding the two wheeler.
