Are you talking about "air intake" or "intake manifold"?

I got one of those $50 intakes from Ebay and it works just fine, don't have to spend over $100 on one from BBK or some other name brand company, your just paying for the name.

Don't get me wrong you can make a V6 sound REALLY GOOD, but its never really going to be as deep as a GT and definitely not as deep as a Mach 1 or Cobra. I can send you a sound clip of a 2000 V6 with a Borla catback, Longtube headers, H-pipe, Cam, and Ported Heads & Intake that sounds pretty nasty.

So basicly it takes more than a CAI to make your exhaust wake up, your going to want to first start off with a new catback exhaust (I recommend Magnaflow), a new midpipe, and new headers will also help.

I haven't seen any sites that will give you the bumper along with the exhaust, but you can get GT take-off bumpers from just about any Mustang site. Not sure which site will be the cheapest, just do a little shopping around. I recommend you try:

v6mustangstuff.com
mustangtuning.com
mustangparts.com
and don't forget about Ebay.com

Sorry I didn't just give you the links but I'm feeling a little lazy right now.
