Default Texas Newbie

What's up folks? I'm a newbie from Rosharon Texas that just so happened to come across the sweetest deal on a mustang an couldn't pass it up! I was a fan of GM until I realized that being loyal to a company that kills the only cars they made that ever made sense was senseless in itself. Plus the fact that the GTO wasn't very impressive to me at all when I drove it after the Mustang appearance wise, and hell the performace stock...there's not enough of a difference to even mention.

So anyway, I happened upon a 2006 GT that I have fallen for and humped 3 times so far. Right now, I'm a married man, with 3 kids...and a wife that isn't happy that I bought a car the kids can't all fit in. (She has a 2007 Pathfinder...why did I need a family car anyway??) In other words, money IS an object and I'm looking for simple and less expensive ways to get a good response out of upgrading this car. Not cutting corners, but if a 500 dollar exhaust system will yield me the same results as an 800...you get the idea.

Thanks for taking time to read my jibberish guys!! Hope for good times brother's. Later!

Welcome to the forum! Your wife will get over it, let her take a spin in it and she will be wanting to trade!

Performance wise, there is a wide variety.

the aftermarket world for your car is plentiful.
as for exhaust, its all about sound! Check some sound clips and also youtube to find the combination that you can't live without.. The power gain is just a bonus
