Default Suggestions please

I have a new 2009 v6 pony package mustang, and although I would love to switch out to dual exhausts, I really wanna spend my money on other mod's right now. Can y'all suggest a single muffler, that would change the sound of my car, to a deep growl. Nothing loud or anything, just a noticeable change.

I want to eventually change out to dual exhaust, but for now, I wanna get the CAI and tunes for it, also change or add a few body parts. It is my understand that changing out the exhaust wont do much for performance, so I am just looking for sound for now.

I wouldn't suggest Flowmaster 40 series unless someone else says different. I had a Flowmaster on my 1988 Ranger Gt V6. It sounded importish. The only way to go is a true dual exhaust from your headers. Your still working on the rear bumper issue?
You know, you could always save your money and buy a Procharger set up and pretty much match my car for Hp&Tq.

I had a 99-04 V6 and I put dual flowmaster 40s on it. It sounded good, but not particularly loud. I don't think you can get a lot of depth out of a V6, unless you put something like a glasspack or cherrybomb on it. But, those sound raspy most of the time .

If you're only going single exhaust... I don't know if you would like the outcome. If you have your heart set on exhaust, I would do true duals like Obsequious1 said. It costs a bit more but it looks and sounds nicer.

As far as a procharger, if you've got about $3,000 to spend on the system and either a lot of time or another $1,000 or so to spend on installation, it's great! I have a Vortech V3 supercharger on my car, and I installed it in about a week (my Spring Break). I learned a ton and it added a ton of power to my car, although I do have a V8. However, it's certainly not a cheap way to go. I'm not sure what your HP goals are on this car, or what mods you had planned.

I did my install with simple hand tools, so if you have a vested interest in learning how to do work on your car then you can certainly do it yourself. Just don't rush it, take your time, and be thorough.
