<FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I just got a 2002 mustang V6, and yes, it's an automatic. I know, 5-speed would be a lot faster but whatever. Well I want to try to pick it up a little bit. After looking around I think I am going to get a new exhaust (preferrably flowmaster), new headers (no brand in mind), and a cold air intake (A.E.M. if available). Any advice would be very appreciated on where I should get these from, what I should get in particular? Theres gotta be someone out there who has upgraded their V6?I have researched but I can't get a definite answer.</FONT>

 

get an aftermarket torque convertor, a shift kit, some new gears, a CAI, and some underdrive pulleys. Headers won't do much, Get true dual exhaust, either cut the y pipe or get some gt takeoffs.I perfer the 40 series flowmasters, but everyone has their own opinion. Check e-bay, there are always great deals on parts. If you can afford it get a new cam, get the intakes ported and polished, some 4.2l p&p heads, pistons and crankshaft. All of this should get you as much power out of your car without adding a supercharger of turbo. You'll also want to get a fordchip to recalibrate your new gears to the speedo. Also get an aluminum driveshaft. instead of the 4.2l parts you could just get your 3.8l heads ported and polished.

 

hey.. how much does the port and polish help?!?! on a v6?

 

get the heads, upper and lower intakes, and throttle body ported and polished, should get about 35-40 more hps to the crank.

 

How much does getting the port and polishing cost?</P>

it cost about $400 to port and polish the v6 heads

 

hey i have a 02 v6 and its an automatic as well. i got the stock GT exhaust for $115 from a company in california. instead of getting cold air intake, take off your intake pickup (rubber piece that connects to the intake box) and get a k&amp;n filter. the exhaust is 15-20 hp and its cheap and the intake is about 10-15 hp and is cheap as well. good luck.
