Hi everyone a few months ago i got my first car a 2002 mineral grey mustang V6. When i bought it everything was stock.I put on a flowmaster exhaust with magnaflow tips.I am looking for more horsepower and speed.I want to put on a cold air intake butI am not sure what brand is best.I am also wanting to change to the gears. I'd like to do other modificationsso anyadvice to help sup up my V6 would be greatly appreached thanks.

All aftermarkter CAIs are about the same, as long as it's not an ebay CAI, so it's mainly the look you should be looking for.

 

I love that list

 

alotta people say get an ebay Cold air intake (CAI), but i got mine from BBK (costly) or u can get a MAC from Autobadges.com (one of our very own members, that way if u are dissatified you can complain lol

How does ur exhaust sound by the way? got any pics/sound clips/videos?

The most common thing is, U/D pullies from autobadges, CAI, Exhaust, and a Tune.

Got bored. I won't finish tonight, but here's a taste as to what I'm doing. Tell me what you think.

SN-95 Edge Mod Info[/b]
[/b]
Beginner Modifications – [/b]Beginner modifications can be done by themselves as they need little, to no supporting modifications done with them at the time of installation. Although the more supporting modifications, the better the end result performance wise will be. Beginner modifications are basic, often referred to as “bolt on” modifications that are fairly cheap but offer lower end performance gains. Beginner modifications can also be considered “building block modifications” because they are generally a stepping stone onto which most people build their cars. Beginner modifications can also be installed with just basic tools, and usually within two or three hours maximum. In other words, the everyday person can install these modifications.

Here is a list of “most” of the beginner modifications for 99-04 V6 3.8L Mustangs, not in any real order as they can be done in any sequence, although this is the order in which I would do them.[/i]

1.) Cold Air Intake – Good brands are MAC, K&N, BBK, JL, and AEM. Cold air intakes (CAI) are a great stepping stone modification because they increase engine efficiency throughout the power band by allowing, cooler, denser air, to enter the intake, increasing throttle response and mpg at the same time. Mustangs also have no problem with water getting into the CAI, so don’t worry about that. CAIs come in a variety of finishes ranging from black plastic, to polished chrome. Also, the material of the intake, will not, affect the temperature of the air going into the intake manifold since the air doesn’t sit inside the tube long enough to heat up more than 1-2 degrees. CAIs Average gains are between 2-4 rear wheel horse power (rwhp).
2.) Under Drive Pulleys – There are pretty much only three brands, Moto blue (42% reduction), BBK (25% reduction), and ASP (25% reduction). First of all, lets start with how they work. They work by size reduction. The bigger the reduction, the more hp freed up to go to the rear wheels, however, the side effect is a slower rotating pulley system, which can affect battery charging for people with large stereo systems. In other words, a 25% size reduced pulley system has a crank pulley that is 25% smaller than the stock pulley. The smaller pulley takes less energy (hp) to spin, therefore allowing that, now unused energy, to go to the rear wheels. However, as stated earlier, the less energy used causes the external accessories attached to the pulley system (A/C, alternator, water pump, and power steering pump) to spin slower. They are generally unaffected by this. The only difference you’ll ever notice is if you sit at a red light for a long period of time, you’ll notice your A/C will quit blowing as cold, although it will still be cool, and your headlights will dim, but that’s about the extent of the diffence. They range in finishes from billet, to custom colors. Average rwhp gains are around 5 rwhp (25%) 8 rwhp (42%) and improve mpg by roughly 4-8%.
3.)

Novice Modifications -[/b] novice modifications are mid level modifications, they are generally more expensive than beginner modifications, not really by initial cost, but rather by install cost, since most of these modifications should be done professionally. Novice modifications offer better performance gains than beginner modifications, and are generally “key” to any street/track car as they are essential for any high performing car.

Pro Modifications –[/b] Pro modification are generally high cost performance modifications that should preferably be done in kits for best results, and minimum installation cost as these modifications generally rely on several other supporting modifications to prevent damage to the car, and to allow for maximum performance. Pro modifications should “generally” always be professionally installed since most of these modifications require either extensive precise work, and or precise tuning.
