Default Help with simple beginning mods!

I'm 16 and I got a 2005 V6 tungsten grey Mustang a few months ago, and all I've done to it is put a Flowmaster on the back. Some of the things I'd like to do is get a spoiler and some tires, but performance wise, I've been wanting dual exhaust. Can I just buy an H-pipe and another Flowmaster, or do I need to get a kit (of which I don't think Flowmaster makes)? Or is dual exhaust a waste of money for the V6? Also, I suppose the next thing to get is a tuner/intake. What do yall recommend on that? Of course, being 16, money is always a factor, but I don't mind saving up.

As if I haven't asked enough questions already, I got a couple drops of coffee on my beige cloth driver seat, used some Oxy interior spray, and it made the stains worse. What spray works on these Mustang's interior?

First I can't help with the stains. But from what I have read the duals are not worth the money a single good flowing muffler will net the best bang for the buck along with a cols air intake and tuner. I run the VMP setup and love it. I'm sure others will chime in soon with their preferences.

Yep, get a intake, tune and a axle back muffler. Car will drive completely different after that.

What brands are recommended with the intake/tuner?

And isn't my Flowmaster an axleback, or am I misunderstanding the term? I'm a bit of a car n00b.

Yes your flow is an axleback! I like the sound of it and in fact just got rid of it.
Well like Rygen said there is a few place out there that sell CAI/tuner kits. I went with Tuneable inductions and paid about $500 for mine he has an even better deal right now worth checking out. There are tons out there but give TI a try they are realy great with custome service.....good luck.

I had a nasty stain on my passenger seat andI used Armor All OxyPower upholstry cleaner, can't even tell it was ever there. I hope you didn't mess up your seat by using the stuff you used. If it made it worse it could possibly have permanently stained it.

I'm 17 and have an '05redfire 6, haven't started modding it yet but im saving up for an axleback, an MRT Max Thunder. I'll prolly get my parents to pay for an intake and tune for Christmas hopefully. Yup, money is pretty slow at our age. I'm gonna waxher tomorrow and get some pics up for my sig.
