That is to the drivetrain.

I have seen factory V6's with 170 HP and I have seen them with 190 HP.

i love my exhaust setup... but be careful. there are many that will tell you the fitment of JBA isn't perfect, and I must agree. I've had to tweak them a lot just to get things to line up.

to be honest though, i'd go for the ford system if I had to do it all over again. I love the mufflers that come with that package

By the way. It would be best to give us a price range to work with. There are a bunch of mods for our stangs...some better than others in order.

40 to 50 hp from the mods mentioned above might be a bit wishful. I have the C&L, SCT tuner with tunes by Evolution, Magnaflow cat back, and pulley. You WILL feel and hear a difference over stock. My car is an auto also, but have also gone with T-lok rear w/ 3.73 gears. This makes a very noticeable difference in perf. But...realize that without going to forced induction of some kind, you are not going to be feeling the kind of change you might be wanting. That is next on the list of mods

Yeah i was thinking I was going to go with the ford racing.

And to shb5007, actually i want to get the best performance for the cheapest price. I dont really want to put more than 1500 (eh maybe a tad bit more) into the engine if thats possible.

And also, would you guys recommend that I put all the parts on at once? Because this is my first car and I really dont have a lot of extra money now. I was planning on having all of this stuff by next spring, and getting only one thing at a time.

@ slowryde - what pulley are you running ASP or PHP?

@ AMoRT - great to hear this is your first car, you are going to have a blast. each mod your interested in does it's own thing...they have benefits and they have downfalls...

I think I might just go with the C&L and predator combo and the Ford Racing duals. I think I'll probably just put the rest of my money into the exterior. Rims, tint, possibly a billet grill, and some small body details.

You will love the FRPP dual exhaust setup, looks good, sounds good, and great quality. I went with that and the SCT XCal 3 - bamachips tune and I have an 07 auto, I love it. I run the 93 race tune.

You will feel a noticable difference, I wouldn't be able to drive without my exhaust/tune/cai.
