First off I want to say I wish I had a grandma like that.

For cheap mods go with a GT take-off muffler. I have the GT dual mufflers for sale actually if you want to convert to duals. Does your stang have the Pony Package? If not I would get a GT rear sway bar as well.

if you are going to keep the v6 front bumper for awhile look into getting the 3d carbon grill got mine on ebay for $75 and it made a huge difference to the look of the front of the car

Sway bar stiffens up the car, especially when turning corners. You won't lean (roll) when you go round the corner. You should get the front & rear sway bars tho, GT take offs. That was one of the first things I did when I got my car last year, unfortunately the mods haven't stopped since!

I did feel a difference in my handling... the coils are stiffer and the rear of my car is raised slightly for a Raked look..i like it and im going to get the swaybar for christmas lol.

mstngmuscle - I had to buy both mufflers so i have the left side one sitting in my garage incase i decide to go duel...the guy just wanted to get rid of it so he told me i had to take both.

its a real simple install...all you need is basic handtools, theres one extra bracket on the V6 muffler so you will have some left over screws...theres a screw between the top of the muffler and the chassis so make shure you check round before you go pulling and tugging on it and make shure to re use the rubber gappers/spacer things...once you see it it will be real easy

The sway bars will make your car stiffer and not roll as much in the turns. It makes a huge diff. I drove a rental v6 auto without a rear sway and couldnt believe the diff from my car, it was terrible. Also sorry I can't sell you just one of the mufflers because no one really looks for just the drivers side. Selling both for $40 plus shipping, you never know if you will do duals or not

Definatley worth it..i love my muffler, pulling away from stop lights sounds great and with the windows up its not so loud so still have your ride comfort and give it a thousand miles to break in a bit.. i suddenly noticed a deeper sound in mine after about a thousand miles
