I already owned a 2001 v6 stang when i traded for this one. Honestly, the only thing i wanted was the s197 looks and a convertible. I remember actually turning down gt cars because i wanted better gas mileage. now, even with a cai/tune from evolution, i still get 29 mpg.
someone on here said it best. a gt is only a second faster than the v6 in the quarter mile and you have to get to 100 mph to get to a second. Honestly, how many times are you gonna fly down the highway racing another car at 100mph? if you want a track car that will go fast, get a 2000 dollar clunker, drop a crate engine in it and run 12's. if you want a badass looking car with respectable numbers and good mpg's, get a v6 stang. thats what i did.

yeah i cant really say cause i've never driven a GT before, so reading off the papers, the 80 torque and 60 hp difference between the 6xer and the GT is irrelevant? but anywayss haha thanks for your guys' support, i was kinda forced to buy the car but im growing to like the car very much. after driving about 3k miles, the cars been waking up a bit, clutch isnt as stiff anymore etc etc. budget is an issue like most people... so i just wanna do something small for now, i just want to feel better about the appearance hope u guys understand lol. not trying to rice out the car or anything but i dislike the plain grill of the v6 so im looking to buy this billet grille, cant find the site, but i bookmarked it at home. for some reason i cant tell the difference bettwen the black chrome billet grille and chrome billet grille? the site i found was selling a black chrome for $100, while other sites has the chrome billet for 250++ they really seem the same to me so kinda confused there;; if i get a dual exhaust, im thinking of welding it done at a friends shop, what are the costs involved in getting a dual? like the hangers and such.. thanks i think i kinda rambled on here but yeah.. haha thanks

i've only researched exhaust for gt's, was gonna get the catless H-pipe FRPP borla stingers, wondering if there is anything like that for the v6?

Catless setups don't sound good on the 6ers. I have the FRPP dual kit for the 6er (x-pipe with GTA mufflers) and prefer that. There are other kits that use H, X, and y pipes.. but they all keep the cats.

newtakoff.com may have parts from, or a complete GT take off exhaust.. as well as other placed. Buying GT takeoff mufflers (they are very cheap.. and possible free if you search for them) and having a friend put together an H or X set up shouldn't cost too much.

I prefer an H pipe, then you can use the same FRPP Stingers. It will sound good.

ok that sounds great, ill get the h-pipe with the stingers. is that all i need? no hangers or w/e

i found the link for the grille. i need help from somebody to tell me what the difference between #2 and #3 is... thanks

alloy sixer, will i NEED the gt rear bumper? cause i dont mind not having the cutout unless its necessary for the muffler to fit properly

YLT09stang

damn mustang forums died out.. or maybe its cause this is the v6 forum lol idk

Ok the kit I ordered from Borla came with hangers so I didn't need to order them. If your kit doesn't include hangers, you can buy them from americanmuscle(.com). You also need over axle pipes to connect the H-pipe to the mufflers. Also, you do not NEED a GT rear bumper, but if you don't get one your going to have to cut your V6 bumper with a template from pypesexhaust(.com).
