Sounds like a supercharger or turbo isn't in the budget so next best thing would be a CAI/Tune package from American Muscle or Brenspeed

If you want Neons then get the Neons. Who cares what any one else thinks? If YOU like it then get it. Although, everybody in these forums will rag on you for it. I personally think that underglow isnt half bad on a white Mustang but that is just me obviously lol.
For going faster I would suggest a CAI and Tuner first as everyone already said. But Stick with a Plan like blacksmoke said or else you might end up regretting some of the things you do to it. Also Gears are very good I hear and im getting some as soon as I can. Research it on google Im sure you will find something..

not cheap i was 16 when i started saving for one tho hahah............
your looking at about 5k for turbo kit thats the turbo, intercooler, and pipein plus all the fuel upgrades you will need + tuner........
after that tho the instaltion fee is gonna be atleast 2 grand.....with labor, dyno tune, and shop materials oil and such its not a cheap process in any means...
however, i will say this....it was well worth it and id repeat this again if i had 2.
the best thing you can do imo is this.... if you want this to be a fun car while it last with the idea of selling in the future get a CAI in fact i actually have a C&L CAI for the 05-09 if interested...but at any rate get a CAI plus tuner.... then get 3.73 gears with a t-lock (it actually is cheaper to just upgrade to the 8.8 rear end)....and for exhuast go with 40 seris flows.....those mods will make your v6 mean for a cheap budget....
however if you plan to keep the car for a very long time with no intentions to sell.....skip the CAI ( you cant use it with a forced induction anyways hence why i have a C&L cai sitting my garage collecting dust) ....go ahead and upgrade your rear end to the 8.8 with 3.73s... and start saving for forced induction...or you could take a less traveled route and go to either www.supersixmotorsports.com or google tom morrona v6 performance and get a new built 4.0 or in tom's case a 4.3 stroker motor for our cars...

Unless your parents have deep pockets and don't mind you dumping many thousands of dollars of their money on your Mustang you aren't going to make your V6 Faster. If making the car faster could be done with "cheap stuff" everyone would do it. Also true dual exhaust on a 4.0 V6 doesn't make the car faster. It may change the sound somewhat but it won't make it faster. My advice wooley is to just enjoy the car as it is.
