Default Exhaust mods, supercharger..worth it?

I was thinking of adding ceramic long headers and a catty x pipe and then a supercharger to my V6 Stang....is it worth it no the gains with a custom bama tune on top of it?

I really liked my 2006 with the Xcharger Xtreme - made the car very fun and put the convertible into the mid 12's at the track. Last trip there 2 guys with new 5.0's came up after a pass and said "I thought you'd be quicker, I can hear the blower" - the hood finished opening then and he counted spark plug wires and said "now I'm impressed" turned to the other guy and said "and we are getting our butts handed to us by a 6"

^This is a really cool story, thanks for sharing this with us!

You'll definitely love a Supercharged V6, I mean what's not to love! You're going to keep up with V8's but still get decent gas mileage lol. With bolt on's and a tune, you're going to have a great platform to make a lot of power!

Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future! Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266. I can also have one of them call you directly.

SKip the x-pipe. Supercharger worth it???? HELL YES!!! JimC's v6 is a testament to how good these motors are, assuming you have a good tune and don't run lean.
