More car mods - 2000 Mustang V6 makeover

[NightSurge]

The V8 sound was just what all the others were saying. It may not sound quite as good as a V8, but everyone on that website who bought it said it made their V6 or V8 exhaust rumble a lot better to improve both stock and dual exhaust systems. They even had a sound clip of a V6 before and after this mod and you can definitely tell the difference. I'm not really looking for the V8 sound, that's just a bonus since my car is now identical in appearance save for GT emblems and dual exhaust.

Another cheap appearance mod would be to lower your car. I just did mine last weekend, I cut one coil out of each of the stock springs.

The CAI wont improve much of anything in honesty. I have a CAI on my 97 intrepid, sure it sounds a lot better, and quite a bit louder, but not like a v8... no v6 will ever sound like a v8

To the non-mustang owner it will sound a lot like a v8. And I know it won't sound identical, but a lot better and pretty similar.

It's a cheap mod so why not?

Also, lancec, is that a legit cobra? The bumpers don't look right for some reason. And do cobra's really not have a hood scoop?

Yeah it is, 2001. You are probably thinking of the 2003 Cobras, they have the very round fog light cowls and are supercharged.

Yep that'd be it

Is that your car in the first image of front bumper? If so I like what you did to the image to show the engine. Looks very cool!

 

[lancec2c30]

Yeah it is, you can do it with any camera if you have a tripod. You just take a picture with the hood up, then the hood down. Blend the 2 photos together in Photoshop and you're done.

Mmmm supercharged. I can get one for my truck Seems unnecessary but fun.

DO NOT CUT COILS.. It will ruin the ride quality of the car and will have adverse handling effects on the car. If you want it lowered, do it right the first time.. DO your research and get a set of good springs for only like $250.. Eibach isn't the best, but it will lower the car better than chopping springs.

Here's my car and I like to think I know what I'm doing. 480hp heads and Cam LS1. My '10 year old car' is still just as fast, if not faster than today's new cars. But I still wouldn't mind an 03 Cobra!

And look into the GT Cat back Dual exhaust.. it'll get rid of that hideous (IMO) single rusted 'tip'.
