go for some exhaust upgrades, like a flowmaster 40 weld-in or just go for a x/y pipe. thats what i did, it made it sound alot better until i save up some fo a x/y. ive seen 40's goin for around 60 bucks. also, go for a bbk cai. it looks sweet bcuz its polished metal, it sounds cool and it gives a little better throttle response. But the biggest basic thing you can do for a 6 besides nawz, is put some 4.10 gears, a t-lok and a tune. i got a base tune, which changed shift points, air/fuel ratio and some other things along with the t-lok and 4.10 for $1260. if you've got the cash, go for the gears n other stuff.

You already have a y pipe stock.

no matter what you do short of an engine rebuild / power adder you wont be capable of running with even a stock GT mustang. You can definatly improve it but dont expect that sort of outcome form a few cheap bolt ons.
yes very true. don't throw on a CAI thinking that your gonna be fast as hell. To tell you the truth with my buttometer I felt better acceleration with my stock airbox but a K&N filter then I did with my Mac CAI

just to give you some advice....when i took my car into a mustang specific shop, they told me that true duals wouldn't be good for a v6. they said they put it onto one of their g/f's v6 mustangs and put it onto the dino and it sounded really shitty, they said it sounded just like an import. just to give you some advice....

Here's what true duals with no muffler sound like on a six, granted this is a 4.0, not a 3.9 but it should sound the same. It's actually a pair of cutouts, one on each side before the y pipe, the cutouts and the install was 125$ out the door, it can be done cheaper if you put a single cutout after the y. They aren't electronic so you have to reach under and cap them manually for this cheap...
