    Flowmaster Installed in V6!

    If you want to get a real good idea of what the V6 with the Delta Flow sounds like just go to the Flowmaster web site...they have a sound clip of one installed on a 1990 5.0 and the sound is almost exactly what my V6 sounds like now! All I did was stop off at the local Midas and they had me out...

    Just Installed Flowmaster 40 In V6...Yee-Ha!

    All I did (or had done rather) was replace the single stock muffler with the Flowmaster 40 Series...nothing more. They had it in stock at Midas: I was in and out within an hour including the chrome exhaust pipe tip. As for tone, it sounds almost exactly like the clip for the 1990 5.0 on the...

    Just Installed Flowmaster 40 In V6...Yee-Ha!

    Sound clip...Doh! I apologize but I'm afraid my computer skills are limited; just enough to get me into trouble. Regardless, anyone who puts a Flowmaster on their V6 will not regret it! What I did was go directly to the Flowmaster web site and they have sound clips that give you at least some...

    Flowmaster Installed in V6!

    Also posted this in the V6 forum but the general 05 Stang crowd might be interested as well. Now, for the inevitable knuckle-head who accuses me of "trying to make my 6 sound like a GT", nothing could be further from the truth. I love my V6 and don't understand those that try to make theirs...

    Just Installed Flowmaster 40 In V6...Yee-Ha!

    Had a Flowmaster Series 40 Delta Flow installed yesterday in my V6 and what a difference...now THAT'S an American car sound! Definitely some increased interior noise but well worth it given the low rumble (but far from obnoxious) outside. It may have boosted the hp but I'm not certain; may...

    Flowmaster Super 40

    Based on some discussions and listening to the Flowmaster web site sound clips, I'm thinking about the Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow. It's not terribly loud but it does seem to have more of that deep rumble I'm after. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some schmuck trying to make my V6 look or...

    Flowmaster Super 40

    I know there's been loads of info. put on this site about Flowmaster series mufflers (and other exhaust mods) but it's way too much for a non-gearhead like me to interpret. So....I've heard the Flowmaster Super 40 will do a nice job of deepening the sound of the V6 and giving it a bit more of...

    Fender Badge Suggestions And Pics Please!!

    I put the tri-bar logos on my V-6 and they add a really nice touch. However, you have to be real careful in putting them on. The car, at least visually, rises from the front to the rear and if you're too quick to put the badges on they'll look crooked. What I did was drop a chalk line down...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    I don't think affordability plays a huge part in why a V-6 might tend to be more riced (can't speak with authority on whether or not this is even true). It seems to me that there's not much of a price difference between a V-6 with plenty of nice options and perhaps a more basic GT. If you're...

    Redfire stripes for Torch Red?

    Just an idea that I'm sure at least one other reader of this thread will pounce on me for but how about doing stripes in the same color but in a flat finish? You couldn't get much more subtle than that. This is something I've seen done in interior house painting; something I never would have...

    Yet Another IUP Question!

    Okay, as if there isn't enough posted on this forum about the IUP....I looked at the thread posted on the other site and while it's certainly full of information (much of it about as intelligible as a typical legal document for a novice like me) here's my question: I ordered my manual Redfire...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Wow...I had NO idea my simple assessment of the V-6 was going to result in such an active round of discussion (and a few moronic comments). However, I must apologize to some automatic tranny owners...the notion that a driver would be physically incapable of operating a manual never entered my...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    LXXVICobra pretty much hit the nail on da' head and made a good observation...there really are two kinds of Mustang buyers out there (and this no doubt applies to many cars); performance driven enthusiasts and design driven enthusaists. I happen to be of the latter persuasion. All one has to...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Hmmm....a couple of you have accused me of being "defensive" about my V-6 choice. Nothing could be further from the truth and I certainly did not mean to sound like I was attempting some moronic trashing of the GT. However, there is much more emphasis on the GT than the 6 in these forums...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Mossberg's got a good point there. There's nothing in the world like that Big American Car V-8 rumble. Believe you me, if this car was going to be a toy or I didn't currently have a nasty commute there'd be no debate...GT convertible! :nice:

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Clearly there is a preference amongst Mustang fans for the GT and I can certainly understand why. However, speaking for myself and possibly many 05 V-6 owners and soon-to-be owners (end of Jan for me...or so they say!) here goes why I chose the 6 over the GT.... I won't be racing anyone...I...

    Automatics vs. Manuals

    I agree with much of what is written above. All of my previous vehicles were manual and then we got an automatic a couple of years back....regretted it ever since. In a Mustang, it just seems like heresy to have an automatic. However, if you do a lot of stop-n-go driving an auto wouldn't be...

    Color Choices Poll

    Redfire with parch. interior....however, I saw one in black the other day and it looked damned nice! The way I saw it, that candy-apple red was too much of a Mustang cliche, the silver and the mineral grey were uninspiring (the silver "on the hoof" looks NOTHING like it does in the marketing...

    How long from ordering to build date did it take for you?

    Although this is probably old news to some on this site, I believe how quickly you get your Stang from your order date depends on what version you are purchasing. Although I have no firm dates (hope to tomorrow) my redfire V6 with numerous upgrades was ordered on 9 November and it looks like I...

    Seek Advice - V6 Fluid Changes

    I ordered my V-6 (Redfire, IUP, etc, etc.) just a couple of weeks ago so I'm well into the painful waiting period. However, might as well be prepared....I've seen a lot of conflicting advice on when to do the first fluid changes (oil, tranny fluid, etc.) and in particular what kind of oil...
