    K&N air intake

    1) Yes, and no. It's harder than it looks in pictures, but's it's simple to the point where you won't destroy anything. 2) Technically yes, but just keep the stock one around if you need to get some work done on it. 3) You will get in the neighborhood of 0-10HP depending on a ton of other...

    wife wants V-8 sound???

    It's all personal preference. You like yours the way it is, we like ours the way it is. If you want yours to sound like a nice V6, more power to you. You shouldn't spite people for having differing opinions that yourself. Besides, not everyone can afford a GT. I'm going for as close to a...

    Average gas mileage

    I get right around 20MPG stock. I just installed CAI, and it supposedlys increases my fuel economy, so I'm looking forward to my 21, maybe 22mpg. Also, anyone who buys anything over 87 octane for a V6 is wasting money. In fact, if its cold out, your car is likely to not start since it has a...

    Check Engine Hell!!!

    Could just be the actual O2 sensor. If that's bad, the car thinks its not getting any oxygen to the engine, thus CEL comes on. Make sure that all the wires are connected to the air sensor. You'll have to take apart the airbox to check that, but it's really easy to do. Just for plastic...

    Have you done anything to the engine? Any mods or anything?

    Mac CAI Question

    There's a lot less roll in a V6 than the V8, and even less with mine since it's not a vert. That's why I'm still undecided on whether or not I want to get it or not. The CAI is nice, has a nicer breathing sound than stock intake. When you turn it off it sounds like a turbo letting out extra...

    Mac CAI Question

    :D I got it fixed. I shoved the lower pipe really hard through the fender so I had like 2.5 inches to work with underneath the fenderwell. Needless to say, it fit. Wee!

    Mac CAI Question

    Everything fits perfectly except the filter. I've got everything installed already, and it looks and fits great. I'm going to try to push the lower tube through the fender hole some more to see if I can have more of it stick out so the filter can fit without hitting anything. As for strut...

    Mac CAI Question

    So I got my Mac CAI yesterday. I installed it today, but it seems the filter I got doesn't fit on inside the fenderwell over the pipe. Its an oblong cone filter, but when I try to install it, it hits either a) the body frame, or b) an electical box that is also right behind the fender, next to...

    What could I do to make my v6 faster than a Gt or Cobra?

    Supercharger is better if you want to be quick off the line and get some decent boost at higher RPMs. Turbo will be slower of the line (turbo lag), but will usually provide more boost at higher RPMs. For "cheap" mods, CAI, true duals, ported engine, new cam, new chip, good headers, etc. The...

    A side shot of the Stang....maybe...

    15" Wheels? On the 01? Wow, that's tiny. I never knew FoMoCo made Mustangs with 15". My 02 came with the 16" (which I believe all V6's do).

    dual exhaust question

    The Mac dual exhaust is probably your best bet. I bought mine from the StangNet Partshopper, only problem is this: sold out so they had to backorder em :) After reading a lot of the posts, I'd say most people will recommend the Mac duals, or to have a custom true dual. As for bumper, no...

    Power Window Problems

    I had the same problem with my 2002 3.8. I would go to push the button for the driver side window, and it would make a loud pop and then start to go down, until one day it just stopped completely. I went to the dealer to get it fixed (under warranty, thank god), and now it just makes a quieter...
