    Exhaust and (possibly engine) for now?

    once you cut off the y-pipe, you can bolt up any gt exhaust to your car, as long as the pipes are the same size. its possible to put it all together at home if you have some jackstands, but you WILL need to get it all welded together after your done, so either way you will probably need to visit...

    Exhaust and (possibly engine) for now?

    Exhaust and (possibly engine) for now?

    cut off the y-pipe, get and h-pipe made with 2.5" pipes, and look at a straight thru muffler, they tend to sound better on a V6 than chambered mufflers. the 2.5" pipes will make it sound deeper than 2.25", and you wont lose power.. i like the magnaflow or the magnapack mufflers.. or if you want...

    swaping to an 8.8

    nothing really, its supposed to be a direct bolt in swap edit: now that i think about it, he'll probably need your whole rear end to make it work, or scrounge one up from a junkyard, because 8.8 gears and diff wont fit in an 7.5 housing, same with the axles, and he'll need to recalibrate his...

    Visual Upgrades?

    lots of people like the torque thrust wheels that come on gt's, but you can get them bigger and cheaper than fords... also look at the fr500 wheels, they look pretty clean, as well as the 03 cobras.. all come in black, which sound like it would look good on your car with the accents you have, at...

    20 inch rims question

    as for the tire size, go with a 245/30-35 or 255/30-35, both are around $220-$260 per tire, depending on the brand.. a bfg g-force kdw-2 at 245/35/20 goes for $237 on tirerack

    20 inch rims question

    because they will barely fit in the back, and probably rub in the front no matter what tire size he uses, which would make him go through tires at an extremely fast rate, which = $$$$$$$, and the fact that the thin sidewall will make the ride almost unbearable

    v6 dual exhuast advice

    its basically a straight through muffler lined with pieces of fiberglass that make it extremely loud, and the longer you have them the louder they get, becasue the pieces break off.. only sounds good on trucks or big v8's

    '03 Cobra Exhaust for a '02 V6 ? Can I make it fit?

    it wont fit unless you change the pipes from the mufflers back because, like UM says, it goes under the diff on a cobra and over on gt's and 6's.. other than that, a new midpipe is all you should need.. not sure about the borla thing though
