    Finally got duals

    Yes, so happy that I got dual exhaust installed today and am truely loving it. Mach 1 take offs with straight back true dual pipes, so no H or X. Sounds wicked, atleast when you are used to stock lol. It does get some popping at high RPMs when you just rev it in neutral, but still sounds good...

    Current Exhaust setup video

    LTs sound pretty good, even with an O/R X-pipe. It's loud, that is for sure. Trying to break the 200rwhp mark N/A I take it? lol.

    Oil on spark plug question

    Also, the 99-00 V6 had problems with oil coming through the PCV system. I had oil on my plugs, most of it was on the back 2, more on the passenger side closest to the firewall than any others. Installing a seperator or an inline filter helps with this alot...

    PCV Delete Kits?

    Yes, it is quite similar, just the tube to be tapped on the 99-04's is the tube that goes from the driver's side valve cover to the intake manifold.

    3.9L 2004 V6 Stang

    Intake ($50 on ebay, $180 for namebrand) will yield some gains, more torque than horsepower really, dual exhaust ($400 for 2.5" manderal bent, $150 for a GT-takeoff system and $100 for your system to be modified to work with it) is the best upgrade from stock for "bolt ons", an Underdrive pully...

    Tampa Area Car Show/Meet

    If my bank account rose like I wanted it to above $200, I would go, but I only got it to $170 (up from $130!) so I don't have enough to even drive there and back =(. Unless somehow I sold my old car today.

    PCV Delete Kits?

    The main benifit is that oil vapors don't make it into the cylinder which lowers the octane rating and increases the risk of pinging. An oil seperator or a filter of some sort (inline fuel filters usually) can seperate the oil out and let your car run better.

    How much better?

    The rear axle is considered a Live rear axle for a 2004 V6, not an independant. A strut tower brace holds the frame tightly together to prevent slight deviations in the body to make the car grip better, but on the car, the front is all that has struts, the rear uses shocks, hence why it's called...

    Why did the V6 forums are dead die?

    No, not all V6 owners wish they had GTs, because there are some sixers running below 10 seconds without truely pushing the envelope of the engine. the 99-04 232ci put out 190bhp, the 05-06 244 puts out 200bhp I believe, but sometime soon, between 07 and 09, it will be the 3.5L 214ci putting down...

    I thought u guys might be interested in this

    on a 94-97 V6s, yes it is just that easy. On 98, you could have to reroute or bend I think one or two hoses and tubes, but still easy. On the 99-04, the heads, intake, fuel rail, injectors, and the fuel system would have to be modified to return style. There is a few companies out there who are...

    I thought u guys might be interested in this

    For a single port V6, it's actually fairly bolt on. Change out the intake manifold and it virtually bolts in about as easy if you did a procharger, and although it does need a tune, so does a procharger. For a split port V6, then it requires fabrication and ect to make work. So for those 94-97...

    Throttle body spacer- performance gains?

    No, it really doesn't help. Some claim it reduces the heat, but if you think about the heat would go inward not out because the heat in the engine compartment is alot hotter than the heat inside the tube coming from the fenderwell. Plus the air moves too fast. Some of them create a spin to the...

    FREE '03 GT exhaust

    I'm thinking I might have to leave to goto Fl early, cause I could leave March 3, somehow end up in Crestview and then continue on to Tampa and then everyone catch up with me on the 4th.

    FREE '03 GT exhaust

    Trust me, if I had a way to bring it back with me, I would be stopping by. Heck, I might even try to stuff it in my stang. dual exhaust :drool: OR maybe, since I'll be in FL from March 4 to 11, know any good shops who can install them that day?

    Pinging problem...any suggestions?

    On a 99-00 V6 engine, alot of the times the pinging id caused by low-octane caused by oil coming through the PCV. In 2001 the valve covers were redesigned with a baffle that prevented this, so either a new valve cover or an oil seperator is needed. I bought an inline fuel filter and hoses for...
