So I recently acquired an 04 Mustang, 3.9 V6. I know, I know, should have saved for the GT, but, sadly it just wasn't in the budget. I just can't afford to be passed around the insurance company like bubbas bitch. Besides, I'm happy with the 6. Its relatively quick (as opposed to my old 99 sebring... \o/), and its a 5 speed which is always a plus.
First things first:
I know its not a fast car, and I have no intentions of treating it as such. I won't rice it out, or anything like that. So, please fight back your inner douchebag and don't waste time telling me not to rice it and that "OMG U SHUD HAVE GOTS TEH V8 OMGGG V6 WOMANNNNNNNN". Ok? Ok.
Well, now that thats out of the way, a few of the things I have full intentions of doing would be to get rid of that ugly single exhaust pipe out the back and replace it with some good sounding duals. I have no idea what to look for here, because I really don't know what makes what sound. Is there any site or anything that compares sounds or anything like that? Or maybe if those of you out there that have a good sounding exhaust post a vid (with the V6, of course. Unless they sound similar?) so I can see (or hear, I guess) some different sounds. For clarification, I want a really deep, fairly loud, and somewhat raspy sound. Any help here is great.
Secondly, I want to put on a T-lok differential, simply because I feel that any rear-drive sports car should have both rear wheels turning, as opposed to the one-wheel-peel type thing. Any ideas here? A ford racing one runs around $190 on StangSuspension.com. Any place cheaper or anything better? I figure since I'm pretty low on the HP end that I shouldn't have too much to worry about in breaking one or anything, right?
Thanks a ton for the help.
