umm.... a 94 mustang v6 makes around 150hp to the crank...

and the 96-04gts make anywhere from 225-260hp to the crank...


pretty big difference if you ask me...

Yeah I know, I agree, this guy keeps saying this cuz he spent money on his V6
You should take a look for videos on a dragstrip about those 2 there's a big difference.. not that much in time but the gt really gets in front a good lenght...

Still not a huge step...
V6 parts are cheaper, 2v's (until i see some numbers on the trick flow heads) heads don't exactly flow great, I could go on and on.

Cost you more to make a [reliable] 600hp 2v GT than it would to make a 600 hp v6. Go over to v6power.net and find _J_ (jerome) and talk to him. He had a 600hp 98 cobra, and now he has a 600hp twin turbo v6 and he'll sware up an down the v6 is more fun and was cheaper to build..

Ok thats not to bad at all, what do you reccomend for exhaust im getting tired of the thing not making any noise. I know its not gonna be to loud but anythings better than the factory exhaust. I was looking into magnaflow but i hear theres some better options.

My car is loud lol...

Depends how far you want to go to make it loud...
Long tubes / full cat back / flowmaster origianl 40 series mufflers tends to have the best sound.

Modding cars are not cheap by any means. My suggestion would be to save for upgrades one at a time. If you really want cheap, add a single glasspack in place of your current muffler. Again, it is not recommended, but it is cheap......

he is right about the glasspack..that will make it loud...i personally loved when i put my o/r h pipe on...but im not sure how that makes the v6s sounds...bc even with the v8 mine is kinda raspy sometimes ha...but i like it....


umm im sure a loudmouth catback will do exactly what your looking for too!
