Do some exhaust for sound, and for some quick times do gears
some more info on your car can help narrow down what you need

Trans etc

I had a '98 V-6 before I traded it for my GT. I really liked the car and wish that there were someway that I could have kept it and bought the GT too. Anyway, I would buy a Borla or Magnaflow V-6 cat back. They are stainless steel, fit great and will last the life of the car where a Mac or Flowmaster system will rust over time and have to be replaced. I have read bad things about the fit of Mac on these and other boards. I had a Bassani system on my 98. The fit and quality were top notch but I did not like the sound. Also, I had installed a factory rear sway bar on the car and the right side tail pipe interfered with it. The sway bar was given to me free so I ditched it and kep the cat back. I also ditched the 2.73 gears and installed Motive Gear 3.27's. The gears made more of an impact on performance than the exhaust. The car was much more responsive and the gas mileage stayed the same. Brother's Performance catalog has V-6 performance parts such as pullies, throttle bodies and cold air systems. Steeda has a V-6 cat back and cold air system. If you really want to make your V-6 fly, check out Super Six Motor Sports in Georgia. www.supersixmotorsports.com. They have ported heads, ported intake mainfolds, cams, blowers, chips etc. If you have deep pockets check them out. Enjoy your 98 V-6. I did mine and miss it sometimes.

They also have a 10.5 sec v6 stang. :-) But yea Tom Y is a good guy. I visit there at least once a week.

As far as performance goes I would not buy MAC's exhaust stuff especially the y-pipe adapter kit. I do have MAC and regret it. Thats why there is a Mach1 takeoff exhaust sitting in my garage along with an x-pipe.
