Default What I've discovered so far on my V6

So I finally got to take a good look over my new car. I found it has a few mods. Twin exhausts for a start, also looks like it has a small skirt along the sides, not sure if this is standard, and a power seat.

Heres some photo's

I think they all came with the power seat. Nice ride! Hope to see you in Georgia next Sunday.

The exhaust is dual coming off the manifold... the problem is that they have a Y pipe...

I dont think the power seat is a mod. It probably came stock.

Do you have any further plans for your car?

I think he was speaking of the sideskirt being a possible mod.

I doubt that the sideskirt was a mod dude. Nice car though.

yeah, the six has different side skirts. It makes the car seem leaner.

The Shelby uses the same skirts for that reason.

the GT has them painted.

So far all I've done is eliminate some rattles. I found the speaker tabs to be broken off so they were bouncing up and down under the covers.
Some self tapping screws and an exceedingly small ratchet later all fixed.

The rear pins that hold the panel over the lights are still broken. I plan to make some metal ones to replace the plastic crap.

Next ill take a look at the isolator blocks to try and cut down on some of the vibration from the exhaust.

CAI would be nice after that. I'd like the metal fuel billet. Then a huge saving period and maybe a supercharger. we will see.

I'd like to do some 1/4 mile runs but money is kinda tight right now and trashing my car into a wall would probably not be a smart move!
I have done some rally and circuit racing in my old mini and mgbgt, but my luck is against me right now heh. Those were cheap cars in comparisom

In other news ford finance couldnt finance the amount. My old dodge was sold and Greenway had agreed with us the payment amounts, so the car dropped another 1k meaning we got it for 13,100.
All we gotta do now is fix our credit and get the interest lower!

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/photo.../42567/cat/500


Looks like it has a rear and front sway bar (anti roll bar to me)

What do you think ?

Also heres a clip of how the exhaust sounds

No- that's not a rear sway bar, that's the 3 link.' target='_blank'>
