hello everybody. i have a 2002 v6 mustang and right now it is completely stock. i'm wanting to dual out my exhaust and add a flowmaster also. i was wondering if anyone knew what size inlet and outlet i would need and any helpful hints or suggestions would be great. i am also thinking about putting a cold air intake on my car and i'm open to any other improvements that are simple to make that will help with horsepower. all help is appreciated.

stock is 2.5"? if so you do not want to go any bigger then that for duals. Also if your looking at doing it yourself, get an adapter, its a real pain in the ass if you dont have one. I know from experience. If your goind to take it to a shop and get the exhaust done. Talk with the sales guy once your cars up off the ground and tell him you want to eliminate the Y to a || it will be easier for them and youll get some nice sounds groaning from the car.
As far as CAI I would recommend a demolet intake, or you could make your own custom one, fairly easy.

Keep in mind your goals for the car. If it's 250+ hp, go with an h- or x-pipe. Best diameter is 2.0-2.25" for naturally aspirated. 2.5" is best only if you're going with N2O or some sort of power adder.

You can either get a kit from Flowmaster, Spintech, Bassani, Magna flow, etc, or you can use a GT takeoff system, with an H-pipe.

The GT takeoffs will be the most cost effective, but you will lose quite a bit of low-end hp/tq unless you have the shop put in a couple of reducer pipes. They'll know what those are.
