customizing ideas anyone?

I have a 2002 v6 cougar and I want to know if anyone knows what i will have to do to make it have a mean sound? I dont mean just slap on a big exhaust but i mean i want that muscle car sound like a camaro or trans am, not the ricey civic or integra sound? and also i want to make my 0-60 times really low do you guys know what parts i could put into the cougar for this and the sound?
Thanks

borla has a complete exaust system...mandrel bent too...:) ...and IMO borla's exauts sound the best...

also the kit comes with dual pipes out the back and looks sweet......


for lower 0-6 times...let see....go with the SVT lower and upper intake manifold....oversise throttle body......and if you really can afford it go with a turbo kit.......customcougars.com has a sweet watercooled one.....

Thanks neutrino...so you still arent going to tell me what type of kit you have on your car? and if anyone else has any performance 0-60 ideas for me let me know
Thanks

I pm you about it......its not a body kit...its a concept car called cougar S...it was designed to be a hi-perf cougar but it never made it to production since they stop making cougars.:(

i have a trubendz exhaust that is awesome i get tons of compliments about it.

for performance SVT upper intake mainfold and SVT throttle body. and of course headers.

Be sure to check out http://www.fastcougar.com/forums as well. Very helpful in finding what you're looking for. :cool:

Dont spend $5,000 on a turbo kit man....i can get a turbo kit for $3900. With more HP's than StreetFlights. Besides SF's kit has blown more motors than anyone i've seen. They have WAY to many flaws in engineering! Dont believe me ask and i'll list ALL of them.

Did i read that someone said they had the Cougar S ?? If so...dream on!!

i never said i owned a cougar s i just had a pic of one in my sig from some car show......and i was asked if that is my cougar with a body kit....i replied that it is not and its only a prototipe that never made it to production since they cancelled our cougars.....

Sorry...there are a couples Cougar S's out there. Be nice to actually know someone that owns one.

so if you're such a master of all exausts why don't you give him advice intead of picking fights with me?

in all your post you have not given one piece of advice......

you want to know my advice? ok all he really needs to do if he wants a cat-back exhaust for half the price, then he needs to buy a Flowmaster Y-pipe if he wants to do it this way. That costs about $40 then 2 Thrush Turbo Mufflers for $50 Thats FOR TWO! and if his existing exhaust has a resonator, remove it and replace with piping. $12 This job can be done at around $115. Don't wast your money on expensive mufflers or cat-backes. I have had over 25 brands of mufflers tested and amazingly the best on i have seen as far as making awsome airflow and just enough backpressure is the dynomax's mufflers which also make thrush.

If you want to run duels straight back off the mainifolds, then you will have to take it to a muffler shop and have them do it, unless you have your own pipe bender, but i would recomend a muffler shop. Then again, don't spend alot of your mony on mufflers that you are paying an extra 30-60 bucks just because a name like Borla or Flowmaster is on it. :rolleyes:

Your from Ohio heh? Where at in Ohio? If your good you can make your own exhaust without a pipe bender, you can also go side pipe if you want. Pretty cool to see a side piped Cougar! If you go true dual make sure the diameter is under 2"(od)...or you will loose way to much back pressure. Good luck!:bigthumb:

lol side pipe. i have done that once to a 1987 1500 series truck 350. threw some glassbacks on with turn downs that we actually had turned out to the sides. LOUD AS HELL!

The Cougar looks good side piped through ground effects. Just like the newer Mustang side pipes. Sides pipes can actually give you more hp's...not alot but usually more than rear pipes.:2cents:
