I am planning on buying a 99 or 00 V6 Mustang at christmas. I've got a few questions hoping u guys can help me with. First off I'll tell u a little background info. I'm 17 right now and I work at Mcdonalds usually 15-20 hours a week at $5.25 an hour. So I'm not exactly rolling in the money. I make usually around $160 every 2 weeks. So here's my questions
1. Is there any significant difference between a 99 or 00 V6 mustang?
2. Anybody know how much the 99 or 00 V6's make at the real wheels?
3. What is the cheapest dual exhaust system? So far the cheapest I have found I think is the MAC direct fit from www.extremeeffect.com its $288 after S & H.
4. How much will it cost to get a direct fit installed? How much would it cost to get a true dual installed?
5. Can I put 40 series flowmasters on a mac direct fit dual exhaust?
6. How reliable are the 99 or 00 V6 mustang's?
7. What mod would u suggest that I do first to my V6 stang?
8. Tell me all what u think of this design for a 99 or 00 V6

yo raze -
I've noted your other posts and you seem like a smart guy: here is my advice -
Stop working at micie d's and get a job working a real restaruant. Catoring universally pays more then 10 an hour and it's usually two hours of hard work and six hours of sitting around. Working as a waiter at a decent joint or a busser and nicer joint will easily double your cash flow. It's a bit tougher and you'll have a bit more responcibilities but working minimum wage at an unskilled position is perhaps the most uneconomical thing a guy can do.
everyone here will jump to tell you that rear gears should be your first mod. they are right, but i've always been a fan of starting small and cheap. reconstruct your intake system. the v6 is pretty solid and i wouldn't be concerned with getting a body kit right away. they are easy to clown when attatched to near stock v6.
good luck.

What rear gears u think I should get 3:73 or 4:10 or something else? Also how much are those gonna cost to buy and how much are they gonna cost to get installed? One more question what kinda horsepower/torque gain will I see with those?

1. No none
2. I think about 164 (193 is what you hear though)
3 & 4. You can get 2 flowmaster 40 series originals brand new from ebay for about $92 with S&H. I called a local mechanic and he said that installation w/ cats and me buying the mufflers would be $175. So about $275 for me total. This is true duals and strait pipes. (no h-pipe)
5. ???????????????
6. I have no problems w/ my 99, but it only has 49k miles.
7. change wheels, then maybe 3.73's, cheap cold air intake, and duals. Body kit later.
8. Sweet; I like the xenon front bumper too.
And for the gears, I would go with 3.73's (honestly, auto or manual). And you need a posi-trac or trac-lock unit too. Really need one for the other. (7.5 or 8.8 works fine) No horsepower/torque gain, even your better acceleration will feel like it.

1. Is there any significant difference between a 99 or 00 V6 mustang?
Not significant, though Ford upped the hp rating from 187 (190 on brochures) to 193 (which Ford has been known to say at times). Its not big, but its there. This is between 99 to 2000.
2. Anybody know how much the 99 or 00 V6's make at the real wheels?
Not enough. But if you want a guesstimate, about 165-170.
3. What is the cheapest dual exhaust system? So far the cheapest I have found I think is the MAC direct fit from www.extremeeffect.com its $288 after S & H.
www.macperformance.com
www.stangparts.com
www.bbkperformance.com
www.50resto.com <---- if you order from here, tell em Los from TRS sent you.
4. How much will it cost to get a direct fit installed? How much would it cost to get a true dual installed?
It shouldn't be much. Get a friend who knows how to put pipes up. My xpipe was no problem at all.
5. Can I put 40 series flowmasters on a mac direct fit dual exhaust?
Are you trying to run four mufflers? You want either Mac mufflers or Flowmaster mufflers. But yeah, they should fit in the piping.
6. How reliable are the 99 or 00 V6 mustang's?
More reliable than a 94-97. Those corked head gaskets blow.
7. What mod would u suggest that I do first to my V6 stang?
Gears, though I have yet to put any in my car. Gears or a blower.
8. Tell me all what u think of this design for a 99 or 00 V6

Will all honesty, I'm not down with cars with body kits.
