I have a Cougar V6 and I love it. I did some exhaust modifications and I have a K&N filter. I haven't lowered it or gotten rims, or anything else. I kind of want to get some sort of forced induction too. Anybody else have a cougar?

The Filter really changed the noise it makes. Now it sounds a lot deeper It also helped for horsepower a little. If you have any questions just ask.

Have you found any nitrous, turbo, or supercharger kits for your car yet? I don;t know of any off-hand, but if you are looking I will keep my eyes peeled for them. I know there is always the services of turbochargers.com, but at about $6,000 for a custom-built turbocharger, hopefully you have other options.

Well, I want to stay NA as long as I can and just do motor stuff. I want to try and get some stuff done to the head like a port and polish, stiffer valve springs and bigger valves, and I'd like to do cam work too. Oh, I also want to go to dual exhaust, but I'll need to buy headers first.

I don't have any decals. I don't like em, but I don't think they're bad at all. I want to get a windshield banner, but I don't know what color. My car is white, and I was thinking either white or red would look good.

What year cougars are you guys driving? I have a 2000 Mustang, which has the 3.8, similar the RWD Cougars. I put a K&N filter, using the Mac cold air kit, it added about 15 HP.

Has anyone put dual exhaust on one yet?

Sounds some good plans that you have for your car. Do they (as in anyone) make larger valves that are compatible with your engine? Also for staying NA, may I suggest a good old kick to your fuel delivery system, i.e. larger capacity fuel pump, rails, injectors, and fuel injector stacks.. especially with your K&N, this should help add some more power.

I'm driving a 1994 Cougar SE, 4.6L V8. Great car. Haven't done any modifications yet, but I'd like to if anyone has good suggestions for initial mods. I've heard over and over to ditch the stock air filter, so I've been thinking about doing that soon.

Hey everyone!

I don't know if any other cougar owners are still here?! I have a 2000 Cougar V6 MTX, so let me know if there are still questions/comments about the car!
