hey guys. just bought a 95 mustang 3.8l v6 and its bone stock except for the single 40 series muffler i just had put on. i was hoping it would b louder than wat it is now.. any suggestions on how to make it louder w.o spending buku bucks or failing state inspection? also i was very disapointed in how little horsepower this car has and def need to kick it up a notch.. again w.o breaking the bank or failing state inspection.. any ideas?

 

Don't know about inspection - Louisiana is pretty lax about that. I'm not familiar with that engine and the mods to go with it, but I expect some sound advice to follow.

 

5.0 swap

 

That is sound advice!

 

5.0 is realitivly cheap. If done by searching Craigslist one can do if for under 600 bucks pretty easy

 

my buddy is selling his 5.0 and trans for 800. i just dont kno how comfortable i am with buying a used motor and trans.. for all i kno it could b junk. def dont wana drop money on a craigslist motor..

 

Buy a cheap used one on Craigslist. Rebuild it. You can pick them up here for 150 to 200 bucks. New pistons, rings, and gaskets cost around500-600 bucks. Cost a little more but then you know its good.

 

i def want to swap motors just not yet. ive only had the car for a week. lol i just need to beef it up and make it louder with wat i have in the meantime. with winter coming up.soon a motor swap wont b likely til spring.or.summer

 

4.11 gears.. that will give you a boost for now

 

where do i get 4.11 gears and whats a rough estimate on price?

 

500-600 bucks installed. American muscle.

 

oh man this is gunna b n expensive time consuming project i see it allready lol

 

Lol welcome to cars

 

im usually a honda guy but i switched to the dark side. lol honda is def less expensive lol

 

... Bet you think they are faster too huh? Lol

 

Now you did it!!! Honda might be less expensive, but you get what you pay for!

Keep your 6 for now - and have fun building that 8.

 

4.11s??? Dont you think that is a bit much lol ... I mean hes not building a race car lol ... Dont fear the gear but man that seems like an awful lot of gear for what he needs, maybe its an SN95 thing =P ... if you want louder try dual exhaust all you pay for is an X or H pipe the muffler and the over axle pipe, not sure how much it costs though

 

lol my 3.8l only comes 145hp stock. my buddys 1.8l nissan sentra has 125hp.. its kinda disapointing. lol but no i dont think they r faster.. but to close for comfort. lol

 

so r 4:11 gears to much for my 6 banga??

 

4.11 for an auto is fine. Now if his is standard I would recomend no higher than 3.73.
