He traded for the car modded just as it is. He bought the skid steer for $4,000, serviced it, and replaced the injection pump. Used it around his house for about a month, and traded a guy even for the mustang.

Huh then I say it's worth it since he traded for it. How many miles on the v6?

80,000 I believe. It's a procharger on it, my bad




It's sitting in his garage right now, with a busted oil pan. He was drunk trying to change the oil in it, and left a jack stand under the oil pan when he let the jack down

What else did he do to make it have 450hp?

Are headers worth getting for V6? And are they legal smog check wise in California?

Only if they are shorties and have a CARB stamp on them.

And because they would have to be shorties they wouldn't get anything horsepower wise.

What mods would effect or fail a smog check. I'm installing a CAI, a 65mm throttle body, and an dual exhaust upgrade. Would any of these upgrades make my stang fail my next smog check?

I'd say flowmasters. But that's a V8. Not sure how it sounds on a v6

It sounds crappy on a V6 IMO. I'm getting Thrush put on my V6 at the end of the month.

From what I hear flowmaster sounds the best for a v6, but even then it isn't that great of a sound.
