Thought I'd post a small list of some new V-6 goodies I've found on the web:

CAI from MMR (I bought mine for $199) looks real nice & picked up performance a little.

JBA - 1-1/2" Headers (kinda pricey) & single exhaust & 9mm wires

MAC Performance - 1 5/8" Headers, single exhaust & dual exhaust (the exhaust has 4" tips which may be a little big for my tastes) Headers are reasonably priced & I'm thinking about ordering a set. Anybody got any opinions on MAC products?

Magnaflow - single & dual exhaust soon to come.

And of course the XCalibrator (I bought one & loaded the 93 octane program & it works great. But I can't seem to upload the program my dealer sent me via email so I can't fine tune it. So far he & SCT can't figure out the problem. Anybody got any XCalibrator experience, maybe you can help me out.)

Don't forget gears & T-Lok also. Plus we have Flowmasters & GT take off mufflers.

Looks like the V-6 stuff is starting to show up. (Now a small 50-75hp NOS kit would be nice!)

Please add any other goodies I've left off.

 

Hey great thread man... It might be nice to have a compilation of all the v6 goodies in one spot for everyone to easily find

I dont have any personal experience with MAC stuff, but Ive heard only good things about them. Can anyone explain to me the difference in the size in headers and how it will affect performance/sound?

I had my mechanic hook up a set of basic magnaflow mufflers while we were putting on my flows. They were very quiet on the v6. The cats seem to really be taking up alot of sound on these cars, too.

MAC Performance

JBA Performance Exhaust

Modular Mustang Racing

Mustang Stuff <-- These guys have a nice variety of stuff for the v6, but its mixed in with all the other 05 stuff. They have alot of the 'smaller' items, like 4.0 badges and the HoodQuicklifts along with the more major parts. Definitly worth a look through.

 

supersixmotorsports also has ported heads for the 4.0

 

Is it worth getting a CAI on an automatic?

 

Heck yeah. Doesnt make a difference being a stick or automatic for this, you're gonna see the same gains on each

 

Do I need a reprogramming after each mod? I had always assumed that I could wait till everything was done and retune at the end (however far away that may be)

 

It looks like the MAC headers have equal length primaries, while the JBA's don't (if anyone cares).

 

What does that mean for those of us who.. dont know?

 

I'm no expert (so please correct me if I'm wrong), but the primaries are the exhaust tubes running from the cylinder head to the collector. If those tubes are of unequal length, then it is theoretically possible for the exhaust gasses from two different cylinders to run into each other at the collector instead of being evenly spaced apart. This can affect performance and sound.
Without dyno graphs of each one, there really isn't any way to tell what kind of effects it will have on performance.
Audibly, the equal length primaries will produce a smoother tone.
