New Magnaflow 50-state headers
It will be interested to see how these are priced. For those outside of California they will also have longtube versions:

Guys, the cold hard truth is that V6 mustangs are marketed as a financially beneficial option to the GT; they're not made to be GT's, they're not marketed as GT's, they're made to save money on fuel and on sticker price. Most people buying V6 Mustangs are not at all interested in making their car MORE expensive to own and operate. As a result, there aren't a whole lot of aftermarket options for the V6 Mustang. Those companies aren't going to spend money on developing something that is going to sit on the racks in their inventory warehouses.

The V6 crowd is a lot smaller than the V8 crowd. Also, while your V6 is more powerful than a fox V8 from 20+ years ago, it's well below the power output of the modern 5.0. Your car isn't running in 1985. It's running in 2013. While the V6 is more powerful, it is still an economic option to the V8. It's still not going to be bought by most people who will make their vehicle more expensive to own. Those people are still buying the performance model.

This whole member measuring debate made me think of doing a V6 swap into a Mustang, be interesting to see what and VR38DETT would do. But in all honesty the other posters are right, the V6 probably isn't the target market for most performance companies.

That's a bad *** motor, Jackie. I have zero issues with anyone who stuffs x brand motor into y brand car. Funnest car I ever rode in is a 1987 rx7 with a 350 shoehorned in.

I agree that most that want a Mustang but aren't in to modding them will probably get a V6 since it has better economy, less to own and still all of the styling of the V8 but I disagree with that the V6 is a lesser car and its suppose to be below the output of the 5.0. If it wasn't what would be the point of having it. It appeals to people for different reasons. I could easily afford a V8 but I got a great deal on the V6 and decided I didn't want to extra expense of the 5.0 while modding it. I love how the 3.7 even heavily modded gets great gas mileage and is a very nimble car. Its also a challenge for me to make a sleeper because people like you always think well its only a V6 why didn't you get a 5.0. I will sink 10K into my car and be faster and handle better than a track pack 5.0 and still come out less. I will have fun doing it because I love to work on my car and learn. I've had many Mustangs '04 GT, '08 GT, '12 V6 and the one I have now my '14 V6 and I wouldn't trade the one I have now for anything. Its the BEST one I've had yet. I see you have a Shelby and I almost got one but the dealer didn't want to come off the 10K mark up. The 13-14 are some bad*** Stangs but even if I did get it I wouldn't get rid of my V6.
