I'm 70 and a former racer. Forget what he's said. First, don't get a tuner program. 305 horspower and the V6 at over 4,000 rpm in any gear is enough to get you a fat ticket. Second, do these mods: Bilstein HD shocks/struts; 5.0 strut tower brace; Shelby rear shock tower brace--cost for all, about $1,300. The car will handle and give you a good ride. I added the best all season tires, turn off the traction control, and enjoy driving my Mustang on long, 4 hour runs.
Thank you sir! My goal is to get a 2011-2014 V6 Mustang and make it handle better! I don't want more power from that engine but do want my Mustang handle well enough for road trip. My goal is to make it super reliable so your tips was very helpful. This videos is also helpful to make the car sounds nicer tho. Big power are for Coyotes and Shelby's engines.
@@markclark8444 it's only rated for that speed. If you increase power/ flash it to remove the speed limiter, you'll wanna upgrade it before you get too wild
@@ajhill5094 mine only has a cold air intake tube and Axle back and I’m good going 135 but that’s what I set my limit too, idk about any higher than that
I kinda agree to you... 1. Suspension/ Chassis - Coilovers, beefier Panhard, Upper and Lower Control arms, sway bars, Stop the Hop from Steeda is an alternate choice, BMR KMember is a good choice. 2. Gears/ Clutch/ Driveshaft - 410 gears, stronger twin disc clutch and flywheel, one piece driveshaft 3. Wheels/ Tires/ Breaks - I like 285/40/18 front and 305/40/18 with fully forged wheels and 6 piston front and 4 piston rear big breaks, avoid discs with holes, they tend to crack on track use, stick with slotted ones 4. Intake/ Exhaust - Bigger intake, bigger Throttlebody with spacer, Long tube headers, highflow cats, Axlbacks 5. Aero - adjustable front splitters, functional wing, sideskirts, rear side splitters, I like GT500 rear valance with diffusers, inlet and heat extractor hood 6. Appearance - Racing stripes, Switchback halos and DRL board upgrade for headlamps, Amber halos for grille mounted fig lights, fake gas cap delete with plain decklid, quad tip exhausts, license plate lights LED swap
I'd do suspension and control arms first because what good is all that power if you can't grip the road properly? You could spin out and wreck if you don't upgrade the handling, which has been an issue for new Mustang owners
Better drive-ability mods offered for a manual trans 2011 Mustang by a 70 year who has learned his lessons the hard way. 1. Bilstein HD shocks and struts 2. Strut tower brace (Ford GT) and rear shock brace (Shelby American) [Bilsteins and braces greatly improve handling while improving ride comfort--all you need--and much cheaper than handling packages with lowering springs, coil-overs, & etc]. 2. Barton 2 post bracket for manual shifter (so you can hit 3rd gear) 3. Cue ball shift knob (so you can shift into reverse easily) 4. K & N air filter for better breathing and mpg (aftermarket cold air boxes aren't better than what Ford provides). Forget $800 aftermarket exhaust systems, which provide too much droning noise on long drives and make music listening difficult. Tuner mods do nothing. The V6 cams don't change to radical until you hit 4200 rpm, which is when tuner mods make a difference. How often do you hit 4200 rpm?
I have a 2014 Mustang v6 can anyone help me out with a question about final drive gear ratio.. the vehicle is a automatic.. currently has a 2.73 final drive ratio and hits 0-60MPH in 5.9 seconds or so which is plenty fast but for everyday city driving I feel like I have to be heavy on the throttle to get the power down I was wondering if having the dealership install 3.55 gears with the automatic would make a major difference from the 2.73 ? if not its not worth the money but if it changes the drive ability in city stop and go it would be worth it to me.. anyone know? I know in manuals the gears affect it more somehow but its the automatic that is my concern if it will be a noticeable difference
Lolz I have heard that gears make the biggest difference out of any other mods that people do. 3.55 is a great choice for better acceleration while still being practical
Overall I do believe that a cat back is a better option, maybe even welding in the GT diameter exhaust. I just like my Magnaflow axleback because I got it used for a really price.
I started with 1 performance exhaust 2 gt500 front conversion with hoodvent 3 AM wheels the need for speed 19 4 black paint and matte black stripes 5 spoiler and diffuser 6 not done yet but in the future procharger or super
For what it;s worth.. I had a 428CJ tricked up, and now have a V6 which is (after Tuned Header, K&N replacement, Airaid, and tune) more fun to drive on the twisty mountain roads and just generally at way less fuel burn, Custom tune makes it so.. Next .410 Driveshaft, Wattslink springs, and call it done. Pushing 72 years old. Pretty cool out so was cruising internet stumbled across this. Good luck with your efforts and in the end what you will have is what you made it to be. Thus the reward is yours. I have felt this way about quite a few things in life!
Allan Radcliffe That's so awesome that you're having fun and modding your car. Thank you so much for watching the video! We'll see where this journey takes me, we'll make it great!
@@camahavids2008 Yeah 4sure! And it makes an old dude feel good to see the younger ones (like you) with so much energy and fire inside. I feel there are only certain people who have this kind of fire, Mr. C. Santana is another fine example! I have been able to get 94 octane and expensive, but go like gone.
Danny D You can definitely hear it when the windows are closed. However, the drone at highway speeds is not bad at all. I drive long distances no problem. I've heard that drone is pretty bad if you go catless, but I'm sure that could be remedied by some nice resonators.
2012 V6 manual owner here. My mods in order 1. 3.73 gear 2.BBK 73mm throttle body + CAI 3.Shorty headers 4. lowering springs 5. Oil catch can 6. CAT/Muffler delete 7. tune I believe i’m around 350hp with this current setup. Very fun car
Billy McCrary I do agree with you, 3.73 or 4.1 gears are a must for our cars, but I was going for the more easy install bolt on mods for this video. Gears would be next for sure!
Blake Doughty I definitely agree with you, for anyone who spends a lot of time at race speeds or is trying to push a lot of power a driveshaft upgrade is crucial. However, for the average daily driver who wants to do things that will make a huge difference to the way their car looks and feels, they probably won't need a driveshaft.
i have a serious question. why is it that every car video has the same shitty EDM music at the beginning? why? does nobody who likes cars actually enjoy good music? shit.
thinh tran Ngl I forgot about the one piece drive shaft, that's a great idea if you're racing, whether in US or Mexico😉 With your exhaust setup I bet it sounds awesome!
the drive shaft is just for a peace of mind lol I don't want to take any chances of the factory drive shaft blows up under me. Also the exhaust does sounds good! Even if you just get the pypes pipe bombs axle back it still sounds like a beast. If your car is bone stock and you only have the pypes pipe bombs on it will back fire like hell :D Music to my ears haha
Whats Wrong I definitely agree with the MPT tune, they are the best with 3.7s for sure. I was going for the easy bolt ons in this video, but gears would easily be #2 if you want to put in the effort👍🏻
MrBspace I had a full bolt on 3.7 before I traded it in... best performance mods were the tune and gears... I don’t think headers are worth it unless they’re long tubes... I had shorties too
1. Tune 2 . Ported Intakes 3. Headers and Midpipe 4. Gears 5. Suspension & chassis ( LCA's , UCA, Shocks, panhard, antiroll bars, k frame, springs etc)
I think he was just going for beginners

@@nguyenanhphuc96 I have the v6 2012 Mayhem pkg with performance upgrades. I love how it drives.
"The first one you should get is the tuner. Now, I haven't gotten mine yet, but I wish I did. I don't know the technicals, but... "
...and I'm done.
Stellicopter I do wish I got the tuner first, and I'm not a processional engine tuner.... soo sounds about right yep
Camden P so do what the majority does....MPT email and datalog
Start from the ground up. 1 New wheels. 2 suspension. 3 Tune. 4 One piece drive shaft. 5 gears. 6 exhaust system.
stock wheels+lowered suspension>New wheels+Stock suspension. get it lowered first
What about a driveshaft that can handle more than 115 mph?
Dude.. Seriously that driveshaft is fucking weak
What happens past 115 im looking to buy the car
@@markclark8444 it's only rated for that speed. If you increase power/ flash it to remove the speed limiter, you'll wanna upgrade it before you get too wild

3.73 gears are better
Dead ass a cammed v6 sounds super unique !
Don't get axle back if you have a 3.7! Save up for a catback setup. Better sound and performance for the 3.7.
Overall I do believe that a cat back is a better option, maybe even welding in the GT diameter exhaust. I just like my Magnaflow axleback because I got it used for a really price.
@@camahavids2008 is that a Magnaflow axleback you have in this video right?
wher did u get the 3.7 cyclone decal on the hood
I started with
1 performance exhaust
2 gt500 front conversion with hoodvent
3 AM wheels the need for speed 19
4 black paint and matte black stripes
5 spoiler and diffuser
6 not done yet but in the future procharger or super

I always did the tune last.

Or don't bang

Thanks man this video help out alot
Did you straight pipe your car bro ?
Nope, all it has is Magnaflow Race Series Axle Backs. Everything else is stock.
How much did that cost you brotha?
Danny D ~$220 shipped off of the Cyclone Mustang Facebook page
Is it super loud on the inside ? I’m thinking of straight piping my car!

2012 V6 manual owner here.
My mods in order
1. 3.73 gear
2.BBK 73mm throttle body + CAI
3.Shorty headers
4. lowering springs
5. Oil catch can
6. CAT/Muffler delete
7. tune
I believe i’m around 350hp with this current setup. Very fun car
Supercharger is bolt on? And How you gonna tell people to buy a tuner if you don’t even know what it does yourself.
Same exhaust I have
Spend the extra money and get a catback, way better sounding and deeper than an axleback setup.
Nive vid brother
Thanks man!!👍🏻
Cat back exhaust is better, domt have to worry about cutting and welding
Thats a good video
Ricers be like huh?
1. Fart Can LED 2. Racing Stripes 3.Bags 4. Big wing and splitters Bro and 5. Halo
Cough cough.... 3.73 gears 👌🏽
Billy McCrary I do agree with you, 3.73 or 4.1 gears are a must for our cars, but I was going for the more easy install bolt on mods for this video. Gears would be next for sure!
Camden P haha ya I just order my 3.73's... I was just playing good video 👍🏽
Billy McCrary That's awesome! Thanks ahaha👍🏻
Honestly first should be a driveshaft. The stock driveshaft can't handle power
Blake Doughty I definitely agree with you, for anyone who spends a lot of time at race speeds or is trying to push a lot of power a driveshaft upgrade is crucial. However, for the average daily driver who wants to do things that will make a huge difference to the way their car looks and feels, they probably won't need a driveshaft.
Let me borrow your ride
Coilovers are not a better ride quality. Especially if your talking about daily driving
ayyyyyy
Thank You Everyone for 420 Views!!! ;)
Camden P Are you from Roswell, Georgia?
Nobody said CAI
Drone for days.... What kind of exhaust do you have so I never buy it!
a supercharger is a bolton mod
i have a serious question. why is it that every car video has the same shitty EDM music at the beginning? why? does nobody who likes cars actually enjoy good music? shit.
Jay Ochs I'd say it's in every car video and vlogs in general just because it's the most abundant non-copyright music available
To me, all the music you hear today sounds like the music they play in stripper clubs.
I started with this order
1.CAI
2.throttle boddy + spacer
3.1 pc driveshafe
4.xpipe
5.shorty headers
6.muffler
7.SCT tuner
8.18 inch glasspacks
thinh tran Ngl I forgot about the one piece drive shaft, that's a great idea if you're racing, whether in US or Mexico😉 With your exhaust setup I bet it sounds awesome!

how the spacer helps ???

#1 Tune......MPT
#2 gears
0:
Whats Wrong I definitely agree with the MPT tune, they are the best with 3.7s for sure. I was going for the easy bolt ons in this video, but gears would easily be #2 if you want to put in the effort👍🏻
#1 BBK shorty Headers
#2 Roush axle back system
#3 91 Performance Mpt tune
That was my order when I had my 2014 V6.
MrBspace I had a full bolt on 3.7 before I traded it in... best performance mods were the tune and gears... I don’t think headers are worth it unless they’re long tubes... I had shorties too
Whats Wrong long tubes does more hp, but the shorty headers were purely to make the roush axle backs sound deeper for me.
