I had a stock 3.7 with chrome rims and it got stolen and set on fire in Sacramento recently. So yes, these are still hot cars. LITERALLY
that's what u get for getting chrome rims son
That's what you get for living in Sacramento
How a mustang get stolen 😂😂
Shit im watching this from sacramento lol
I’m literally from sacramento thinking about buying one of these rn
I know this is a 4 year old video but that exhaust sound pretty damn good. The 3.7s sound sick if you do it right and you did it right.
Hi Matt ... I enjoy watching all of your videos .. I have a 2012 - 3.7 as well and love it .. Keep up the good work 👍
We only know the worth if we know the price of the mods including install
Right when this dude posts a video I’m here like Matt be consistent 🤣😭
Drew Peacock would Enjoy this
I want a modded V6 I really love the insurance
Your Buddy is super chill, and they 3.7’s are sick.
That Blue stang is sweet! Well done! I have a 2013 v-6 blue one too, with just borla cat back exhaust, shift kit and intake
My setup: 2012 v6 Club of America package. Candy Metallic Red.
J&M extreme lower control arms $175
JPC racing adjustable upper control arms $179
Ford racing 3.73 gears $180
Rear end installation and bearing kit $75
Strut tower brace $180
73mm throttle body $400
Aluminum one piece drive shaft $690
Tuner and Airaid air intake $650
Ford performance traction limited slip rear differential w/ carbon plates $269
I’ve done simple and cheap bolt ons and I’m making 320+to the wheels
every time i see a texas plate i get hyped up idk why
The rear end gears are only thing that made a difference
I just got my 3.7 last week it’s an auto but I love it I just installed some pypes bombs love the sound of the 3.7 it’s got more power than my old 2v with bolt on 373 gears . By the way I’m a new subscriber. I have had my fair share of 4.6 and the 5.0 Windsor but I love the 3.7. It’s powerband is good for what I use it for but more mods to come!!! Badass vid love it !! Yes it’s worth it
How are the pype bombs I just got my 3.7 as well and Im looking for something a little louder than stock with a deeper tone but not crazy loud? From the videos Ive seen on pype bombs so far they dont seem crazy loud is that correct?
Do you have an insta ?
Way to show the potential of a NA 3.7 modified over stock. 2 car lengths is huge!!
Keep up the good work on videos
Did you try and brag on a 3.8 Genesis 🤣 Wannabe category
@@PoppaSnipe Just curious is there anything bad about the 3.8 V6 in a Genesis? Haven't heard much tbh
Christian Vasquez nah people like him hate it because they get beat by a Hyundai and think it’s the 90s and hyundai is still crap lmao
PoppaSnipe nah but it’s sad that for the same price you can get this or what i chose and gap them stock and still beat a 3.7 stang that’s tuned lmao, doesn’t matter now because i’m fbo and tuned and i beat the living shit out of 3.7s lmao i run with 5.0s now
I will never be beat by any Hyundai 3.8 Genesis, won’t ever happen in my fbo 3.7 Mustang. I’ve never even been to a drag strip, meet/greet, car show or friendly race on the street where anyone even had enough interest in modding a 3.8 Hyundai Genesis to talk or brag on it. Probably because everyone knows the 2.0T. version of the Genesis was the one to get to mod 🤣
4 years late but. If you love your car enough modifying it always worth it
Another good video Matt, I've owned 2 5.0's but still have more fun in my 3.7🤘
Really? I just got a 3.7 myself. What do u like better about it?
@@tremelthelegacy6715 for me its the handling and acceleration. super fun
Can we get a list of the mods done to this car? I'm looking for good performance mods for my 3.7
The most important bolt-ons are the cold air intake, tuner, and the 3.73 gears.
Venus Dee 😂😂 bro get a Sct tuner device and then 3.73s and a one piece DS boom night and day difference
What year mustang's were you driving bud
@@brianswank5040 I have a 2012.
No the most important bolt on is boost then maybe exhaust. but with all the bolt-ons in the world you probably still won't even get 300 to the wheels boost boost and then boost again. it's not a small block Chevy there's there's no heads there's no cams well I mean they're technically is but all that stuff is such a pain in the ass it's so it's expensive you almost have to pull the engine to do any of that stuff too and it's just so miniscule to the gains that you get from boost and any colder intake is worthless. and I live with a lowered car with my '07 mustang and it was a f****** pain in the ass and I'll tell you what I did all the exterior mods to my '07 It looked badass but I got so much s*** from the cops my 11:00 I left completely stock except I bought some GT wheels and tires used and no one bothered me or looked at me
My 2012 V6 manual with 331 gears is a blast to drive.
I bought my 2016 v6 as a Dailey driver. And I am very happy with the performance. My. 2017 mustang GT is super fun since I installed the super charger.
Honestly if you wanna modd your v6 stang id say no don’t dump a bunch of money in the v6 if your wanted to upgrade later on I have a v6 also and I just did a couple of modds I put after market rims and wheels a wing and then a exhaust system that’s about it don’t feel like doing anything else to it I’d say save money to buy a v8 great video bro
y’all some goons i was cracking up this whole video
Before my 2015 5.0 premium. I had a tuned 2011 3.7 premium. That 2011 was a great car. It was fun, especially when I raced my neighbor's 5.7L Himi Charger RT and won. Plus 32 mpg average on my 42 mile commute to work was awesome when regular gasoline was $3.80 a gallon.
If you have to get a v6 sure modify it! But if you’re able to get the 5.0 there’s no question
14ev0x till your the owner of a 5.0 you’ll know all the problems they have . Sure good engines and can take boost . That’s after you do opg and sprocket the labor for that I just 1k but wait most of them don’t have proper tolerance inside the engine so let’s start scraping the wall of the block that’s when engine tick comes up lol . If I had to the chance to get rid of mine I’ll do it without a hesitation
Smurfeco 2.3 I’m sure the 5.0 does have some problems most cars do! But the 5.0 is obviously the better choice between it and the v6 lol
@@smurfeco2.358 If you need to do OPG while being NA that just means you don't know how to drive and constantly bang the rev limiter. Sounds like you should get rid of it.
14ev0x yeah your right from having to deal with both I’ll take the 5.0 lol
@@smurfeco2.358 Zero problems here from a 14 GT owner. If you consistently redline it in every gear everytime you drive it/ dont maintain it....then its not the engine.
0:00 answers the question
As i seen this video its worth it for sure . When i get a 2011 mustang i wana put 3 73 gears too with a tune airintake throttle body exhaust
They are both slow with the automatic. Would have been cheaper to buy one with performance package from the start with a 6 speed manual.
This is the type of friend that in front of the shorty (you still need my hotspot bro?)
Absolutely worth it... yes
i have a V6, loving it so far. next step for me is upgrading to 20" and lowering it. how many miles on your car?
I just hit 100k
Mario P nice I’ve got mine up to 112k 😂💀
I have 91k.. I needa catch up lmfao
I'm at 40k
I'm 80,000 km. 0 issues. I drive 2 hours a day too, 70 km
@@Harmitch69 same, my commute is a long one
I just bought a 2013 3.7l in Gotta Have it Green. I'm hearing if you remove the speed limiter it's a good idea to get a replacement drive shaft because they can break above 130mph. is that something you've done?
Yes that is true
I have a 2012 3.7 convertible with the MT82 6 speed manual, that exhaust sounds temping ngl
Matt how fast is your 0-60 now you're full bolt on?
Pulling on a stock 3.7 like that, when the stock 3.7 pulls like that on 80% of the daily drivers on the road is being really misunderstood by most people, the stock car is nothing to sleep on the fact it’s that much quicker is even crazier
I love my V6 Beauty! Great video. Thanks, Matt!!!! Texas love, baby! I want to start modifying, but have no idea where to start. I want both looks and speed, but speed is more important to me.
try a gt,its cheaper to go MUCH FASTER
1:22 "lookin like a rental..." Mfk ya took the pony off and put a Ford focus grille on there... 😂😂
I got a qrt chub when your buddy gave your built a rev. Just stubbled upon a 16' 3.7l....doingmy research before i bolt on any mods. By the looks of it, its a go! 💪💪
Love the videos matt. Thanks for the enjoyable content
The only mod you need to do to a 3.7 is boost. Boost first and then other stuff if you feel like you still need other stuff
Really?
@@misstrunchbull3953t's hard to explain without making this comment way too long, but the engine is already so efficient. Any bolt-ons are barely going to get you any horsepower and you're going to have to spend in like two to three grand to do a full bolt on setup when you spend a couple more and you have boost and you go from like 240 horsepower of the wheels to over 400 but that's what happened with me. I made a custom bracket put on a vortec v3 and at 9 psi I was making over 400 horsepower of the wheels. You know they did a lot of upgrades in 2011 and 2010. You know the body is more aerodynamic and the chassis is stiffer. Honestly even when I had my supercharger the brakes never felt like I didn't have enough stopping power. I mean four-wheel disc brakes look at the size of the rotor stalk already. They're plenty big. You got two piston in the front one pissing in the rear. That right there is a lot of stopping power. I've never upgraded my brakes and I've never felt like I've needed to on newer cars. It's actually has a the transmission that can handle more than 300 horsepower, cough, cough, t5 you have a limited slip diff stock this is already getting too long but it's so good stock. I just feel like you're not gaining enough for it to be worth the time and money and usually anything you do to it is going to have a detrimental effect. You lower it and all the sudden it's pain in the ass to drive around and you can't go over some curves because that's what happened in my '07 did all the suspension mods and it was super cool. 5% of the time when I was driving it like a track monster but the other 95% of the time it was a pain in the ass. I hope this makes sense. This is way too long of a comment. I guess I watched this video so long ago. I don't remember exactly what it's about, but I guess if you're saying, is it worth it to mod a V6? If it's not a V8 sure it is especially these ones. They're freaking awesome if that's what you're thinking about.
Those bolt-ons are legit!
Wow it sounds pretty good for a v6, I'd like to see you race a challenger RT. Should be close 🤔
I've already beaten an R/T on the streets, I just need to get it on film now. Might have a charger rt lined up soon.
That G8 Guy if he’s hanging with coyotes , a challenger rt won’t be close , I put 5+ cars on a challenger RT when my 5.0 was stock
@@daebruh2034 hmmm i just saw that video, but theres videos of 370z pulling. But he also did beat that s550 5.0 and he's running 14s 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@ThatG8Guy running 14s @ 4000ft elevation , which translates to about a 12.9 to 13.1 at sea level. I haven't raced a 370z since I ported my intakes and updated my tune with bad shift points

LET'S GO BRANDON!🎉🎉🎉
for everyone asking what his exhaust set up is.. he has videos y’all. check the channel
Brandon gatta go with those performance pack s550 rims.
Those fellas hella heavy tho
“We are gonna go to Mexico “ goes to global reach.... close enough 😂
How much Horsepowers with the Pitufo color 🤣🤣🤣
How do you change the gear ratios? Also how do you know which gear ratios you have?
Thanks for remembering to point out the gear swap.
Forsure thought it was going to be close with that wing 😂😂😂
Matt...lets see your ride now bro
I have a 2014 v6 as well. Stock. Skipping the upgrades and going to a 2019 gt
MILLENIALL INVESTOR smart idea 💡
MILLENIALL INVESTOR procharged the v6
I got a 2019 Mustang GT performance pack, my girl has a V6 14 with mods and it’s nothing compared. Invest in the coyote.
How is your fitment so nice? I have the same wheels and springs on a 285 tire but I feel like even with a 305 it wouldn't be that flush. Are you running spacers?
What spoiler is on the blue one? Looks awesome.
I have a 2014 v6 and I’m just doing like little exterior mods to it nothing else I want a GT but imagine a 19 year old with a gt? God just thinking about the payments hurt me
In my opinion regardless of performance any car is worth modifying if its something you truly enjoy, i have a v6 aswell and i know it will never be competitive with a gt/gt500 but im still going to personalize it, make it look cool, and just overall make it mine because i love the car and regardless if theres faster options id rather keep the v6 and make it something special
🙌🏽🙌🏽👊🏽 Good stuff Matt!
Makes a big difference
Wtf that blue Stang exhaust sounds pretty similar to the v8
I was thinking of getting a 2012 3.7 v6 as my first (sport car). Was gonna go look at it this weekend. It’s got all the maintenance paperwork, been babied, 80k miles for 8grand. But after I posted on a car group on FB I got made fun of, really hurt my feelings and now I don’t even think I’ll buy it.. just stick with my 14 Hyundai I guess :(
Two people have made fun of my 3.7. one of them only ever owned a stock Miata. The other one has never had a car with over 350HP so he really has no room to make fun either. Just get what you want man.
Fuck those guys they probably don't even own cars, I drive a 2012 V6 NA Mustang heavily modded as my daily and I love it and I dont loose to Hyundais. If you want it buy it, fuck what anyone else said
If you want to buy a good V6 car get a g37 smoked alot of this v6 Mustang and some 5.0
Mustangs are polarizing. You hate em or love em. Not a lot of in between. Drive whatever you like and you can't go wrong 🤙
why tail lights looks on one car darker and other one more reddish?
Normally I laugh at v6s but damn dude your car is clean as fuck! Nice job
Alr ik this vids like 5 years old but do you remember what exhaust you had on the modded v6?
Hey Matt, so what’s your next step? Procharger? Or get a GT? S550s? Or Shelby? C8? lol
i love to see matt setup a procharger in there
Procharge it.
First mod I did was the roush axlebacks. Besides the loovers ofc
Put 3.73s in the other car then race again
The 2.73 is such a disadvantage unless he was running a manual and reved it out higher. Both are running autos 🤢

NICE JOB GUYS... Thank you for the comparison. Im about to buy a 2014 Mustang and wanted to know if it should bother to Mod it. I got both answers. I dont need it but I want it... :P
Awesome!! 3.7 vids! Your blue one sounds amazing. 👍👍😎
Name of the video: “Is It Worth Modifying a v6 Mustang?”
No one:
Absolutely no one: Already started modifying their V6 Mustang🤦🏻♂️
I got a 2016 V6 Manual. So far put a Roush C/A intake and wider Throttlebody (73mm?)
Next, I want to install new Headers and exhaust system.
and of course Decal stripes...lol
Thank you!
Both great looking cars
your v6 is cool. i love mine also
Good video. Both cars Great!
Love all the mods on V6, how did u get hood scoops on?
Hi, I own a 2014 v6 mustang, what do you recommend modifying? I do have headers, intake, exhaust, 4.1 gear ratio but still feels weak
A tune?
Not thAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. It be different if he left him like he was standing still. But that was some slow passes. Yeah a little faster, but not by much.
The Silver one is a great car.
I like the stock wheels
Notification squad 🙌🏻
My dawg 🙌🏼
Better change oil more frequently. Maybe go with 5w30. More rpm all the time. With 3.73 rear axle.
Is your car pretty easy to upgrade and modify?
have a 2014 with a pro charger. axle back pypes. and love it
Love your videos...I have one the exact same color as yours and I love it especially the color it’s not bone stock but my goal is to mod it out what’s the first mod I should do?
373 gears is probably the best thing but a tuner is quicker and easier to do first
whats ur exhaust setup?
This was a great video
The 3.7 is on the same tables as the coyote. 7lbs of boost and youre in 500 whp area.... Yeah the 3.7 is very worth it
Uh no 7psi isnt 500whp. I know a dude running 10psi on e85 and he's at 400. The stock 3.7 is lucky to pulled 255 @ the wheels with the drivetrain loss and somehow you expect 500 with 7psi? The only way a person would get 500 with that motor would be with bigger valves and porting the head to increase flowrate. All in all if you can afford the headwork you could afford a bigger turbo
My blot on 3.7 is 296 at the rear wheel. Pump gas 93 octane and a pro charger you can hit 405 to 415 to rear wheels. Turbo set up you can hit over 600hp to the rear wheels. It's all over you tube
Can you send me the exhaust link that you have put in your car
The stock mustang looks way cleaner
How is the MPG on the blue car ? If it is almost like a v8 then just won’t worth it to modify because if it’s like a v8 better go for the GT , you can modify the v6 specifically the body and it’s going to be really good but if you want to modify the engine of course it’s going to be little faster but even with that never is going to be better than a v8
Nobody ever said it was meant to be better than the v8, its a budget vehicle for sure. As far as mpg now that the blue car is procharged I can't say its great. But I still have not dropped as much money into it as I would if it were a v8. Parts alone cost more for the v8 let alone insurance.
Where’s that wicker bill from
It would be nice to see what's under the hood
What kind of exhaust do you have I’m looking for a good sound to put into my v6
So as you can see, this kid says as you can see about 17 times every hour
Nice runs
Where you get that rear trunk emblem for it at?!
Awesome vid! Hope you have the driveshaft bolt on lol I chicken out at about 115 ...
you’re missing 2 cylinders 😔
C'mon Dora lets go find them 😞
It's not just a dumb comment but you plagiarized from so many other dumbasses.
aeros swear I hate seeing this comment on v6 channels
Heres my take, I had a V6 car. It was great until I experienced better. Once youve had better the V6 will become a thing in the past real quick. I wanted to modify my 3.8 Camaro until I drove a C4 ZR1. I figured why spend all that money making my V6 fast when I can have a far better car for the same money? but its all about what you want.
That's why I avoided trying out the GT, addictive. But V6 is still not that bad, I got a much better discount, cheaper insurance, and good MPG.
@@johnmcmullen456 my brother has an 11 GT 5.0 He just took a 1400 mile trip from GA to MO and back. He said he averaged 23 mpg. Not as advertised (26) but for a 10+ year v8 car I'd say that's pretty efficient lol.
@@timmzzzz88 Modern engine management and overdrive transmissions have done wonders for MPG, especially considering the 400+ horsepower of today's V8s. My brother's 2021 F150 4wd 5.0 is getting 24 mpg on freeway trips, beating his old Ranger's 4.0 V6.
What year is the car?? I'm looking at some mustang and these ones are NICEEEE
If u have a v6. Like me. Just use it as a day driver. Save for a year or two. Then trade the v6 in and buy a V8 if u want performance. Best option. Then u can really have some fun. If u mod a v6 it gets to be the price of a gt without the power. Not worth in my opinion
