The people who say “why didn’t you just get a v8” are the same people who don’t even own a car and have no clue how to spend their money.

I was timid about tinting mine but I finally caved yesterday and got 15% all the way around it’s so awesome.

Any intake mod needs an exhaust mod to get the most from it. Tunes help a lot too.

Great post! love watching your videos...and your car is my favorite 3.7 s550 on youtube. Keep up the great work.

Nice job 👍, got right to the point with out talking about your life, girlfriend, and everything else besides your car. Very helpful!!!

I regret going with 20% tint on my mustang. Having to drive an hour from Charlotte to get it passed for inspection is a PITA. I dont regret my Roush CAI for my V6 either, it doesnt add power. But dam it sounds good.

Nice job man. I just bought a '11 V6 premium for a great price cash and gonna do mods to it. Nothing crazy.

Love how clean your Engine bay looks. Well looked after car.

Thanks QD. Quite informative and your car looks great! Mine's silver but I love that blue...

I put the Rousch CAI on a 2014 V6. It sounds great! I don’t really feel a hp difference but i’d do it again for the sound. Next is aluminum driveshaft, axleback and torque converter and a Dyno tune.

That K&N drop-in air filter improved my mpg from 22mpg to 26! Also cleaned out the Mass Air Flow sensor and throttle body. Runs soooooo much smoother now. 2012 v6 Mustang ~71,000 miles

Hey all. My 2016 3.7 V6 is fun. I have the same CAI, with the BBK Shorty Headers, BBK 73mm throttle body, Magniflow 109099 full length cat back system. For tuner I have unlimited tunes from place out of Florida. I've gutted it ànd added sound deadner because the exhaust drones at 60~70 mph. The TB killed the MPG from 32 to 28ish. I've also added full length Steeda chassis jacking rails, Lower K Brace for the rear end. Ford performance Upper n Lower Front K braces. Done it all myself. Honestly it's fun but hasn't been worth the money... The 6 speed manual is great and after 35k miles I'm still enjoying it.

Nice vid mate ! Honest and to the point ! 👍👍

Great video man, give me good insight.

To add to what he said, you kinda have to be prepared to pay to bore the intake opening and get a bigger throttle body to get anything out of a cold air intake other than just sound. If you get more air out of a cai, but not a bigger opening for the engine to draw in air, it won’t make a difference, performance wise. Still sounds better.

oh boy cant wait to watch this

Good information Thanks

My experience with the s550 3.7 is the MPT has been great . Some are disappointed where they will not update for minor mods but Ford went with a speed density arrangement so for exhaust and intake changes , unlike a mass air flow design adjusting the tune is not necessary. The ECU will see the change. I highly suggest changing the rear gearing to 3:55 in lieu shortys or an intake if on a budget. Between the changing the rear gearing and a MPT tune your getting the 99% out of a NA 3.7 with 1% for a good cat back.

Great job on another note 📝 I hope 🤞🏼 you trying to get sponsors thru the auto parts look into that keep pushin

Interesting man. Not many people talk about their v6. I got my 2015 v6 with 35,000 mile for 12000!! 1yr and half ago. Haven't regretted it since. Decent mpg and power for a daily. I bought it modified a bit. Previous owner had it tuned and added a different exhaust. He reverted it back to stock tune. Sounds really nice. It growls when it's reved to around 3500rpm and nice and quite under. He added a nice carbon fiber spoiler and some cool dual racelines. Not a big fan of them however. I haven't really modified it myself, but I have done research on what to do to it. I really want to had leather seating and maybe an after market navigation. It's that it is something that is not necessary and I could probably do something more productive with it. I'd say about 1,000 for both. I am thinking about adding struts to the hood, nice and cheap. Lol. I got California legal tint, but I live in AZ and I can legally tint them darker. I probably will, but I did make frequent trips to San diego, I am a little concerned. But it's understandable for someone from Az to have them tinted if I get stoped. Is tuning it worth it? Cold air intake? I use cheap 86 fuel, go to work, have fun sometimes.

I got 5% and it's still not dark enough

I like your car, I have a 2011 v6 Premium convertible. 3 mods I recommend for you are 1) hood strut kit $80 2) strut tower brace $200 3) light tint smoked kit $83. All from AM. I have all 3 and installation was fairly easy.

Love the color!

A cold air intake would only provide a decent amount of addition power if you supplement it with an *electronic tuner*, to make the car's ECU respond properly to it. Otherwise, like you said, it'll be minimal gains. And even if you do get the CAI and the tuner, you're paying at least a $1000USD for about 15hp. That doesn't seem too worth it.

Unless you like the sound and/or look the following mods are a waste: Cold Air Intake Throttle body spacer Throttle body Shorty headers High flow cats If you're on a limited budget, I would suggest the following: Tune K&N drop in filter Gears Tires Long tube headers if you don't live in California or a jurisdiction that has adopted their standard

ROI with throttle bodies isn't that great. I think you were spot on with the air intake tube with stock air box and drop in (that seems to be a pretty common consensus, even among V8 and Ecoboost owners too). Really your same idea about the throttle body just gets shoved further down the road. Sure bigger throttle body might get more air in, but it's limited by the intake manifold behind it. It's not like the hole behind the throttle body gets bigger to match it. So for the $400 on the throttle body, it's not a lot of hp per dollar. Love the video though, I can tell you put a lot of time thinking about it before filming. Appreciate you putting it together.

The thing with a cold air intake is by itself it won't do much. However if you plan on adding more mods and tunes the intake of more and cooler air is going to be a necessity.

Nice car and great video.

I went 5% ceramic tint windshield included and I see perfectly fine. Ceramic tint has more visibility from the inside then from the outside

I recently Started looking a V6 mustang for a daily driver. I had my issues cause prices of gas in my country are insane, but definitely I'm getting this car, cause the Ecoboost is not an option for me. In Dominican Republic which is where I live, there is a lot of city driving. Which mods you think can improve MPGs without killing power?

Nice car! Thanks for the tips.

You essentially have the same setup as me! I have a 13' V6

Good video !! 👌🏻👌🏻Tks for sharing; where in NC are You at? I have a 2012 V6 Auto, not planning on doing any engine mods at all, maybe some cosmetic ones like logos and stripes, other than that “I believe that keeping it stock” will be my way, I want to leave that car to my son and grandson 😂😂😂.. anyhow I enjoyed your comments and the video. Just subscribed. God bless! 🙏🏻👌🏻🙏🏻

I happen to like the sound of those v6 engines. Also I think your car is sweet!

Nice video. How much more sound do you get and how much more power out of the shorty headers

Though I was told from jump that a CAI will not make much of a difference, it looks cool and sounds great and minor gains is still a gain when you are not looking to boost your car. All the little gains add up.

i believe CAI mods are generally worth it. now, if you buy the tuner that sometimes comes with it in AM, that will make it even more worth in in my opinion.

For the most part I think people get cold air intakes for the sound and not just the performance of it. I know the air raids CAI don't put out a lot decibels when you step into it .But the one's like Roush and K&N do. Also if you do a Tune to your car it will benefit from a CAI over stock.

What measurements did you use for placement of the badges? I ordered some for my 2015 v6

Can you please keep the updates and new performance upgrade coming keep the 3.7 cyclone community going. This platform should be updated because we all know the 4.6 and 5.0 Windsor was phased out. But , the V6 has potential, as well as the 8.8 and LSD live rear axle end so it’s a true mustang.

Just bought a 4.0 v6 2008 with lowered suspension loudmouth exhaust throttle body kit and a cold air intake. Going for long tube headers and an X pipe cat deletes she's gonna sound good for a v6.

Thanks for this inputs video, just have a question is there a way of having the 3.7 emblem to stick on the side fender? Thank you

Insurance and fuel costs add up fast. I have an 11, 3.7 With MT82 and see no reason to trade it off.

15 or 35 in the front and 5% in the back best combo if you ask me

Your car beautiful. She looks almost identical to mine. Mine has white stripes and a bigger spoiler.

Pedal commander overrides the factory throttle response no horsepower gain but Quicker of the line and axle back exhaust and oil catch can👍

Can you send the link to the speed daddy headers? Can’t find them

Any idea how much insurance would be for a 17 year old for a 2012 v6 ? Some lmk it’d be appreciated

I have a 3.7 I bought mines, with a cai and BBK throttle body.

5% all the way baby!!

The only way you'll know if it makes more HP is with a before and after dyno session.

I like cold air intake for the sucking sound it makes

The stock air box is the same snorkel design as the aftermarket. That’s why the grill has several holes on that side for air intake. If anything the OEM filters are garbage and a better filter would be best. Throttle body needs paired with ported intake manifold if you want either to work...high rpm 7500

HEY BRO ITS ALL ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU LIKE ,NEVER EVER THINK OR LET ANOTHER MAN THINK HIS CHOICE ,OR THOUGHT IS BETTER, YOUR V6 IS HELLA STYLIN I GOT A V6 AND I LOVE IT TO DEATH ITS A CHOICE PLUS IM OLDER NOW THE V8,GT DUDES THINK ARE IMAGE DRIVEN CUZ IT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD I MADE MY STANG TO CRUISE ,LOW AND STLYIN , IT BOILS DOWN TO WHAT I LIKE AND MAKES ME HAPPY ,LIKE ITS MY CHOICE .SO LOVE WHAT U LIKE . ALWAYS.PEACE

You didn’t mention your spacer. Is it noticeable at all?

I had gts before, they are only 1 step ahead of the v8. if you mod right you will shame the v8s like I did with my 2005 s197. its a bit more money to dump in but in the long run you save with insurance, gas and other things. the v8s I had only cost me a ton of money and troubles in the long run. but nice video man.

Great video... I'm looking for a triple black v6 convertible looking to do some mild mods

Does tuning help in deeper sound for V6?

I was thinking about taking that motor and place it in my new edge v6

Take my warning, don’t go to a regular tuning shop for these cars. They are really hard to tune with out causing problems with cam timing etc

Also remember that v6 is 100lbs lighter than the 5.0. The Roush CAI sounds fantastic. IDCare if it doesn’t add any HP the MPT will do that.

there is pro dyno in NC if your ever looking for a dyno shop

Man I bought a convertible mustang when I was 16...in 17 now and I was gonna work on the convertible mustang but now I wanna get a 2013 v8 mustang

I have 5 percent tint all around except the windshield and you could still see out ok

Cold air intakes are nice because the sound

The 73mm throttle body does help with throttle response. I have it with the Airraid cold air intake on my 2012 with 331 gears. Also any thing darker than 25 percent is getting hard to see at night. I have 25 percent and that is plenty dark. I had 35 on an old 2005 Focus I had and it looked good and help when running the AC. I have the mat black 3.7 badges and love them. Have you thought about getting the brake caliper covers. They would look awesome on your Mustang.

What’s the average price on one.?

Had an airaid. Not worth it, glad I saved my stock air box.

not bad man

So the gauge function in the center display shows inlet temperature. Did the CAI show lower than stock inlet temps after the installation ?

30% is so weak i have 15% on mine looks like 5% and i can see plus you can roll your windows down if you need to park etc everyone gets illegal tint i live in cali and if you get pulled over they just tell you change it lol

I don’t understand aftermarket cold air intakes as these cars already have cold air intakes. Look at where the air box is located. It pulls cold air already.

American muscle told me the same thing when I got my shorty headers. But since I'm hollowing out my cats they said I need a new one

It would be interesting to know mileage of your mustang and how reliable it have been all these years?

I try to talk everyone I know out of the 5% tint, especially if you drive at night....Unless you want to be rolling your window down every time you turn into somewhere so you can see.

I have a 2003 v6 mustang an I wanna mod it so bad but ion know what to do it

Dead on. Im glad you didnt just get a intake and brag but you went the whole way with even a tune to match. How much more HP are you getting. I have a 2014 3.7 and looking to do the same.

V6 is my favorite mustang , I have a 2017 convertible and it’s great on power and gas

No rear gear swap?

This guy is basically me 😂

Hi guys just bought a 2017 V6 tell me what exhaust would be better to make it sound more like V8

If u are not racing u dont need a v8 the only difference in the wole care looks and performance between a v6 and v8 is about 100hp which can be made up by a few performance upgrades without spending extra per month on insurance from having a v8 and extra when u buy the car istelf

i have speed daddy and they are 1 year on.. going strong

Your car came stock with cold air intake. When you take the factory airbox out look at where the snorkel goes, it breathes straight through the grill next to the driver side headlight.That’s cold air. Put it on a dyno before and after and there will be zero detectable difference. It probably breathes a little easier but when you increase the intake area you decrease the air speed and you lose low end torque. That’s what happens when you use a bigger throttle body as well, you’ll get a little more horsepower way up in the RPM range but you will lose low end torque because you’ve slowed down the airflow. That’s noticeable under your foot in every day driving conditions with this car. Low end torque is way more desirable than a little bit of a 10th of a second at the dragstrip. I have a BBK throttle body for sale if anyone wants it. :-)

I love my 2014 V6

Im In NC as well

MPT is focusing on the Ecoboost platform. Not sure who I can go to for reliable 3.7 tuning these days

How do you like the springs on your car? I have a 2016 3.7 and I'm thinking about putting new springs on it.

I had a Ecoboost mustang Before I got my 5.O ITS A WASTE OF MONEY TO GET ANYTHING UNDER A 5.0 MUSTANG.. WHAT'S THE POINT.

Im in NC aswell down in the sticks , a town called deep run hmu when u want to cruise id be down i have a 2006 v6 no muffler down piped half way. with bama tune

Bro! What part of nc are you in?

Kewel.I was not going to do those things anyway to my 3.7 Mustang.

the v6 makes as much horse power as a 3 valve after you mod it i have a very nice 2016 3.7 and am putting down 350 hp to the wheels.

Cold air intakes are kinda bs. The principle makes sense but seeing how the air around the rod is hotter than a few feet up. Its kinda pointless

For all those with the V6s, how's the reliability for these? I come from a Chevy family and all I heard growing up was that Ford was shit since I was a kid. To be completely honest, I've had way more issues with all the Chevys I've had than other brand. I'm driving a Challenger now and I haven't had any issues but I'd like something a little different. I recently found a 2017 Mustang v6 and I'm going to take a look at it later for around 18k. Anything I should look out for?

v6s💪🏾
