How to make my 2004 Ford Mustang V6 3.8 liter loud and mean sounding?

I don't really know anything about cars, I just want to have the signature Mustang sound. I have around $100 to spend, I don't want it to sound too loud but still loud. Where can I buy it and where can I go to have it installed? Dumb it down a little bit because I don't really know anything about this stuff haha.

Sorry but there's much you can do to make the 3.8L sound like anything more than a louder 3.8L. And it's not going to be mean by anyone's standards

I have a 2002 cobra n I put new exhaust pipes(aftermarket) and they are really laud (in a good way)you can try that, it will give it a more aggressive look.

Remove the muffler.

You're not going to get the signature V8 sound out of the 3.8L not matter what you do. Also $100 is not enough money for a decent muffler and the install. I wouldn't bother with it, but if you feel you must have a louder exhaust, I'd go with something mild that doesn't accentuate the 3.8L's rather agricultural engine note, like Flowmaster deltaflow 50 or something from dynomax

I have the premium 2003 mustang and the exhaust is loud probably because mine is manual. My friend wanted a better sound and bought a flow master 40 exhaust from Walmart and installed it into his v6 and it sounds nice! Only 80$ part very cheap

You can't fake a v8

Cat-back exhausts work pretty good.
