The 2006 Mustang differed little from the 2005 model year. The GT kept its revised 4.6L SOHC V8 with 300 horsepower and 320ft/lbs of torque. The base model came standard with a 4.0L Cologne V6 with 210 horsepower and 240ft/lbs of torque. 2006 was the first year for the optional Ford Pony Package that added grille-mounted fog lamps, 17'' wheels, a spoiler and extra exterior decals and striping. A few new color and audio options were added for both trim levels, but kept the S197 body style with its retro-futuristic design philosophy that was inspired by first generation Mustangs. The best power output and exterior design that the Mustang has had in years caused an explosion of performance and exterior parts to flood the aftermarket. Stage 3 Motorsports carries over a thousand parts, specifically designed to get the most out of the 2006 S197s.

Impressive performance gains for both the V6 and V8 can be found with the addition of only a few bolt-on accessories. Anyone new to aftermarket performance enhancements, or those with bone stock Mustangs, should start out with one of Stage 3's many cold air intakes. Cold air intakes (CAI) give the engine up to an extra 10 horsepower through the use of performance air filters, insulated inlet tubing and specialized heat shields that work together to provide large amounts of cool charge air directly to the engine. Some CAI systems require custom engine tuning in order to prevent engine damage and to produce even more horsepower and torque. We recommend using Stage 3's own custom tuning that qualifies you for our Loyalty Tunes program where you can receive free tunes for life on selected products purchased from Stage 3 Motorsports. New throttle bodies for both the GT and V6 can generate another 10 horsepower by using larger, more efficient valves that allow better airflow into the intake manifold. The 4.6L V8s of the GTs can get back another 10 or so horsepower with a set of underdrive pulleys. Underdrive pulleys are smaller, lighter replacements for the cast iron pulleys on the belt-driven accessories and reduce drag on the belt which lets the engine produce more power at the flywheel.

The exhaust systems of the S197s have a modular design that extremely easy to customize. Both the exhaust note and overall horsepower can be significantly upgraded with a few aftermarket parts. Huge sound improvements can easily be bolted on with an axle-back system for both GTs and V6s. Most axle-back kits include new mufflers or muffler deletes with large, stylized tips. Most axle-backs can be installed in under an hour as direct replacements for the stock mufflers and tips. Axle-backs don't offer much extra horsepower, but GT owners can get huge power gains with an aftermarket Mustang mid-pipe. Most mid-pipes either have an ''x'' or ''h'' configuration with either high-flow catalytic converters or complete catalyst deletes integrated into their designs. Depending on their individual specifications, performance mid-pipes can boost total output by 10 to 20 horsepower. The stock exhaust manifold is also extremely inefficient and causes loads of back pressure, but can be replaced with a set of headers to round out the S197's exhaust system. Headers can come in a short tube ''shorty'' configuration that feature tubing that directly replaces the exhaust manifold and hooks into the stock mid-pipe, or as full-length long tube headers that stretch from the engine's exhaust ports to underneath the Mustang where they mate with a short mid-pipe from the same brand. Stage 3 has a variety of header and mid-pipe combination kits that make the process more simple while providing gains of up to 30 horsepower. Some headers and mid-pipes may not meet emissions requirements in your area. Check your local emissions guidelines before ordering.

Giving the extremely powerful Ford Mustang even more horses and torque requires a suspension package that can handle the extreme forces of performance driving. Stage 3 Motorsports' best bang for your buck when it comes to handling is a set of lowering springs Despite having slightly different designs, lowering springs function by using giving the Mustang a lower center of gravity use a progressive spring rate to reduce body roll and lateral instability. We sell a variety of complete brake kits here at Stage 3 from racing brands like Wilwood, ROUSH and Baer that put their names to the test on high performance track cars. Most of our brake kits come with massive calipers, improved rotors and uprated brake lines all purpose-built for the fastest applications possible. Better traction is a practical necessity with horsepower enhancements, and the Nitto NT555 is the perfect solution. The NT555 ultra-high performance summer tire is our preferred tire and uses a complex tread pattern and internal design that offers an excellent balance of handling and traction for the track without creating tons of noise, vibration and harshness for daily drivers.

The S197 is the most stylish piece of hardware to come out of Ford's factory in a long time, and the aftermarket responded with a whole host of exterior body pieces and kits that make the 2006 Mustang look even better. The most cost-effective body pieces for the S197 are quarter window louvers or side window scoops from DG Custom Auto give your Mustang an aggressive or old-school look and are pre-painted to match your car's paint. Stage 3's most popular aftermarket body piece is the ROUSH Complete front fascia. This official ROUSH Aero-body product has an aggressive lower grille design with additional side scoops and fog lights that give the entire front chassis a mean, aggressive look. For an even more original look, combining one of our many full body kits with our inventory of over 60 different wheels will give you endless choices of styling and exterior theme.

The best way for a 2006 Mustang to get a massive increase in both horsepower and torque in one fell swoop is a ROUSH Supercharger system. ROUSH offers two different supercharger systems for 2006 Mustangs. The M90 ROUSHcharger is the smaller and cheaper option of the two, and has the ability to push the 4.6L V8 of the GT up to 435 horsepower with 400ft/lbs of torque. The M90 is an excellent system for the daily driver who wants more power or for autocross and other light-duty track applications. Pushing the Mustang's V8 to its absolute limit requires the ROUSH R2300 Single-Belt Phase 2 supercharger. The R2300 has the ability to push the GT up to 550 horsepower with 500ft/lbs of torque without any other modifications. ROUSH's R2300's can handle up to 650 horsepower and is meant for road racing, drag racing and other extreme driving. Getting to the 650 mark will require you to invest in a new short block and uprated engine internals that can handle that much power.
