I have a stock mustang 2006 GT what can I do with the sound?

If your looking for power and sound I would go with MAC longtubes, a prochamber, and a MAC axleback.
They sound SWEEEEEEt
If you just want to beef up the sound a bit and you don't care about the power gains as much just a MAC axleback will do the trick IMO.
I would search Youtube for different sounding exhausts and get whatever you like best but I personally like the MAC.

1st order of Biz is to get axle back exhuast (mufflers), i love the classic throaty Flowmaster sound but theres a ton of options, try going to youtube and listening to the many exhuast combonations.
If you want to free up restriction you can get a mid pipe with high flow cats, i have the Magnaflow catted X pipe, it will get much louder but you should still be able to pass emissions. YOu can also get an Off Road mid pipe, they have NO CATS and it will get VERY loud and smell funny but free up the most flow and produce more power. Off road midpipe will NOT pass inspection, hence the Off-Road name.
If you want max power long tube header are the way to go, they can get expensive and installation is 6 - 8 hours of labor!, with Longtubes you need a matching mid pipe so you will NOT be able to reuse your stock or aftermarket midpipe thats designed to work with stock exhuast manifolds or shortie headers. Not all longtube set ups will pass emissions, so you will have to do a lil research.
This is the fun part, enjoy your quest for YOUR sound.

At this point what's killing your sound is the big fat stinkin stock mufflers, those gotta go for sure.
For the midipipe I recommand an O/R H pipe or prochamber for 2005+ GT
as far as the catback, you definitly need to look on youtube to see what you like, sound is an important factor when it comes to our cars it's really important that you love the sound of your car

What's your budget and goal? Just better sound? Axle or cat backs will do the job nicely, there's lots of options. As Rami suggested above, look for Mustang exhaust clips on youtube, you can probably find something for any manufacturer out there. That will give you a good idea of how the different exhausts sound.
MAC FTW
