2004 V6 3.9L Mustang new exhaust question
 
Does anyone agree that this is a good price to performance ratio for the exhaust system? >> http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...0%5E1%5E359.99 Thanks for the help!

mustangV6_04 12-11-2008 02:52 PM

utter waste...its not a true dual so its pointless. Get a new mid pipe, h pipe or x pipe whichever you perfer and buy a dual exhaust. A lot better flow and better sound but it will never sound like a v8

your not going to get any power at all from a cat back, its just for sound and pypes sounds like shit.

mustangV6_04 12-11-2008 05:43 PM

no need for the double post but no its not at all. Get a new mid pipe and go true dual exhaust going dual from a y pipe is pointless minus the look of duals without the performance. Look here they have some good advice in the sticky https://mustangboards.com/v6-tech-fo...es-setups.html

mustangV6_04 12-11-2008 06:40 PM

think you made enough posts of the same thing

JDank 12-11-2008 10:57 PM

All the reviews said it made it sound better than stock and that it added some HP. Also I'm teaming it with a new CAI. I'm just not sure I want to spend an extra $150 to make it a true dual exhaust. Would it be worth it? and yes, I did make an extra thread about this same thing by accident.

Stephen4036 12-11-2008 11:07 PM

dont buy a CAI, remove silencer and get KN Cone Filter.. same thing as a CAI, exhaust for a v6... i dunno, duals wont give you much more hp.. ide just go for the sound

JDank 12-11-2008 11:10 PM

would this be a better pick for an exhaust system then? and would this be much more difficult to install on my car? >>> http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...n-9604-v6.html.

JDank 12-11-2008 11:14 PM

Well I already bough the new CAI, but it was only $70 and all the reviews for it were good. This is the other exhaust I would consider buying >>> http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...n-9604-v6.html.

mustangV6_04 12-12-2008 05:42 AM

thats a lot better much mor flow but idk about pypes i heard they weren't the greatest sounding just go on you tube and start searching different exhausts untill you find one you like

spike_africa 12-12-2008 07:04 AM

Its a better setup that will make more power, but I am not a fan of X-pipes and on the V6 an X-pipe really makes no sense. I do not understand why they make kits with X-pipes for the v6 motor. I also don't get why AM.com sells almost no H-pipes anymore, that's weak.

spike_africa 12-12-2008 07:19 AM

You do not need 3 threads on the same subject. I have merged this thread with the other 2 you have made.

that dual exhaust is way better than wat you wanted to go first with and you will see a slight difference with those two mods... and you stang will sound much better

JDank 12-13-2008 02:08 AM

I've come to the conclusion that I would rather do true duals, and I've come up with these duals >> Pypes 409 Stainless Steel Violator Catback with Polished 304 Tips (98-04 GT/Mach 1) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!, but I don't know how or what H-pipe I can get to make these work. Is there anyway this mid pipe would work with my V6? >> Pypes 409 Stainless Steel Off-Road Shorty H-pipe (96-04 GT) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! or would I have to go with the adapter kit >> V6 Dual Exhaust adapter kit at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Would using the adpter kit and those duals be any better than this? >> http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-...t-9604-v6.html. Thanks for the help!

mustangV6_04 12-13-2008 05:22 AM

Don't use the adapter it leaks like a mother if you dont get it welded correctley just get a mac h-pipe and flowmasters or mac exhause and call it a day.

sand1303 12-13-2008 03:15 PM

he likes them pypes even though people keep telling him they sound like shit. i would spend the extra hundred on the h-pipe adapter, weld it on and get one of these

Mac Y pipe dual exit exhaust. i had one on my 98 V6, and it sounded pretty good.

ok, I give up on Pypes then! lol, besides this system you showed me is cheaper. So I have decided to go with the H-pipe adapter kit and this catback >> http://www.ninosport.com/MAC-Cat-Bac...=2&category=99. It's basically the same catback you showed me except the V6 version. =D. Thanks for the help, you all really helped a lot in my decision, and I pretty learned everything I know about exhaust in the past two week of learning from you guys on here. sooooo, THANKS!

spike_africa 12-14-2008 08:28 AM

If you like the sound of the pypes setup do it. It's your car and you are the one who has to listen to it not them.

sand1303 12-14-2008 04:53 PM

Yea that one will work after u install the dual adapter keep in mind though as ur looking around though that with the dual adapter installed ur not limited to a cat bAck designed for a 6 cyl u can also use a gt catback. Don't know if it will be better but just so u know. And yes if u want pypes get them if u have heard them with ur own ears and liked it.
