V6 exhaust choices and setups - Page 4

Brodom · 06-22-2007, 04:26 PM

So I just want to check before I spend a bunch of money on stuff and not make the wrong decision.
What I would like to do is get and H-pipe becuase apparently its a deeper sound and more torque down low. That leads to a GT catback and then I want to put on Flowmaster 40 series. Is there anything wrong with this set up or should I be ok?

Cheddarbob · 06-23-2007, 11:00 AM

Cats or no cats?

Brodom · 06-24-2007, 12:17 PM

Well, as far as I know I can install them so why not stick them in?

Cheddarbob · 06-24-2007, 02:58 PM

you should be fine. send a link of exactly what your buying

Brodom · 06-24-2007, 03:18 PM

Mustang V6 Dual Exhaust Adapter Kit (99-04 V6)

Magnaflow Catback

40 Series Delta Flow 2.25" O/O

I'm pretty sure i maybe able to find the catback for cheaper but I'll have to shop around more

Cheddarbob · 06-24-2007, 10:01 PM

ok you have a problem there. you cant have both 2 and 3
just one of them. American Muscle doesnt sell flowmaster so if you want flowmaster you have to get it from another site. do you want true daul or just the look?

Brodom · 06-25-2007, 09:45 AM

I want true dual and I think im going to go with
1999 - 2004 Ford Mustang GT/ MACH1/Bullitt from flowmaster along with the adaptor kit from above.($100 cheaper) I dont think there would be a problem trying to fit this correct me if im wrong.

Cheddarbob · 06-25-2007, 10:15 AM

thats better that will fit. But really i wish someone else would come in here in tell me if im wrong. B/c I dont really know if you need the adaptor kit but it will work you just might not need it. but the system will work

spike_africa · 06-25-2007, 11:08 AM

Yes with the v6 dual exhaust adaptor you can run any GT catback so that will work.

Brodom · 06-25-2007, 01:18 PM

Great! Thanks for the help Cheddar and Spike.

HerPony has a custom 2.25 in True Dual catback with Flowmaster 40's.

In Southern California it cost 600 out the door. It has a nice sound and compliments the CAI and 25% Reduction Crank pully very nicely.

Cheddarbob · 07-04-2007, 11:44 PM

why didnt you just go 2.5?

When I still had my sixer we put 2.5 on it. She didn't like it so I went with 2.25 on hers.

Her car=Her choice

Cheddarbob · 07-05-2007, 03:27 PM

That's what I thought too.

Hey, she's happy with it so I am good!! LOL

great03mustang · 07-07-2007, 11:41 PM

You're totally right!

I have a V6 that I turned into a "true dual" running machine! Long, long story short, I started with "custom" work that was horrendous, and ended up meeting some great folks and now have a super fabricator/mechanic that can weld like a computer does!

I now have stock headers into an Pypes hi-flow catted X-pipe into dual Flowmaster 50 series mufflers welded into a MAC catback kit. And...a LOT of custom fabricating to make it all work well together!

Pros:
Pypes is awesome to work with and fully warrants their products!
I like the hp increase my car has experienced with the X-pipe!
The Flowmasters! The company and the mufflers are fabulous!

Cons:
I cut out the MAC mufflers and welded in Flowmaster 50 series because I disliked the MACs. They were terribly, obnoxiously loud and the tone was awful!
MAC did not warrant their catted H-pipe, so I sent it back and requested a refund!
Droning occurs around 45mph...a result of the pipe size and the 3.8L V6 engine. I run 2.5" piping from the headers out to 3" stainless tips. I wish I had stuck with 2.25" out to 2.5" or 3"!

I wish I had stuck with the stock Y-pipe and gone dual from there back. I have had 4 exhaust systems and 5 sets of mufflers on my car over the past year! I have forked out a TON of money and time to have the system redone from the original (terrible) fabricator work. But, I'm extremely happy with the final product now. If I may ever help anyone else out, please contact me.

hey guys, im new to the forum so forgive me if this question has already been asked. But what would be a reasonable price to pay for a new exhaust system?

Nesster · 08-03-2007, 06:47 PM

The mac bolt on catback is a good choice. sounds good and all you do is unbolt stocker and install the y-piped dual setup.

Nesster · 08-05-2007, 09:05 PM

Hey, one more question......how much of a difference sound and performance wise is there between the y pipe setup for the MAC catback rather than going the route of buying a GT adapter and going duals from there??
