and if i needed to get a mid pipe, would this work?-http://www.americanmuscle.com/pypes-hpipe-shorty-offroad-9604.html

and would that fit on a stock v6 bumber?

yes it would work with the adapter. If you got the adapter you wouldn't need a midpipe. That midpipe wouldn't work anyway if you were to get a midpipe instead of the adapter it must be for a V6. Yea it will fit with a v6 bumper. SLP usually does not sound good on a v6 just a heads up

i bought a v6 mac catback exhaust sysyem and now i whant to get the h pipe convert system so is my mac v6 catback exhaust system fit up to the h pipe or does it have to be a v8 catback and also what the hell are the 2 long things coming off the cat. converters are they restrictors?

Which did you buy the one that looks like this:



or similar in shape to this:



if you bought the 1st one that doesn't work with an H pipe. It's meant to attach to your stock midpipe (Y pipe). If you bought the second one then you need to remove the Y pipe and either run straight pipes to the headers or run an H pipe.

true, but if he did buy the 1st one I think he could a) call up mac and see if he can purchase the tubes to make it the second one, or b) he could take it to a shop and have them fab up those two straight pieces to fit to his H-pipe.

yeah true I didn't think of that when I was typing

[james caputo]

thanks! mustangv6, yeah mac does sell the two flow tubes between the h-pipe and the mufflers

[james caputo]

i just got my v6 y-pipe system into true dual now no h-pipe or x i had it fabricate at a shop so now i'm lookking at the 4 cats now i want to do something about the two long cats after the two short ones would it be a good idea to get a high flow one and if so what will that do for me, i would love to get rid of it period but virginia is so strick on this stuff so any sugestions

[spike_africa]

You could get rid of all the cats and add 2 highflow ones in place of the 4 you have. But with the amount of money you just spent you could of done a bolt on H-pipe with cats.

no point of an x pipe. If you were going to get a midpipe I would go with an H or run straight pipes. X pipes make more sense on a v8 since the v6 is even firing. Shorty headers won't really do anything if you were to replace the headers I would go with long tubes for the most gains. If you go with long tubes you will need a shorty midpipe

ok dont know if this has been dicuss yet but probaly has, but wat is better

Magnaflow FTW!
Do it! Do it!

[Cheddarbob]

get some super 44 flowmasters = demon v6

[Steeda21]

i have some magnaflows but they arent that loud and i wanna go louder. My friend had some 1 chambers on his v6 and sounded pretty good so i might go with those. I hvae some retarded friends that dont know alot about cars and they seem to think that turndowns would hurt my gas mileage lol that cant be true is it?

[3.8LMustang]

damn but i still dont know, my fuckin brain is going crazy cuz i dont know which ones to pick plz need sum help, i want magnaflow but at about 2500rpm the sound rice, n flowmasters they decrease ur low end, n also sound raspy at about 3000rpm also they dont flow good.

Good thing about magnaflow is that they flow better than flowmasters, and good thing about flowmasters is the sound , so damn i freakin need help, i know if i get flow's i would be able to make up the loss of the low end tq with LT headers or the intake manifold spacer, n wat i mean by that is the space that belongs between the lowe and upper intake manifold



PLZ yall i need help on this i cant decide

[Steeda21]

First of all, not to rain down on your parade but when you are getting exhaust it is not for performance man. Yeah these places say it will give you this much amount of ponies but that is a load of crap. You would be lucky to even feel a difference at all. If i were you i would forget about the so called "power lose" and go for the mufflers that sound the best.

[3.8LMustang]

^^^^ya thats wat i was thinking man

if you want something that sounds good and doesnt get ricey in the higher RPMs check out Spin Tech. They made not be the loudest exhuast out there but IMO they sound amazing.

heres a sound clip of them

[NeedACobra]

So....if I want to dual exhaust my 96 v6 I wouldnt need the adapter kit, or have to buy an x or h pipe..? I just buy any 94-98 gt or cobra exhaust and have a shop fit it on for me?

[Steeda21]

you can do the adapter or the h pipe. You can buy any exhaust but i would recommend the shop just do the piping themselves because there is no advantage or disadvantage to the exhaust kits vs the custom fabbed ones and it would be cheaper if the shop fabbed one. That is what i wish i did but my exhaust was a gift so i really had no choice lol

[Jon98Stang]

I have been looking for an exhaust adapter kit forever!!! Will this adapter kit work with stock headers?

http://www.americanmuscle.com/v6duexadkit.html

I mean idk where it would hook up too. im new at this exhaust bullshit
