I'm sure grimmz will chime in here. He has side exhaust on his v6 and it sounds pretty good. As far as "making that sh*T rumble", it aint gonna happen on a v6, however, you have options. Turbo, nitrous, cam, all will get you a lot more power outta the sixer.

you should look into a supersix stage 2+ or stage 3 package, it will definately liven up your sixer alot, i am looking to do the stage 2+...and as for exhaust it all depends on how much you want to spend...grimmz has a very good sounding exhaust but he did pay a bit more then some are willing, so hopefully he will chime in soon.

If you are not satisfied with the performance of your V6 then dont waste your time with bolt on parts. You definately will need a full exhaust either way though. After the exhaust you should be installing a supercharger if you want to keep up with GTs.

Exhaust+Supercharger = ALOT of fun

Mac makes dual exhuast kits for 6 bangers so you might look into that. Some LT headers would also be nice. However you will never have the rumble of a v8.

how much would a full exhaust cost and how much would a super charger cost?

i have the mac catback exhaust system from this place, http://www.brenspeed.com/mustang_v6/ , and it is the one that is a direct bolt on replacement for our 6ixers...you either need to have an exhaust shop make you the passanger side hanger since you are adding an additional muffler, or you can buy one thru them for 50$...

6bangers = V6 mustangs:bash:

also check out this thread, and READ IT!!, it will answer many of your questions about exhaust...https://mustangboards.com/v6-tech-fo...es-setups.html
