Looks like you get everything you need, including the dual hangers. And you are good for it being stock, its made for the stock headers.. cats,muffs ... you're fine, I beleive.

You get the following:

1 - 2.5" Aluminized Crossover X-Pipes w/ high flow cats for stock or shorty Headers
1 - 2.5" Complete 409 Stainless Steel Exhaust system
2 - Great Sounding 409 Stainless Steel Street Pro Mufflers w/ Lifetime Warranty!!
1 - All Hardware & Hangers
1 - Instructions
- All Pypes Exhaust systems carry a Lifetime Warranty which is unmatched in the Industry!!!

You don't need a crossover for a V6..but I don't think there's any negative effects to running one in a 6.

thanks pcola...i was also considering that as well...that would probably be my first choice...but another question...do you guys think its worth it to just go ahead and get the MAC Catback designed for the V6 or should i go ahead and get an H-pipe and then get a GT catback exhaust...do you think there would be a huge difference...in other words do you think the extra $300 or so bucks are really worth it...

I would say it's not worth it to get an H/X, for one, V6's have an even piston firing order, so a crossover isn't necessary in the midpipe, and it won't really do anything for performance..maybe make the exhaust sound a tad louder, but probably sloppy. The Y pipe bolton will do fine, the only drawback is you might catch shit for not having a "true dual." A member here, MustangVsix has the Mac Y-pipe bolt on exhaust and he swears by it.

ok thats cool...one last question...would i need to get a new bumper, or will it be fine with the stock v6 bumper??

PColav6 11-03-2006 08:48 PM

V6 bumper will work, but you will need to angle the tips down so it clears under the bumper, and you'll need another exhaust hanger since you're going dual..www.v6mustangstuff.com has an exhaust hanger kit

Ebonikz 11-03-2006 08:52 PM

thanks man...you are extremely helpful...how would i go about angling the tailpipes down...im gonna be getting this put on elsewhere, because im challenged in the automotive department..lol and the hanger kit on that site is for 99-04...im drivin a 97...would i be able to get a hanger kit from the dealership or something

PColav6 11-04-2006 09:22 AM

Yeah you can get another hanger from the dealer, as far as the angling goes, I think you just have them hang lower on the hanger, it will kinda make them point downwards, but you should still get good ground clearence, ask mustangvsix for pics of his exhaust, maybe he can tell you how to do it
