Default True Dual Exhaust.

Im looking at a Mustang SLP Loudmouth II Exhaust with a Pypes 409 Stainless Steel Off-Road X-Pipe. Before I go out and spend $650-700, I want to make sure that will fit on my v6.

i've heard most of the ppl on here talk about some sort of adapter that will make most GT kits fit the 6er..i believe it's kinda like another Y pipe... hope that helps!

oh, one more thing... ya don't need an x-pipe w/our v6's...sumthin' to do w/it being an even firing motor. but ur choice/preference whether or not ya put one on.

In order to use a GT Catback you need to get rid of your Y pipe and use a X or H midpipe.

For the one billionth time LOL...

You don't need the adapter kit. Just go into an exhaust shop and have them either:
1. Cut the y pipe and run straight pipes to your cat-back.
2. Make a mid pipe (H or X)

It'll be easier and cheaper this way.

Oh and I forgot to mention that you don't want to run a y pipe to another y pipe because that is defeating the performance purpose of a dual exhaust set-up. You're trying to eliminate the bottle neck a Y-pipe produces so why add another y pipe?

yep exactly like what I said the adapter is just going to make you spend money that you don't need to.

I don't think SLP is going to sound very good on a sixer, you should listen to some clips first and make sure it's exactly what you want.


Edit: need to clarify SLP with an X pipe and no cats isn't going to sound that good.

if you leave the cats and run an H-pipe, it might sound okay, otherwise the six really loves a chambered muffler to take the unpleasant sounds out
