Exhaust
 
Headers or exhaust first?

i like the sound of MAC Longtube headers, O/R H-Pipe, and Flowmaster 2-chamber catback myself.

their would be no point in getting headers then have to wait to get a Catback. plus you can keep the stock headers on until you get more power.

yep, no need to replace the headers except for sound. Pick out a good sounding cat back.

what would be some good headers for me?

I already have true duals with a custom H-pipe with spin techs. I wouldnt mind making my 6er louder. But im afraid itll sound to ricey. any thoughts?

mac long tubes are good

MAC's FTW!

ive heard macs have fitment issues, im going with pacesetter, another question, without any back pressure, does that hurt our engines perf.?

im looking into exhaust,, i was going to do long tubes, to shorty h pipe, to flowmaster 40's and dump those, would that hurt my power at all? what kinda increase am i lookign at?

Bwesky, A lack of back-pressure is said to hurt the V6 engine but I have installed the pacesetter kit with straightpipes after my cats and have had no problem with a loss of torque. Without having any factual evidence (dyno sheets) to back up what I just said, I can only tell you that I don't feel any difference in torque. I have talked to numerous mechanics and engineers on the subject and most have reasured me that the catalytic converters provide all of the backpressure that a v6 engine needs to remain efficient.

hey bro, if you wait and by the end of next week i'll have my new setup on. right now i have stock headers, cats and flowmaster 2 chamber catback. i posted up a video on here http://i269.photobucket.com/player.s...Picture198.flv thats it. thats with what i have now just a 2-chamber flowmaster catback w/ cats still on.

i orderd Mac Longtube Headers and a Shorty o/r H-pipe. so they will be on by the end of next week and i'll have a video up.

ite cool, just keep us posted (by us i mean me) :D

MAC and someone else have headers.

But honestly stick with mid/catback. headers arent needed until you imporve the flow of the engine first.

blk00stang 05-29-2008 03:11 PM

Ok well thanks for all the input guys. Does anyone have the steeda catback dual exhaust? I just want to know how that sounds.
