V6 exhaust question

KCstang · January 26th, 2009, 05:25 PM

I have the chance to buy a MAC catback exhaust setup for a 94-04 mustang gt or cobra. It is in good shape, with chrome tips, for $100. I am new to modding and was wondering if this setup would work on a 2004 3.9. What kind of modification would need to be made make it work? If this won't work then I will probably just buy Flowmaster 40's.

you would have to buy an adapter b/c they are for the v8. Or you could spend $280 and buy a brand new one made for the v6.

What type of adapter would I need and about how much do they cost? Just trying to save money where I can so I can buy more goodies.

just get an exhaust shop to fab you up one. it costs about the same and you get exactly wut you want

personally i would just get your local shop to fab up a adapter and go with the 100$ pipes you were looking at

If the mac is in good shape, take it to a local shop as stated above, but all they'll really need to do is fab up a mid-pipe (x or h). Does the mac catback come with a catted mid-pipe? If so, you could choose to go the o/r (off road) route meaning no cats, then in tern, sell the cats to a scrap yard and essintially, make your money back off doing your whole exhaust.

Its not that hard. Go to ford and Buy the Muffler Hanger and Tail Pipe Hanger For Pass side GT and the Gt Pipes will Go On Like a Gt.At least thats what i did on my first mustang

6ER THEN I 8ER! · January 27th, 2009, 02:26 AM

or just buy a hanger from ur local muffler shop for $5...thats what i did

must be off of a GT, or something with a live axle in the rear. the IRS cobras have different set ups for the exhaust.

KCstang · January 27th, 2009, 01:46 PM

Thanks for the info. Anyone know what the laws with the cats are in Missouri? I also have the chance to buy a used o/r h-pipe for $100.00 and put that with the MAC cat back.

Drew S. · January 27th, 2009, 02:28 PM

from what my shop told me is that if the catch u without them at your safety inspection its a pretty hefty fine. (im from carthage MO)

That is the one downside. You have to "know a guy" to get inspected. Or, just find a shop that doesn't mind inspecting o/r pipes.
