exhaust systems

villatic · January 29th, 2007, 07:25 PM

im looking to buy a nice exhaust sytem for my 06 and want dual exhaust. but the alot of the places im looking only have dual exhaust kits for the GT's, is it ok to put those kits on a V6?

also, could someone explain to me the difference between y pipes, x pipes, and x pipes wih crossover, etc.

y pipe is a y shape goes from both cats into one pipe, xpipe is in an x two pipes welded together gives better flow over y. h pipe in the shape of an h 2 pipes connected by a pipe in the middle my personal fav is the h.

most guys here will tell you full mac set up mac headers h pipe and cat back. If money is an issue you can get true duals for like 350 at a muffler shop. that is two separate pipes going straight back to the tips not connected at all you can get a crossover pipe to connect them for more even flow. And a gt catback system will work if you get an h pipe. try americanmuscle.com and v6mustangstuff.com for v6 cat backs.

if i go to my muffler shop and tell them i want true duals and an H pipe with flowmaster 40's....is that possible??? do i even need the flowmaster 40's. i dont want any cats...i know its illegal but i know a TON of people who dont have them and they dont get in trouble. woudlnt the flow 40's just make it not as loud???

the flow 40's give a nice and deep tone to your v6... but when you get in the higher rpms it wont have a very throaty sound because of our even firing engine. but in the normal cruzing speeds they have the best sound imo

Bies08 · January 29th, 2007, 08:09 PM

but is that what i should tell them...is the H pipe and the 'true duals'.....with the flowmaster 40's???how hard is it to put on true duals by yourself?

yeah they will custom make the pipe so it will cost a bit more. The cats you don't need if you don't have emissions make sure first though or you won't pass inspection. and get mufflers they help a lot and a non muffled v6 sounds like garbage.

3.8Coastie · January 29th, 2007, 08:11 PM

if you order the parts seperately from the internet they will be bolt ons... if you do it at a shop it will be welded on... im getting an off road h-pipe and duals with flo 40's on mine soon... and ill have a new body kit so ill have center rear exhaust as well

GreenFaleen · January 29th, 2007, 08:13 PM

I was going to get center then decided on the normal saleen bumper.

it is not a bad install if you can weld which is pretty much always recommended

Bies08 · January 29th, 2007, 08:15 PM

how hard is it to put on true dual exhaust..and what exactly do they ahve to do for that?? im not much on exhaust sorry guys..haha....it'd be alot better welded on woudlnt it?

3.8Coastie · January 29th, 2007, 08:19 PM

yeah it would be better welded on... less chance of there being leaks... but to put on a bolt on system, the easiest way would be to use a lift.. the rest can be done with basic hand tools

Bies08 · January 29th, 2007, 08:40 PM

well i got no one that has a lift...unless i got one of my uncles work places while their not busy and me and one of my friends can do it....how much woudl cost to put it on you think?

GreenFaleen · January 29th, 2007, 08:42 PM

weld on a kit you provide 50-100 bucks top

Bies08 · January 29th, 2007, 08:51 PM

are you talkin like a magnaflow kit!? thats ilke 600 bucks???or what kinda kit are you talking?

GreenFaleen · January 29th, 2007, 08:53 PM

no I mean if you already have the kit they will charge about 50-100 to weld it on. if you have a custom set up witrh an h-pipe done about 425 welded.

3.8Coastie · January 29th, 2007, 08:55 PM

i could get an off road h-pipe and duals with flo 40's for $375 welded on... but im gonna go for center exit rear exhaust so that will prolly be more

GreenFaleen · January 29th, 2007, 08:57 PM

well that is with a custom h-pipe

Bies08 · January 29th, 2007, 08:59 PM

GreenFaleen · January 29th, 2007, 09:04 PM
