Flowmaster 40's & ?

02GreyStallion · November 16th, 2009, 07:13 PM

Alright i have found the mufflers i want and now i need to know what size piping i need to get? And also whats the normal length for mustang tips/ ?? by 3 inches

WhtStang00 · November 16th, 2009, 08:36 PM

piping - as long as you arent going FI, go ahead and get 2.5 inch piping.
tips - tips are up to everyone and what they like. i have 3 inch tips and like the way they look, however i wouldnt mind having 3.5 inch tips

forced induction, such as a turbo or supercharger

I'd go 2.25'' unless you will go FI later. If that's the case, go with 2.5''

Many people like the 40s. Try to find some exhaust clips on youtube, but keep in mind that video quality doesn't always do the exhaust justice.

yeah man i love my flows, wouldnt mind having them louder, but thats just me. i like exhaust as loud as possible lol

mcqueen · November 17th, 2009, 01:51 AM

Haha I have to agree with you there. When I got my exhaust installed I figured it would be loud enough with stock headers and I would never need LT headers. Changed my mind and that's on my list of mods that will eventually be done

i had flows...i have thrushs now...but i think when i redo my exhaust for my new rear bumper i might get flow paths...i also like 3.5" tips

rfcsoulja · November 17th, 2009, 02:22 AM

^ Which do you like better, flows or the thrush? Are the flow 40s and flow paths similar?

Ya I dont plan on doing any of that in the near future

07arcticwhiteGT · November 17th, 2009, 08:29 AM

if your not doing FI and you want a louder exhaust, smaller pipes will give you better resonance due to the low flow of a 6er. anything above a 2.5" pipe is for v8 only because it will starve the engine. so when u get the flows, (which sound real good on a 6) make sure the piping is 2.5" or below

yeah i love my 3.5 in tips. look so sexy!

02v6staang · November 17th, 2009, 11:25 AM

+1 on flow's

02GreyStallion · November 17th, 2009, 05:36 PM

If you want a midpipe, I'd definitely suggest an H over the X. I ended up getting straight duals since a midpipe does nothing performance wise on our cars, and I didn't think the extra "mellow" was necessary.

02GreyStallion · November 17th, 2009, 05:59 PM

Sounds good

well...with stock headers i like the thrushs..however i'm picking up some LT's from a friend January and im going to go back to Flow 40s because they are already louder...

02GreyStallion · November 17th, 2009, 07:34 PM

Another question here. I just went to a shop and they wanted $420+ without tips. I wanna know where you guys are going to get them for 200ish

6ER THEN I 8ER! · November 17th, 2009, 07:38 PM

i bought my mufflers from Advance Auto ($39 each)...paid for tubing and install for about $100 at a local muffler shop...and picked up some tips for free from a friend because he didn't like 3.5" slash tips...

02GreyStallion · November 17th, 2009, 07:45 PM

You have the thrush welded right? Was it like USA Muffler or anything like that? BC I really dont want to spend $400+ for exhaust
