So much competition with exhaust shops makes for low prices

Up here they wanted $500 to install the longtubes, then like another $800 for a fabbed non mandrel bent exhaust. So I bought all the parts and im doing it myself.

god damn thats alot! but must be those Canadian costs lol

But we have free healthcare and dont pay as much taxes, however im 17 so i dont pay tax other than GST on items i buy so right now it just makes everything more expensive

if i put mac long tubes will my single exst. have to be altered ?

goren813 · May 25th, 2010, 05:03 PM

Yes but you'll want to anyway. You can either run straight pipes from the headers to a muffler on each side, then either dump it or have tips installed.

Or use a midpipe, to mufflers, etc. A midpipe is not necessary on these cars as the engines are even firing.

Yes, keeping you single exhaust would defeat the purpose of the longtubes, which is mainly for sound on our cars.

Isn't the mid pipe simply the pipe connecting the headers and mufflers? The H,X, catted, and off road are types of mid pipes if I'm not mistaken.

No, you don't "have" to alter it. Your mid pipe would have to be altered, but the single pipe from the muffler back does not. So if you wanted to put on longtubes now and save up for a dual exhaust or a bigger single then you could. But your stock single exhaust would still hinder the gains that long tubes would yield untill you either get the dual exhaust or a bigger single. So no, it doesn't HAVE to be altered, but it is recommended.

Yes go duals, you already have one muffler bought so you will probably spend 300 bucks on the rest of the exhaust if you have it profesionally installed..
Round here you can sell your cats for 55 bucks a piece

LONG TUBES!! shorty's are not worth much except that they wont leak like the stock manifolds. Long tubes with breath better.

SSj_Guitarist · May 25th, 2010, 11:26 PM

Yea I plan to get LT's no crossover and probably flowmaster 40's or 44's (any thoughts on those two? or other suggestions?) however because I live in canada I have to keep the cats, so I'm not sure if I'd be better to use the stock ones or get some high flow ones...on my car there are 4 cats. two small ones just off the headers and then two really long ones before the y pipe..does anyone know why they're so long? and perhaps a better question..are they even cats :p
but ya, the only reason I even suggested a gt catback was because I want the chrome tips and thought it might be cheaper that way

NorCalWhtHrse · May 27th, 2010, 05:37 AM

Everyone here rides flow 40s.

But personally i like magnaflow ftw

GreenMustang00 · May 27th, 2010, 01:24 PM

Magnaflow sounds ricerish on the v6s

SSj_Guitarist · May 27th, 2010, 04:41 PM

ya I found a few magnaflow clips and I like their sound..stupid question, whats the difference between the 40's and 44s? oh, and does anyone rock out those slp mufflers on AM? One more questions lol, should I throw some resonators on there as well?
I'm going for like a classic sorta late 60's early 70's mustang sound..so any tips for that direction would be awesome lol

ESG-642T · May 27th, 2010, 04:43 PM

40s = mustang sound
anything that resembles a flow 40 = mustang sound

magnaflow = v6 import sound

SSj_Guitarist · May 28th, 2010, 10:18 PM

lol, well that simplifies things greatly

Horseyxpowered · June 3rd, 2010, 02:42 PM

40 sounds real good on mine, i need to get this damn exhaust manifold problem fixed, casue its leaking and ticking...YO SOUTH FOUR, i just put on my COBRA FRONT BUMPER and it looks mean as hell

Horseyxpowered · June 3rd, 2010, 03:35 PM

ok final thought ---> if i replace both my right and left exst manifolds with long tube headers, to high flow cats, to flowmaster 40s...and dump the tips... does that sound good ? thats without going with an H-PIPE set up. just straight tubes. some of my dads students are going this at the tech school, i just need to know exactly what i should get, note, i have one flowmaster, org exst. thanks so much i will be writing reviews on yinz for helping me out
