side exhaust...

RFM 40th V6 · August 5th, 2011, 12:05 AM

Well I'm still using it. The club has moved on, however I love it.

I have to redo my signature though. My v6 is RIP now.

yeah I'm thinking of moving up to a V8, my neighbor has a 2004 dark gray GT covert. It has 22,000 miles on it... he drives it 3 times a summer basically, he says he will give it to me for 10k, good idea?

I hate seeing people spend $10k+ on GTs. Even low mile ones. You can pick up a Mach with a few more miles for $10-12k and enjoy the 4v engine.

i hate seeing that too, becuase im the one who is trying to buy them, but everyone thinks they are worth 20X more than what they actually are

pull his blue book value...what people think their cars are worth and actual value is always fun to compare

Just an FYI on side exhaust - you'll lose power over dumps or rear exit as you're adding ~ 270 degrees of turns to the exhaust (the muffler has to sit behind where the exhaust exits).

There's also not really enough room for it if you have subframe connectors; even with only 2" pipe, you end up with ~1" of clearance under the pipe.

the set that came with my car from roush don't

but anyway OP, about the Roush body kit, if your car is lower than stock right now, be aware that you will scrub on just about everything, I scrub pulling in and out of my driveway and can't pull into my girlfriends because the bumper hits the ground

just make sure if you go that route you won't have any issues. Also every shop I've been to in the last 6 months has not been able to get the car on a lift due to the body kit just a heads up

I'd love to see pics.

The only side-exhaust setups I've seen on a fox chassis Mustang that are able to not use a 180-degree muffler have tiny-ass little glasspacks that don't actually do anything for the sound, and wouldn't be legal anywhere with a 95 db limit (like CA).

Anything with a "real" muffler requires that 180 degree bend in the muffer, plus the 90 out to the side.
