if i get a exhaust kit . does that remove my mufflers?

[HMUSN]

if you want it to it can.

most just replace the stock ones with their own.

[Random-Hero]

i also have an exhaust question.... how big is the stock pipe on a 99 V6? is it 2 and 1/2 " ? and if so.... rather than getting a cat back kit where the new piping would be 2 and 1/2 " would i be able to get a similar sound from just adding a new muffler and removing the resonator?

ya my friend put a magnaflow muffler on his and it sounds pretty good. but remember your going to only have a single exhaust, not dual. Dual looks, sounds, and performs better.

[Random-Hero]

well not gaining any performance doesnt bother me....im just looking for a bit of a deeper sound...also i dont want to be confused for a gt so the look doesnt matter either...

does putting just mufflers on sound quite a bit different from duals? or not really too different of a sound? and btw what kind of magnaflow muffler did your buddy put on his?

[Avaric3]

the stock piping is only 2". so by buying an aftermarket exhaust, you will go up to 2.5" and free up some hp and your power bamnd will move a lil bit into higher rpms

cant the body shop just slap on a muffler to your stock piping?

im not sure which magnaflow muffler he got but it sounds good and deep. I have flowmaster 40s which i think sounds better but it might just be because its dual.

well thats what i was hoping. lol. and yea i want a muffler that will give me an overall deeper tone but i dont want it to get too ricey/whinney in high RPMs

[Onemanzu]

its going to take a lot of work to not have it sound ricey/whiney in the higher RiPeM's

[sbland26]

well i no his magnaflow sounds pretty darn good so maybe its better on single then flowmasters r

[Onemanzu]

no matter what it still has a tiny bit of a whine up top doesn't it?? you knows its their... come on...

i still think chambered mufflers are gonna be a better bet

[sbland26]

ha alright alright ill give that to ya its probably there...dual is better anyways

[Random-Hero]

ok so then what kind of mufflers would you guys recommend to just be put on the stock pipe...im also thinking of taking off the resonator if that makes a difference.

[sbland26]

well i really think magnaflow since i know his sounds good...any type of muffler is gonna give u that whine at top but u will only hear it if ur racing.

[Onemanzu]

me ... you could do a flowmaster 40 series... anything like 40 super 40 44's 40 delta's , mac prochamber, or something like that... but thats just me... honestly...

[Random-Hero]

ok... so around 3k RPM and under would i be ok?

[sbland26]

even higher then that probably gonna sound good...maybe 4k starts the whine

[Random-Hero]

does your friend have a universal magnaflow muffler? of is it specifically for a 3.8?

[sbland26]

Heres 2 clips but remember this is the new 4.0 mustangs so it will be alittle different. But u can tell magnaflow is deeper but i think you were right, onemanzu, flowmaster sounds better to me.
