i wanna get some LT's but what do i do as far an a midpipe....can i use the custom one i have now ...or do i have to get an offroad h or x ...and if so is there anyway to get by emmissions with those?

[tjames]

you can only get by emissions if you pay a shady guy at a smog shop to use somebody elses car but its gunna be expensive because its hard to do and he is pocketing that money becuase if you want to get buy you have to pay him

u can use what u have now...but would need to be cut down of course to fit...and emissions is a problem...unless u live in FL or know people that can help

[Onemanzu]

all you got to do is have something going from the collectors to the mufflers... nothing hard about that... how ever you wanna go about it is your call

[AtlanticBlue99]

some states will fail a long tube header setup in visual inspection, regardless of how it performs on the sniffer test

yups ^....better put them on after the test...and keep ur stock mani folds and a mid pipe for them every time u needa go for the test lol...i know plenty of people in NY do this

[tjames]

^ ya cause they already know it will fail, it just saves them time

so your sayin take them off and switch them back to stock every year for emmissions?

[tjames]

should be every 4 years but yes you could do thats but its gunna be a pain in the ass

[02ponypackage]

thats one option...just think u do this every so many years...but in between its worth it right ?

u can try and pay people off too

or not do LTs

ya but it is expensive, i know a guy that paid a smog guy $350 to be legal

[thetrooper31]

true....my friends dad does own a shop ...and my friend works there but hes away at school hmm .... would gettin shortys give me any increase in power or a better sound?

[turp]

As a general rule Long tubes for bottom end and shorties for top end power. IMO the difference between the two performancewise is undetectable by the butt dyno so it really only matters what you want for sound. The V6 is gonna sound like a ricer up top no matter what you do so live with it. The best way to get a good sound down low is to install a long tube setup with a nice cam and VIOLA! V8 sound at idle but tinny rice up top.

^ thats because you havent been on the dyno with stock manifolds then LTs swapped out...The LTs will make a difference esp. with a tune or when Forced Induction is used...being the LTs will be used with a Dual Exhaust setup it will help flow better also assuming there a CAI too...and V8 sounds come from V8s...just a louder V6 sound is the result of exhaust and aggresive Cams

the v8 sound doesnt come from being a v8, it comes from being an odd-firing motor. or even-firing motors will never have the tone of the odd-firing motors

[02ponypackage]

do u know of a V8 that sounds not like a V8 ? i know the firing order has to do with it...but how many V6 mustangs have this odd firing order ?

Ive heard my share of Cammed LS1s and built Terminators...and I wish my car could sound 1/4 as good...i even drove a stock 03 GT and 07 GT and realized quick my exhaust is horrible...haha

[Onemanzu]

unless someone makes an odd firing cam and figures out how to re engineer the crank...

305 Camaro

[02ponypackage]

which year is that Camaro ?....ive heard some beast Grand Nationals though i must say...

[HMUSN]
