V8 exhaust system on a V6

Systemreset · October 13th, 2007, 09:46 AM

Can I put an Borla V8 exhaust system on a V6. I am going to put an X-pipe and two hi flows on it. will i have a back pressure problems? are the mufflers the same on a v8 and v6?

you will lose a bit of back pressure but the borla exhaust will make up for that. you will be fine.

Systemreset · October 13th, 2007, 10:03 AM

sweet because the v8 exhaust is cheaper. I think it is because it doesnt come with a y pipe.

have fun with it and let us know how it goes and sounds

yes it will all fit and it will work... you will lost a bit of bottom end torque but gain more upper end horse power

El_Cangri · October 13th, 2007, 04:25 PM

get a exhaust clip when you get it..

i never heard borla on 6 just on the 8's..

So i could put http://www.rpmoutlet.com/musv8maccat.htm#1 and add a H pipe or any X pipes on my 2004 stock v6? Which is better X or H pipes?

MWWarlord · October 14th, 2007, 01:24 AM

Yeah as everyone else said, it will fit. However, I would recommend an h-pipe over the X-pipe, but it's really just personal preference. Both will work. And as the others said, you will lose low end torque(due to a loss of backpressure), but it just moves up the power curve. Plus it's gonna make you sound ALOT better. and the two tips sticking out the back will look better than one. I also have never heard a Borla on a V6. you'll have to let us know how it comes out.

El_Cangri · October 14th, 2007, 01:33 AM

X pipes give a raspy sound

H would give u a nice deep tone

so go H

Zatrekaz · October 14th, 2007, 01:37 AM

Im about to do the same setup on my v6.

Custom made H-pipe, Flowmaster 40s, and 4" tips. Its just like a v8 exhaust, with the exception of the Flows and Tips.

N29468 · October 14th, 2007, 01:38 AM

How do u think a SLP loudmouth would sound on a v6 with h pipe similar to flowmaster?

MWWarlord · October 14th, 2007, 01:39 AM

I've heard that the SLP sounds great on a V8 but it's really ricey on the v6

MWWarlord · October 14th, 2007, 01:40 AM

stick with the flowmasters they sound best on our cars IMHO.

El_Cangri · October 14th, 2007, 01:43 AM

the only thing i recomend for us is flowmaster or a MAC catback they both sound good the MAC is silent until u press the gas..

in the youtube search write 40s v6 mustang very nice vids will come
mac v6 mustang

El_Cangri · October 14th, 2007, 01:45 AM

what tubing size?

El_Cangri · October 14th, 2007, 01:49 AM

Flows 40s vid

MAC

N29468 · October 14th, 2007, 01:51 AM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzz99AV6mX0 Does sound great but if i bought a v8 flowmaster and a h pipe what would i have to do to make it fit because it would seem to easy just to install it like any other v6 exhaust. http://www.rpmoutlet.com/musv8maccat.htm#1
