I called a shop called Radmotorsport Inc in Waipahu, HI. I called to get a quote about dualies. I told them long tube headers, custom h-pipe, and original 40's.

They transfered me to a tech guy and he, like so many other tech guys to other people, told me that an H-pipe was "old school" and unneccessary, that original 40's will make my car sound like a Honda, and that I should keep my cats and shortie headers because long tubes will have zero effect. He said they would simply remove the y-pipe portion and replace it with an x-pipe.

Also, they crush bend.

[Averlus]

sounds like you are going to have to pay to dollar for pre fabbed and shipping dude... Mac headers and Mid pipe... then from there your choice of cat cat back...

spin tech are decent at best I haven't heard them on a six but i know that they are a insulated chamber muffler... well a few of them are.... but still

Sure it will..
Just ask all the x pipe v6 guys who hate it now because of the raspyness. Or i'm sure somebody here will chime in soon.

Theirs a difference....

you used different mufflers... one is a flow through and one is a chambered muffler thats where a lot of the difference comes from...

i didn't say that there was no difference i said that there is a small insignificant difference

[supermachone]

x pipe, h pipe, y pipe, hell you could invent a z pipe, no matter what kind of pipe is on a v6 ur not gonna get much sound difference at all...idling these cars sound good with duals but as soon as you accelerate the rice begins to cook!

honestly my car doesn't sound that ricey at all... and when you hit 3k ... it just sounds like some one is sneezing really really hard on to a piece of metal

[94v6blkndred]

yea i got a custom X with two cats cut and my "cheap ass flow immatation mufflers" aka Force Auto's that everyone bashes and i get compliments all the time about my exhaust sounded nice and deep....

But their is a difference, and if you can differentiate in sound quality you can tell this difference. Maybe it comes from me being an audiophile.

Maybe on your 6, not mine.

Her? Thats jut the gf....

[Onemanzu]

or maybe the quality of the video file doesn't suffice and you can't tell the obvious difference due to the flatness of it all

Could be the audio quality of your computer's speaker suck and you should upgrade to Dolby digital....

[Onemanzu]

for computer speakers??

HA HA! okay... im saying the format of the video doesn't allow for the peaks and lows in the actual sound its self... most cameras are decent... if you really want to get the full range... get a recording study... and you might get better sound quality

[Averlus]

This other shop with the mandrel bender doesn't advertise Mac headers. They do, however, advertise Hooker, JBA, and Thorley headers.
