i want to buy an aftermarket exhaust for my new 06 v6. im planning on buyin a cat back system and i know most provide around the same hp increase. i was wondering if anyone know which kits make the v6 sound like a v8 or just loud and throaty but not rediculous. thanks

just made a post about exhaust sound

look at those links

[itschristorres8]

those are for older cars...i'll try to find clips of ur year
i'd say get flowmaster 40's if u want sound or MAC both are great

[thekidtucker]

thanks that helped but i didnt see any 05 and up cars and i know that it sounds different on the 4 liter rather than the 3.8

[thekidtucker]

thanks sorry didnt see your last post yeah so mac and flows 40s sound good but are they rediculously loud

no, on a v6 nuthin is rediculously loud aside from open header


if u want sumthin softer get GT take offs

[thekidtucker]

hey thanks a lot im sure ill use your info when i buy in a couple weeks. ill send you a sound clip

you should consider a full exhaust setup so you dont have to repurchase parts to work together in the future. I suggest at least an H or X pipe to a cat back to get the power the Y pipe robs. Long tube headers are a plus as well. Getting rid of catalytic converters will ulitmately make the most power difference.

would be a good set up for your car "thekidtucker" you'd see about 20+hp gains with the exhaust and long tubes. i second that that motion.

if i remove the cats wont that make it so it wont pass smog. i also read about high flow cats that dont rob hp but also make it smogable. the long tube headers v.s. the short tube what would be the difference in hp and loudness.

[itschristorres8]

dont get short tubes...Atlanticblue was tellin me its a waste..and it is. they're almost the same price and the short tubes might get u 10hp. long tubes will double that

[thekidtucker]

i didnt see any slp loudmouth for the 05 and up mustangs on any online stores. i love the sound but do you think i would be getting pulled over cuz it souds amazing but almost like a drag car

[itschristorres8]

lol noo, ive never heard a v6 EXTREMELY loud

[thekidtucker]

i know this sounds real newbie of me but if you had and 05 and up what would you get for it

[itschristorres8]

long tubes with x or h pipe, preferable X with no cats, and MAC mufflers or flowmaster idk....which ever of the 2 was cheapest or that i could get

[thekidtucker]

hey thanks a lot you all have been a huge help

[itschristorres8]

no prob man. everyone is here to help. just post sum clips so we can hear that thing roar

I myself would stay away from the x-pipe. You will be better off with an H-pipe on an even fire motor. The X will give it a much higher pitched ricey sound. Also if you have emission testing in your state then you will want cats. They do not restrict as much as they used to. Longtube headers,H-pipe and a takeoff GT catback exhaust and you will be set...

have you heard mine? long tubes, no cats, straight through mufflers. it doesnt get much stree legal decibals...

X would be ideal for flow on the 4.6, but since the essex motor is even firing, as turp suggested, an H will give the best sound with a chambered muffler.

if you have emissions, long tubes and off road midpipes will fail. get shorty headers or none at all, a high flow midpipe with high flow catalytic converters, and a cat back of your choice
