good sounding exhaust system

focus0frenzy1 · June 16th, 2008, 01:53 AM

OKay i know ive asked this before but i wanted more ppl to answer this

I have a 2004 v6 3.9L 5speed mustang. I already have dual exhaust on it. I

had the Ypipe cut out and the guy welded 2.25" Straight pipes with magna

flow mufflers on it. I dont like the sound of the exhaust mainly because they

sound too quite. Almost like the stock exhaust and thats not what i want. So

what should i do to make it louder?

WLJohnson05 · June 16th, 2008, 01:55 AM

longtubes with flowmasters

focus0frenzy1 · June 16th, 2008, 01:57 AM

longtubes and flowmaster mufflers is about as good as its gonna get unless u get the two cylinder upgrade

you want palin loud or deep?

i think WLjonshons setup hes tlking about would be somewat loud and pretty deep...if you want plain loud get resonators instead of mufflers

focus0frenzy1 · June 16th, 2008, 02:20 AM

what do the long tubes do? are they real expensive headers?

DeMello · June 16th, 2008, 02:22 AM

long tubes will run like 400-600 for gts but not sure about sixxers and u may not be able to do the work yourself

they'll make you louder and your gain a little bit of power

check americanmuscle.com

focus0frenzy1 · June 16th, 2008, 02:59 AM

well i want it to sound clean and good. i dont have the money for longtubes i wanna get that 3.73 and gears from my friend

focus0frenzy1 · June 16th, 2008, 03:00 AM

vacations always get in the way. Flying to LA and taking a 10 day cruise. there goes all my car money. then when i come back im going to Chicago, so theres all my summer car money

DeMello · June 16th, 2008, 11:42 AM

well next time your bout to take a 10 day cruise dont go and use all that money for a Novi 2000

AtlanticBlue99 · June 16th, 2008, 01:44 PM

you could just remove the catalytic converters... long tubes will require that anyhow.

DeMello · June 16th, 2008, 01:45 PM

do it rite and get an o/r pipe

dont just gut the cats

focus0frenzy1 · June 16th, 2008, 07:36 PM

for the mean time, what can i do that will keep i nice sounding exhaust. My next project after the exhaust is getting rims and a rear end with gears. Maybe a stereo also. Gas is 4.05/gallon and i work at steak n shake plus im a student. So obviously not a lot of $$$ coming in right now.

should i do headers also or leave stock headers? i heard the o/r text pipe on the v6 sounds like shit, true or false?

DeMello · June 16th, 2008, 08:01 PM

no clue

headers are expensive tho

N29468 · June 16th, 2008, 11:22 PM

I had a question. I just got my new exhaust put on and was wondering is there a break in period for the mufflers or is that some bullshit i read somewhere? I read somewhere after driving a while on them they sound better.

mufflers tend to get a lil louder after a period of time

N29468 · June 16th, 2008, 11:27 PM

O ok. Ill get a video of my setup on here soon i was gonna take one today but it was very windy. Hopefully tomm after i put on my CAI. I like the sound of mine but at higher RPM's 3000 and above its a little bit raspy but its just a 6 cant expect wonders.
