You have to get a new mid pipe, either a x or h. then any GT side exhaust kit will bolt up to it. Like the rousch or the steeda.

This is exactly what i did to use the steeda side exhaust. I bought a MAC H-pipe, and the exhaust and it bolts right up. Go for it!

do yourself a favor and just get a catback side exhausts sound like doodoo

side exhausts are notorious for ripping out

00RoushV6 · September 18th, 2008, 03:09 PM

I have a side exhaust made by Roush. The problem that I find with it it speed bumps. I have had issues with it almost getting ripped completely out. I also have spring overs that have lowered my ride 1.5" in the front and 0.8" in the back. Other then that you are going to need an X-Pipe or an H-pipe

I was thinking of doing side exhaust until I read some problems with the clearance. It would be horrible to spend all that money and hit a speed bump <which ARE everywhere these days> and have them rip out....love the look, but I'm not doin' it. So THANKS for posting up..saved my a ton of $$

00RoushV6 · September 18th, 2008, 09:53 PM

It has great sound and performance, but the low clearance is a killer. Glad that I could be of assistance.

00Roushv6 NOICE RIDE! love that exaust man....

It would be cheaper to get a couple magnaflow mufflers and get a shop to make you one.
You have to be careful going over speed bumps, I have bottomed mine out a few times.

yeah i was thinkin ov this but im not sure if they would sound good or not???

00RoushV6 · September 19th, 2008, 07:21 AM

If my car didn't come with the side exh. already done, I would not have done it. I think I would have gone with a good 2.5" - 3" x-pipe into ford racing tips Just a personal pref. I like the look it gives. Not that I don't like the look of mine. Just don't like the pain of not being able to go over some speed bumps...

GreenFaleen · September 19th, 2008, 08:11 AM

hey 00Roush you run at Fayetteville Dragway any? your car look familiar

00RoushV6 · September 19th, 2008, 08:17 AM

Green-

Actualy I haven't made it to the track yet. I know that before I deployed when I was first on here, back when you had your stang. We had talked about freaky fridays at the track. You may have seen it around Fayettnam....

GreenFaleen · September 19th, 2008, 09:50 AM

ah thats where I know you from lol. yeah probably im down there alot since my car club is based at rick hendrix toyota.

anyways back on topic lol

00RoushV6 · September 19th, 2008, 12:00 PM

We may have to make arangemnts to get together one of these days and do a face to face....

scubasteve041186 · September 20th, 2008, 01:47 PM

*sigh* you don't need a mid pipe, but it is recommended, you can just true dual it ( meaning straight pipe) it sounds raspy at high rpms stock./ i'm waiting to throw toegther my s/c and stage 3 pak then i'll let you know about the new sound.
i've only ripped mine off in a sidewalk sewer drain since mine sticks out from the car about 2". i've also dropped my car over 2" and that was a big mistake with side exhuast and i would not recommend it. i'm already paying the "stupid tax" trying to fix half the problems.
anyways i've never ripped it on a bump it just bangs on it or scrapes ( you learn where to drive really quick)
anyways i think spine tech also makes a kit for side exhuast for our v6 mustang.

note.. i do recommend not lowering your stang past an inch if you want side exhuast. you have to fix body roll problems if the tips stick out like mine. you literally scrape on most things. and well it looks cool but a huge pain in the ass.
