Ok so I know there is and official exhaust thread with clips and all that but it just doesnt help me enough. Originally, since im a pretty new mustang owner, I was just looking for a simple upgraded exhaust. 6er then I 8er showed me a great one that I planned on getting. But Ive been browsing the clips and watching youtube videos and I realized, I definitely want more. Plus I just found out there is a shop that specializes in exhaust down the road from my house, so I said screw it im goin all out. So if you guys want to help me out im looking for dual exhaust coming out the back. I dont have a GT bumper but I have seen alot of videos with the pipes just coming out under the bumper and it looks pretty good too me. I open too alot of suggestions for mufflers. I still am a fan of the thrush welds ever since 6er showed em too me. But really i open to your suggestions since im pretty new to this. My one rule is I dont want to have to deal with something that wont pass emissions, because I dont want to have to deal with all that ****. So your suggestions are welcome here and I really appreciate it.

So i went to my local shop and talked to the head mechanic there ( he is a family friend ). He said i he could do that set up for me but it would cost about 500$ for everything. But then he said to me that he swears up and down that any kind of exhaust put on a v6 mustang will sound like ****. So im really not sure. I mean ive heard your guys and people on youtube and they sounded fine. But this guy is a professional and I know he wouldnt just lie because hes a fan. So now im kinda puzzled. And i want to be SURE for 500$

i've done all i can do...if you want to listen to a "professional" that occasionally puts on v6 exhaust vs an entire mustang forum of 20,000+ members go right ahead lol.
as for the price it depends on location...in my area you're looking at around $300 for a full exhaust...some people on here say they pay around $600...so first off i'd call around...screw going to a family friend just because they're a friend...go to the place that will give you the best deal....don't be afraid to call every shop within 3 towns :yes that gives you the chance to haggle between shops

this **** pisses me off, every guy i talked to said the same ****, but think of it this way, they dont have v6's and prolly never have and if they didnt they didn't upgrade exhaust, and if they did they didn't do it the best way like were advising you.
and 500 for what exactly? if its just a catback thats pretty pricey, you might as well just buy the mac catback kit and swap the mufflers for thrush end up being 400+shop labor id imagine 40ish? and you'd have quality bent pipes

well that kit you posted is a 2-1-2 kit using a y pipe...if you just want the look of duals but not the sound then yeah that would work.
i just don't know why you're having so much trouble with this lol...at this point since you friends exhaust shop is going to charge you so much you might as well just settle and get one you can put on yourself at home with a jack and stands (the one you posted could do that)
V6 section's motto should be cheap and as ghetto as possible*
Buy thrush's and weld them on and go turn down.... If you wan't to sound like a tractor by all means go without mufflers. Remember this is a v6 mustang, you want Loud & still try to sound good you pay for it, its not a GT where you can swap to a Loud Mouth or a Magnapack and have something loud or something kinda loud and sounds like sex.
Also whats the obsession with wanting to be the loudest most heard mustang on the block and having 0 power to back it up, doesn't that fall under the ricer category?
