the shorty headers will give you no gain and be a waste IMO. there is no reason to get them, save that money for something else. everything else looks good and yes your creditcard is save on those sites, i have ordered from AM and mufflermall.com and been very pleased with the customer service.

 

you lose... he double posted... check the other one its 10 posts long

 

just realized that. i fail

 

yup

 

Idk why so many ppl like the flows. they just dont sound right on the 6's. you want a good sound when your actually driving i say you should go with the macs

you dont think this sounds right?

 

^TJ is that what your car sounds like?

 

a little bitt different because he has no cats. i have emmissions laws and had to keep them. i promise i will get a sound clip up soon hahah

 

i do like my set up a lot because it is quiet exept when u r on the throatle

 

i love the sound of my flows and honestly they don't sound like rice at all at 3k and up... they get really tin-y but other then that i have no problem with them what so ever

 

mine sounds pretty good at idle to... wanna hear?

 

the reason for small gaind on our cars i sbecause it is even firing ordre so the stock manifoldes can do just fine at removing the gases, and there isent to much of a back up

 

Soo, I have a question about exhausts.. It seems like the H-pipe is popular here. I was going to get an x-pipe, because I remember reading somewhere that it was better, but I don't remember why. Which is better? Also, is it recommended that I buy my own exhaust and bring it to the shop to have them put it on, or can I/should I buy it directly from the shop?

on our cars a midpipe really does nothing for performance because we have even iring engines, it just gets rid of some of the raspyness. i went with an H pipe.

i had my exhaust all custom made at a shop. you can buy it online and them have them install it, ususally runs about $150 for instal, its up to you as to what you want to do. depending on the shop sometimes its cheaper to buy everything and have it installed because i got some rediculous quotes for exhaust. but i had hookups at an exhaust shop so i had mine custom made.

 

drama, drama
Anywho... so, are you saying that there really isn't a difference between an x-pipe and h-pipe for v6 mustang?

 

praformance wise no sound yes, and that is all a mater of opption.

 

Looks like you are thinking right. You don't have to go to dual exhaust unless you really beef up the engine. Otherwise adding headers and dual exhaust will just hurt your performance. Good Luck with your project!

 

so giving the engine a more free flowing exhaust path will hurt it?

 

tjames, thanks. helpful but, I was being a sarcastic asshat to the exhaust guru.

 

haha oh ok

ok but listn he may not have listed it but u can tell there are other things on it. its not hard to hear th CAI and ive listend to id a million times b4 and i dont think ull get that sound w/ other mods

i also have a CAI, its a K&N CAI but dude, you like mac its all good, i think it sounds good too just saying any 3.8 that removes the cats and puts duals with flowmaster mufflers will sound like that

 

Very interesting thread for the most part. I am thinking of ways to soup up my wifes 07 4L a little and will follow this more.
Thanks all

shorty headers actually help a lot with the sound. my car sounds so much better since i replaced my stock headers with jba shorty headers. i only replaced them because i blew off the weld on my stock ones lol
