Please suggest to me anything I can do to improve the sound of my v6. I already have flowmasters but it just doesn't cut it.

bbk long tubes on a 2004 v6? what are you talking about?

 

[tsp_2177]

o well then
cam and all the other supporting mods lol

 

[Samuel1881]

Sorry to be a dumbass but what exactly is a x-pipe?

 

[tsp_2177]

its a mid pipe that crosses over that helps/hurts the sounds of some cars

 

[Samuel1881]

I don't have an x-pipe so what do you think it will sound like with no cats and no x-pipe , straight piped into flows?

 

[tsp_2177]

from what ive heard, v6's and no cats are a no go
unless you get longtubes, then sometimes it still a no go

 

[Samuel1881]

[tsp_2177]

no, your exhaust manifold is basically shorty headers, long tubes will extend down to your midpipe, eliminating your cataylic converters

I think MAC is the only company that makes LT headers for v6's

Mustang V6 Headers from StangMods.com

You do not have longtubes. You have the stock manifolds right now.

Mac is the only brand I know of that makes them for the v6. Correct me if im wrong though.

Dangit, haha. Both of ya'll beat me to it.

Only problem with longtubes is they are illegal in alot of states due to emission laws. And the install on them is a PAIN!
