dualie for a good price...

[dark]

i've been lookin at some sites, callin some numbers...

i'm told that MAC doesn't make long tube v6 headers... yet i've seen pics of them on this very website lol... where do i buy them?

if i manage to get the longtubes, would i be best off going with an H pipe or Xpipe? (i want my stang to stay street legal, as it's my only car)

and i'm told by the salespeople that flowmaster is the way to go, but here i've read mostly bad things about them. are the salespeople just tryin to up their commission at my expense? what would be more cost effective than flowmaster?

bottom line, i want the most for my money, and i want maximum potential for when i start adding gears and superchargers and things of that nature...

help?

www.Extremeeffect.com Has headers that I beleive you are talking about.

alright, some H and X pipes have the "with cats" option, which, i believe is catalytic converters... am i best off to have these or to leave them off?

[Rellik]

Leave them on. Personally, a V6 without the CATS (which are the catalitic converters, correct) sounds like hell. They dont do anything for performance gains if you take them off.

[dark]

so what H pipe should i get? i'm ordering the long tube MAC headers... i know i don't want that half ass pacesetter nonsense... so probably a MAC H pipe with CATs then... what about the mufflers and tailpipes? any advise there? i'm a big fan of the cobra's throaty rumble, but i know it'll be impossible to have that on the v6, so what's a good mix of price and quality? give me a brand name

thanks again rellik

feel free to him me up on AIM

Have you read our article on exhaust?

http://www.232stangs.com/v6_stang_specs/articles/exhuast/

I have GT takeoffs, and they suit me fine. I especially like the apperance of the 3" stainless steel tips. Thre are some exhaust samples in the nultimedia section of our site www.232stangs.com/multimedia . EVal has a Top of the line Borla, where I have the bottom of the line True GT Dual Takeoffs. Check those out

^haha, i read, but didn't really comprehend... i'll give it another try

[el cheapo]

leave the cats on. They are nessacary for emissions and inspection, plus your car will sound bad witout them.

H-pipe and X-pipe are both good. Neither are really nessacary on a v6 but they help the sound. I have an X pipe. It sounds really good.

stay with 2.25" pipe. You dont want any bigger or you will lose alot of torque.

For Mufflers, read the sticky. I have flowmaster 40s. I am very happy with them. :mrgreen:

you dont have to buy all the pieces seperatly tho. You can have an exhaust shop fabricate all of it. Thats what i did. x-pipe with flowmaster 40s 2.25 inch and turndown tips. . $350 installed. If they try to charge you much more than that do this

[Rellik]

El Cheapo... the difference between your exhaust and mine... about 150 dollars out the door

[el cheapo]

where did you get yours done??? i thought i was getting a good price. . . but you have gt take off right? did you do it yourself?

[Rellik]

I got the GT Mufflers and pipes for 90 bucks, and installed at a local muffler shop for 100.

[el cheapo]

hack caugh!

:oops:

oh well i got my x-pipe and my flows. Im really happy with the sound so thats what counts.

heheh

minike wanted liek $600 to do it!
and this other shop i called said you couldnt put dual exhaust on a v6 mustang!!!!

:oops:

why are there so many idiots, and we cant shoot them?

[Rellik]

My muffler guy said I was an idiot for putting a GT dual exhaust on my car. I looked at him and said, "If you're not going to do it, or give me a hard time about it, let me know."

He shut up really quick and did it.

Shhhhh... my parents thought that smell was from my new exhaust.... shhhhhhhhh. :P

[Rellik]

who told you MAC doesnt make Long tube headers for the six.
Iam under the impression that they are the only one who does....

I cant remember if i've even seen another brand of long tubes for the 6.

Extreme effects sells the Long tube headers, I think possibly V6 mustang stuff also does.

Check out the sites on the banner rotators. That exhaust article isnt near completed... so it may be a while for anyone to understand... haha.. .
to much crap to do.

[dark]

alright, i've decided on MAC long tube headers. bassani x pipe with cats... flowmaster 40's 3 chamber catback... 2.5" on all

the only problem is, the parts add up to about a grand new... that's a lot, and i still have to do CAI and UDP (which i'll probably do first) ...in and case, i think i'd rather have new and be sure i'm not getting someone's secondhand crap...

thoughts?

[tire]

why do you want a dualy truck?

i didn't read all of it, but if you aren't supercharging soon you're going to regret it, i gaurantee it!

[dark]

i'll be supercharging within the year, hopefully

but as things seldom go my way, it's anyone's guess

[Rellik]

I believe that 2.5" pipes will loose too much back pressure and will hurt you more than it will help you. Just warning ya. :|
