gt exhaust on v6

jedwards242000 · **gt exhaust on v6**

are there any modifications you have to do to put on the gt exhaust from the cat back if so what do you have to do and is it worth it to someone who doesnt have much money but wants a little better flow and look

Just buy the gt takes offs and take them to a local muffler shop and they will put them on for you. You shouldnt have to do anything but pay them

Ditto, just tell them to cut your exhaust behind the cats, weld the take off's up, and be done with it. Install should be no more than 150, probably should be closer to 100.

should be no more than $100.

Depends on whre you are. My quote was 120, but squeezed away for 100 installed because he took 2 hours longer than he said he would because his friend showed up and wasted my time in waiting.

you can buy an adaptor to let you simply bolt the gt cat back on, the adaptor must be welded in and removes the stock Y pipe, this is the best way to go since you can remove the cat back when you need to for what ever reason, else you will have to hack up the cat back or get a custom fabed exhaust.

FYI: dont buy chrome tips or tips larger than 3 inches.

I agree with not buying chrome tips...but my 3 inch tips look small to me. Prolly gonna change them out to 3 1/2. They're rolled edge, which makes them look smaller.

**SpectorV** · 03-25-2005, 07:43 PM

any more than 3 is to much but thats just my opinion

douGT · 03-25-2005, 08:06 PM

the Borla exhaust that i put on today has 4" rolled edge tips and i think they look awesome, bigger the better. but i think over 4" is pushin it a little to big.

You got the Stinger kit, right?

I've seen it on a kid's GT that lives here....Looks pretty badass, sounds amazing too

douGT · 03-25-2005, 09:40 PM

ya, i got the stinger kit and an x-pipe, put it all on today. it looks amazin and sounds freakin awesome. when you get around 2000 rpm, it gets really loud, my whole interior vibrates just about. its got such a nice rap to it and i can feel a pretty big difference, well worth and im lovin it

NJStang86 · 03-25-2005, 10:56 PM

If I ever get a GT, the order for one of those kits will be in the day I get the car

douGT · 03-26-2005, 10:36 AM

its so nice, you'll want to drive your car for hours if you do. ya i would get that system, i think its worth it.

TNT Bomb · **Exhaust adapter**

I agree with Spector V

Actually, I'm ordering all pieces to convert my stock exhaust for GT Takeoffs, as you want to do; the guy at the muffler shop wich is not the boss (he also owns a V6 Mustang) recommended me to take the Steeda or Pacesetter V6 exhaust adapter. According to him I will get a very good "fit" for a cheaper price than a custom made (for equivalent quality)...

Naturally, I promised him not repeating that to his boss...

He's asking me 75.00$ CAN. money (labor + OEM hangers). I supply the Takeoffs + the adapter.

Ponycarman · 03-26-2005, 11:31 PM

I bought the pacestter adapter

Not Impressed

I just have true duals, and welded it all back up. If I wanna pull it off, I'll just use a sawzall

I'd avoid huge tips if they are expanding the overall pipe size to that.
You need to maintain the overall size until the end. Big Pipe slows the
velocity, and we do not need that!

Yeh...i'm not wanting 3 1/2 inch piping all the way through the exhaust. Just 3 1/2 inch tips, about 20 inches long. I know that 3 1/2 piping won't give enough if any backpressure, therefore the engine will lose power.

RGR · 03-28-2005, 06:38 AM

TIPS are usually OK, and deepen the sound in some cases,
but I like to see consistent sizing until the very end. (tips)
I think what Spec and the boys are saying is you want to
avoid looking like you have fart cans, those generic ricers
spoil everything for the serious cars with their silliness.

I'm making a distinction between the serious import hot rodders
and the boy-racer-boy-ricer crowd, just so everyone knows!

I respect SERIOUS hot rodders no matter what the brand!

One problem with that theory. If it were true then the pipe size would need to decrease as you moved farther away from the engine. As the exhaust gasses cool they contract and to maintain velocity you'l downsize the pipe. Something no one does or recommends. Hmm, maybe a new design I can market to the rice crowd.
