Would I be better off buying some GT's Take off's and getting some Warlock mufflers, or just buying a Flowmaster or another brand complete set up? Which would be cheapeR? Which would sound better? Which would be best peformance wise? Thanks in advance. |

Cheapest way would be GT takeoffs and mufflers of your choice.Sound is really an opinion so im not going to say much there. Performance wise you want a straight through muffler, dynomax, magnaflow, I think warlocks are also, etc

Not a bad privce on the mufflers... Laser02 has the uncappable ones, Brent just got a set as well. try PM'ing Laser02 about how it sounds. I think he has some soundclips. Pretty average price for the take offs. Try some of the site sponsors, I know V6mustangstuff.com usually has them. What i would probably do is get the take offs on the car, then later get a different set of mufflers if you want a different sound

Ok, so wait to see if I like the sound instead of frushing and getting everything. Good idea, and that price of $149.99 + $55 Shipping is a pretty reasonable price? |

GT Take off's are exactly what they are.
They are an exhaust system that was taken off a V8 mustang, you can put it on a V6

yes and no...You dont NEED an H-pipe/Xpipe with the v6, the "H"s are put on the GT cuz they have 2 cyl firing at the same time on each bank so the crossover helps with scavanging.but with the v6 you could just have the y pipe cut and have the duals welded/ bolted on straight back with no crossover.. now ifyou plan on getting a cam, p/p heads etc...than it would be a good idea to get an h pipe.

what exhaust would you recommend that i wouldnt need to modify for the duals. I heard and believe that are cars really dont put out alot of air that a dual would sugnificantly help. |

all exhaust systems need to be modded to be put on our cars, unless you buy a whole cat back system. u can get those through EE. you could also get a mac Y pipe system but that is a tru waste of your money. i suggest you just get gt take offs and have a shop put them on, i was quoted as low as 60 bucks to put them on. good luck with the exhaust.

hes talkin about they bolt up kit. it has a y pipe that bolts to the factory y pip so you kinda end up with a >< I had the kit with the y pipe and it sounds good. really throaty, no drone. with the y pipe at the upper RPMs teh exhaust tone would die off, and just sound like air. when i put the h pipe on it it has tone through the whole RPM range sounds a little deeper too. but i really didn't notice any power increase between the y pipe and the h pipe. but i think it sounds better with the h pipe

are you talking about the GT take off or Mac? Was there good gains with the MAC at all or just no difference between y and h pipe? |

 that right there..you can pull out the red "cap" so the exhaust bypasses the tail pipes and you end up with dumps basically
