I'm in complete agreement with you scrming - I figure if we start running duals then not only are people disappointed by the lack of V8 noise but then people expect us to have the pulling power of the V8's too. It was just the other day when a Vette was all over me looking for a challenge and I have a single! So I figure the duals would be even more hassle - I can't beat a V8 so why try to imitate the look of one? At least with the single we can surprise people with a little tinkering here and there!

There are alot of V6 cars with duals..and V8s with singles (trucks and SUVs) But i do think that the 4.0 should come with duals I mean a V6 Hundai does are we to be worst of......

Mine is not to get the v8 look I like the way it looks w/duals. Racing a vette would have only been a hassle if you were looking for a race to get into duals would not have increased you chances of you pressing on the pedal to help incourage the vette to race

One of the things I love about GT's are the dual exhaust. I would never go so far as to put GT emblems on my V6 (anyone who does that deserves a good antenna lashing). But, I don't think GT dual exhaust is a bad thing at all.

every dumbass will see the duals and not notice the badges and think ure an 8, making ricers afraid to race you and cars that do will make you push harder from the stop light, im ganna have a custom 3.5" single cat-back setup soon enough

i gotta vote for the duals. i just got t a pair of gt mufflers off ebay for $50 bucks. Single Passenger goin on next week, possibly custom H middle next month. But i like the even look of a dual, whether its a 8 or a 6. Sound is also a plus. i look at the backend and it looks off to me with a single exhaust. i just feel a dual would be a better look. As long as you keep the stock 6er emblems i think its ok. if you but gt emblems just cause you you have dual.....+1 on the antenna lashing

And if other V6's drive off a bridge would you drive off too? LOL!
There is no real performance advantage to putting duals on our 4.0L's when they are NA. Traditionally V6 Mustangs have been single exhausts. Early V8 Mustangs actually came with either dual or SINGLE exhausts. If you like the looks of duals.. that's fine... but that is really the only reason to put them on... so to answer the OP question, no it won't hurt.. but then again it really won't help either...
While duals don't mean GT, a single screams V6.... LOL!
lol we have enough displacement to make power off the headers alone with no exhaust system lol
Yea, pretty much what I was trying to say LOL
Some of you guys crack me up...larger diameter pipe (too large) will slow the velocity down of the exhaust system and make the system inefficient at scavanging. Meaning it won't keep the exhaust leaving the combustion chamber at the same speed (velocity) thus not allowing as much of the exhaust to be well...exhausted out of the combustion chamber to allow more air and fuel in the next cycle.
This is offset at Higher RPM and when the car is in motion.
That's also why LONGtube headers work better than shorties. The longtube headers retain heat better and thus increase the velocity of the exhaust gasses better than shorties.
I did'nt get larger pipe just the standard size when I got my duals. No problems at all. Tom

you are a 100% correct,but you must realize, we can run off the headers and still make some ponies.. we have 2L displacemtn making up 3 cylnders. exiting one 2 1/2 inch diameter hole.. its still bottle necking..
of course if you were cammed, lift and duration alone running off the headers would then promote better power off the headers..
NA the scanvenging effect is wanted for economy and efficientcy , but when looking for performance scavenging gets in the way..ESPECIALLY when your force induced
