Exhaust - 7/24/2006 8:29:28 PM    mdlesk Posts: 703 Joined: 7/22/2006 From: Columbus, OH Status: offline Okay, i'm finally taking the leap and getting an exhaust. Should I just stay single or go dual. I don't mind cutting the bumper or cost. I just want a really good sound, don't really care about performance either, naturally i don't wanna lose any though. What does everyone think. Right now i'm pretty much sold on JBA with H-Pipe. Anyone think i should go with a different setup? _____________________________ Post #: 1

RE: Exhaust - 7/24/2006 9:03:54 PM    NewStangDude   Posts: 100 Joined: 5/18/2006 Status: offline I bought a pair of GT takeoffs off of e-bay and installed the single with the idea of adding the second within a week or so. I ended up sticking with the single since I liked the sound, performance and mpg improvements. Not mind boggling improvements, but improvements none the less. For me, the cost was not worth the expected HP gains (2-3 HP). Plus I like the idea of my car looking, performing and sounding like a 6, not an 8. The duals definantly look better and sound better, but for me the cost vs. gain factor wasn't worth it. Just my 2 cents. It's really a personal preference. _____________________________ NewStangDude 06 Performance White Mustang Pony package (no stripe), modified GT air intake with K&N filter, X-Cal 2, dual GT takeoffs with H-pipe...One Trick Pony!

I'm going to order the JBA Duals with H-Pipe this week; however, I am going to hold off on the jba headers for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have experience with the JBA Shorties? _____________________________ (in reply to Furinox) Post #: 4

I like the sound and the car performs well, with the addition of a K&N air filter (drop-in). _____________________________ Dave L Williamsburg, VA 2008 DEEP CANDY RED PONY PACKAGE CONVERTIBLE, V-6.

RE: Exhaust - 7/24/2006 11:11:57 PM    orion6g   Posts: 240 Joined: 6/28/2005 Status: offline I'm going to get a muffler shop to fab up a custom H-Pipe and throw in a pipe to make it dual with GT take-off mufflers. If I end up going through with my grand plans for my car I'll throw in some magnaflow dual's. I'm in it mainly so that my new GT rear bumper doesn't look gay with only one pipe.

RE: Exhaust - 7/24/2006 11:46:45 PM    Ken Rogers Posts: 485 Joined: 1/31/2006 From: Langley, BC Canada Status: offline I'm not really sure how I'll mount my second GT takeoff. A part of me wants to just hang the sucker and have a shop connect it to the mid-pipe (downstream from the existing Y) in effect, making two Y's. This way, the existing Y remains fully intact and untouched. On the other hand, would an H-pipe sound significantly better? I can't find any exhaust clips of dual GT's with a Y-pipe for comparison.
