Ok, I am looking into converting a single exhaust into a dual... Im looking to buy the adapter, and a Flowmaster American Thunder dual exhaust for my '98, but do i need an H pipe? or would the adapter ( V6 Dual Exhaust Adapter ) act as one, if not one itself for this Flowmaster (Flowmaster American Thunder). Any help or suggestions would be appriciated greatly!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and found it by searching for different exhausts to put on my stang. I've found it very helpful with tons of info. I have an '02 v6 convt. and was wanting to install a dual exhaust. I was going to order the parts myself and am stuck on one part. I was wondering what the difference between the flowmaster 40 series and the flowmaster 40 super series. I can get the regular 40 series for $59 shipped and the super series for $75 shipped, I would be willing to pay the extra but only if there was a difference in quality. Any help woudl be appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry to bother everyone lol but I acutally had another question if I was to just buy a whole kit together instead of part by part I was looking at a flowmaster kit, and in the description it states "Force II Exhaust System, Designed With Plenty Of Flowmaster Tone But With Lower Sound Levels While Cruising, " I was wondering if anyone knew just how much lower the sound was.
Okay... I'm getting an 01 Stang V6. I've been reading through this post to come up with ideas for exhaust. I know that for a v8, I would go with flowmasters.... but I'm not too sure about a v6. I don't know how they sound. Also, I've never heard a magnaflow exhaust on a v6, but I've read about them being pretty good. I know that I can't get my sixer to sound like an american muscle v8... but I want a good, deep sound. Also, it seems that most people here have done either a GT swap or the Pypes deal. I gotta question, though. I've always heard that for smaller engines (even a unmodded 302) its best to go with a 2.25" exhaust, that that you'd actually lose from 2.5". Is this correct? Well, what are my best options for my sixer's exhaust? I want true duals, but unsure about h-pipe, and whether magnaflows or flowmasters... What's the model i should get? Thanks, everyone.
If i were to get an H Pipe, to convert a single exhaust to dual exhaust, could i put a GT or cobra cat back on there? the pipes are for the same year as my car.
any body know where i can get a twin turbo kit for a 3.8 mustang and true duals to go with it im not lookin to buy immediately but im tryin to get alot of things priced so i know how much ima spendim just checkin out my options

i had planned on replacing my exhaust this spring and i accidentally ordered Flowmaster 50 Series instead of the 40 Series like i wanted. but before i send them back just wondered how different the sound would be and if there would be a loss of performances. or would i be better off just sending them back and getting the 40's
i would get the 2.5 if ur going to get a complete new exhaust system but not any bigger than that...go straight duals or x pipe with magnaflow mufflers in my opinion....and ur right,flowmasters are for a v8...
i think vmptuning.com has turbo kits for the 3.8...id check there...
Im not sure about the flowmaster mufflers so cant help there...maybe 03yellowpony can i know he has flowmasters..
also i think u need that h pipe adapter or just cut the y pipe in order to fit a gt or cobra catback system anyway...

THE EASIEST THING U COULD DO IS JUST GO TO A MUFFLER SHOP N GET A DUAL SYSTEM WITH FLOWMASTERS, 40 SERIES.... THEN TELL THEM TO CUT THE TAIL PIPE LIKE 2 OR 3 INCHES RIGHT AFTER THE FLOWMASTERS N PUT A PIPES POINTING DOWNWARDS..... THEN TELL THEM TO TAKE UR CATS OUT N PUT STR8 PIPES... NO CATS OF CORSE BUT TELL THEM TO MAKE THEM BOLT ON... NOT WELD THEM.. SO THAT WHEN U HAVE TO GO GET UR SMOG CHECK U CAN JUST TAKE OUT THE STR8 PIPES N PUT THE CATS BACK ON... I GOT A 2002 MUSTANG, V6, 5 SPEED... K&N INTAKE, BBK HEADERS, N THE SYSTEM JUST LIKE I DESBRIBED IT.... THAT'LL SOUND SO FREAKING MEAN....
Hey guys, great site here. I've got a 2001 V6 and I decided I'm putting on dual exhaust. Originally, I just wanted to get the 40 Series Flowmaster exhaust kit that comes with a Y-Pipe to the two mufflers , but after reading this sticky, I'm thinking true dual might be a better plan. I've got a few questions I hope can be (and haven't been) answered. First of all, whatever the end result, it MUST be completely street legal (i.e no x-pipes or missing cats or anything). So anyway, here are my questions:
1. Will "true dual" exhaust really sound / perform any different from the y-pipe kit listed above (or any y-pipe kit)?
2. Have any of you ever used Meineke to install your exhaust? If so, how were they, did you ge t your parts ordered through them, and how much did they charge for what you got?
3. Right now, I'm leaning towards true dual exhaust with 40 series mufflers, does a kit like that exist? I've only ever found the one listed above by Flowmaster. If not, will the exhaust shop be bale to order what I need to get that done?
MAN DO WHAT I JUST SAID ABOVE UR POST ^^^^^^^^.... THAT WILL SOUND MEAN AS HELL MAN.... U'LL GO MAKING ALARMS GO OFF... BUT IT SOUNDS GREAT.. THEN U CAN ADD A 57 SERIES INTAKE FIPK2 N SOME BBK HEADERS... THAT'LL DO IT N U'LL HAVE URSELF A NICE MUSTANG... BESIDES U'LL BE GETTING SOME HPS... I GOT MINE JUST LIKE THAT N MAN... PPL LOVE IT...
After doing some searching, I'm thinking of getting these two products for my exhaust. Can anyone tell me (who's had this or something similar done) about how much the labor should cost, so I don't get ripped off? Thanks a lot.
MAN UR JUST WASTING MONEY... JUST GO TO A SHOP N GET THEM TO PUT 40 SERIES MUFFLERS IN UR STANG N COVERT IT TO DUAL... THAT WILL COST U AROUND 400 BUCKS N ITS THE SAME... BUT IF U WANT IT TO SOUND LOUDER N GET MORE HORSE POWER THEN TELL THEM NOT TO WELD IT.. TELL THEM TO MAKE IT BOLT ON.... SO U CAN TAKE OUT THE CATS N PUT STR8 PIPES THEN WHEN U GO GET UR SMOG TEST U CAN PUT THE CATS BACK ON... IF U GET STR8 PIPES THAT'LL GIVE U SOME EASY 15 HP N A MUCH LOUDER SYSTEM..... ALL OF THAT SHOULD BE AROUND 500 BUCKS.... BUT ITS WORTH IT..

As I said above, it needs to be 100% street legal (permanently), i.e the cats need to be permanently attached.
Has anyone ever used a chain store type exhaust shop, Meineke or Midas for example? If so, how were they (quality, time, cost, etc.). I've tried in two Midas shops to talk about dual exhaust and both times, the guy started dramatically explaining how he would have to fabricate all of this and change the headers and other BS. I guess they assume (and hope) most people have no clue how much work it should *really* take.
