Dude if you think you got 20 hp, then you're sadly mistaken. You may of gained a maximum of 8 hp, hell GTs only gain 15 or so hp with a really good aftermarket system. Oh, yea, your idea is OK, but my thing is if you're gonna do it, then do it right, x and h pipes do nothing for hp on a V6 but they can drastically modify the sound of your car. Also, there are many more muffler brands out there, some way better than Flows, so don't limit your reccommendations to just one idea or brand, instead you need to learn to offer all ideas availible and let the person doing the mod make up their own mind.

Yea, maybe 17 hp with all of your other mods, but point is, unless you're s/c or t/c, you will not gain any more than 8-10 hp, "AT BEST" with dual exhaust, period. Like I said, GTs only gain 15 hp "AT BEST" but they adverage about 12 hp. I respect your post, but remember, not everybody wants a loud sound, hell, in most cases, loud=rice on n/a v6s, not saying you're rice, but a lot of people just want load, run out there, get the wrong exhaust set up, and then sit back and wonder, what the hell was I thinking. All I'm saying is watch how you reccommend set ups, that's all.

30 hp, you better go set that thing on a dyno and prove it as the pulleys would of freed up about 8 hp at best, the cai, maybe 3 at best, the exhaust 8 at best, the headers, maybe 2 at best for a grand totall of 21 hp "AT BEST" i'd bet around 15 hp.

Im new to the forums and just happen to find then thread when looking for help on mustang exhaust; imagine my luck. :) I ordered the Pypes SFM53 system for my 95 mustang 3.8 per their recommendation and they told me it would fit without trouble; however during installation I noticed that the hangers on the tips seem to be in the wrong direction without any way to mount the hanger supports and there is a hydraulic line that goes from mid passanger side axel to chassis and it appears to rub on the passanger exhaust pipe bend which makes me nervous. Has anyone heard of these problems or happens to know if there is modifications required for the the aforementioned hydraulic line?
Thanks for the help as I am currently stuck without a car. :(

So I tore out the MAC system, was pissin me off too much. Went to the local muffler shop, had them rip out everything from the headers on back, throw away the CATs, toss in a custom offroad xpipe, some magnaflow mufflers, and I'm set. Absolutely LOVE it. It's got a great low rumble below 3k and after that, it gets LOUD. Not ricey really, just freakin ballsy.
My dad drives a 98 LS1 Vette with a Borla system thrown on; for the record, there's just no replacement for displacement. His car sounds like a fricken thunderstorm at idle. People gotta understand that our "little" 6-bangers wont magically sound good if you don't dump some cash into it; and even still, there's a limit to be reached.
Honestly, I'm in love with my setup. It's perfect for me. But don't make the mistake by going cheap and having it done incorrectly, either!
