My dad's friend has a garage and he tossed on my MAC true dual setup. I love how it sounds, absolutely love it. For the price and what I'm doing, it's the perfect sound and setup. MAC just makes solid stuff.

Ok I'll be getting exhaust for my 2000 6'er soon. Now putting aside the performance gains would a y pipe with flow 40's give me better sound then say true duals with an h or x pipe? My brothers 98 firebird had y pipe duals and it sounded excelent, nice low growl not very ricey at high rpm's. Any suggestions guys?
True duals will always sound better. Even though two cylinders fire at the same time on a V6, true duals kind of give you stereo exhaust for lack of a better word. I have true duals without an H or X pipe. To be honest, my friend has my set up with an H pipe and mine sounds way cooler. I've never heard an X pipe in person on a V6 yet.

is it possible to just swap mufflers with a flowmaster 40 series and use the same pipes i have with the single exhuast and thats it?
Yes, no problem. Alot of people do it that way because you can go to Pep Boys and get a Flowmaster 40 and an installation kit for around 150 bux total and cut your old muff out with a hack saw and clamp up your new Flowmaster muff. When I was growing up, we did it all the time. It's not the best way, but it's better then stock.

Ok Booze. I'm half way to L.A. I can be there tomorrow if you want to hear it in person!
wasnt it to ask questions about exhaust? "Ask your exhaust questions or add your opinions and knowledge about exhaust systems here" I dont hear about Y pipes that often im just wondering if they sound is any better or any worse then "true duals" thats all

I give up. We put this sticky up for a reason......
Thats because the y pipe comes stock on the V6's single exhaust. Our goal is to get rid of the y pipe, as it doesnt sound good at all

I forgot to ask you guys a question... since im getting the offroad x-pipe with the pypes exhaust package, do you think the loudness will get old and annoying after a while, or it justs adds that touch on the car that never goes away.. sorry if that was confusing.

oh ok booze, thats cool. as a mustang owner, of course i want whats best for my car. if i had the dough i would def get a TRUE setup...throw soime GT take offs, get a flow 40 series muffler and have a true setup. but being a college kid (esp with christmas and me transferring schools soon), im poor, and anything is better than stock. so while it may not be the best setup, unfortunately, it may be all i can do for now

Ok, gentlemen don't beat me up too bad. I have an 05' yellow mustang bought it in Feb. at the time i put a flowmaster on it. Back then don't know of any other options. I am going to put a Xenon rear panel/ facia on it with dual exhaust cut-outs. Here comes the stupid question what would be the best system for this? Please be sepicfic, is the a complete off the shelf system for this?

since this is the exhaust sticky, i was gonnaask what do yall think it would sound if i cut my 98 stock exhaust off right before the cats? i mean im gonna get a new exhaust within um maybe a month or two but i think my cats might be clogged up and i just want to cut them off but not if its gonna sound like a nasty horrible sound...i know it will be pretty loud but as long as its somewhat smooth sounding it will be ok...and i do alot of highway travel,no heavy city traffic areas...just wondering if anyones done it or if any1 knew what it would sound like thanks
also id more than likely be using a hacksaw if it matters

nice...im going to do it tomorrow....if it sounds like **** ill just unbolt it from the headers cuz it had a nice deep (cobra-like haha) sound when it had no exhaust when i bought it.....ill let ya know if its a bad idea
yeah um,sound straight off the headers was loud and annoying but i put stock pipe-no longer a y,i cut it to make ready for a True dual exhaust...its sound nice right now (really deep) just doesnt look that good..saying it stops about 3 or 4 feet from where its bolted to the headers...but a couple straight pipes,nice muffler,and some good tips and i think it will sound and Look really good....i dont know when im going to do that tho,call a couple shops,get some quotes maybe do it this weekend....but yeah sound off headers=annoying rattling loud noise,not very good,lol.....but id recommend taking the stock y off and cutting it to make ready for true dual exhaust.
also tightdogal, if u want some dual exhaust without paying much do what i kinda did,except get a sawzall,power saw, to cut off the old exhaust....cut ur y right after the cats,buy 2 cheap mufflers online or get some from a shop,and have a shop run some lead pipes to the mufflers and then finish the pipe after the muffler to the tail pipe....lowest quote I got to just do the piping to my mufflers was about 150....with 80-100 for 2 mufflers online, thats about 250 for true dual exhaust that will have some excellent mufflers and sound great.....decently cheap
I dont know what they charge to do a single in,dual out,meaning keeping ur y pipe but running it to dual exhaust....id check that out too, just call a couple local places and see what they wanna charge
