Steeda also has a true dual exhaust for the V6, but I don't know if it is any good, or if it will even work without messing with the bumper. Which really sucks, because I want it BAD. Here it is: Right here.
If that doesn't work, on Mustang Tuning.com, its the top left hand exhaust for the V6 Stangs. Does anyone know anything about these? Will they work with the stock bumper on an '04 Mustang?

*Also, MustangTuning.com sells dual exhaust adapters for around $100. I think that would both perform and look better than sawing and welding a set of GT duals onto the car.

So i got some true dual a while ago and well...im definitely not a fan of the tips...they too small haha so would it harm anything if i were to go bigger? im not sure exactly how big they are...maybe 2 inches? 2.5? i dunno but would going a little bigger like say a 3 screw up the flow or the sound or anything?

Haha, I just don't know where to find one! And even then, its gonna cost MORE. Oh well, do it right or don't do it at all. Anyways, does anyone know where I could get a 99-04 Mustang GT bumper in silver?

I was just wondering if anyone knows about Steeda cat back exhaust systems. I have a friend who is looking at buying the stainless steel cat back system and I was just trying to get some information about it. Is Steeda a good brand to go with? Does it last and is it a quality product? He is going to spend around $600 dollars on it, . . . is it worth it?

600 bucks for just the catback or the total exhaust system? Id say its not bad if it includes the catback mid pipes and maybe back to some tailpipes, or with tips...
the stock exhaust is 2.25'' if u have that still id prolly get the 2.5'' tips..3'' i guess wouldnt be that bad either tho..Ive never heard steeda before though...

+1 on finding a bumper at the local junkyards....but dont get one that says MUSTANG GT,and be a wanna be gt,lol...

Hey guys I'm looking at buying a Mac cat back system from www.partshopper.com. In the item description it doesn’t say if the hangers needed for the passenger side are included. Can anyone who's ordered a dual exhaust system tell me if it comes with the hangers, or do I have to buy them separate? Wouldn't want to order the system, and hangers, then have extra.

Thanks

Chris

I'm not sure on how true this is, but I've read, more than once on here I might add, by more than one person, that macs have a severly bad problem about rusting, so you may want to investigate that, and no it wound come with a hanger for the passenger side, just bring it to a shop and let them install it, one it will save you tons of time and energy and the possibility that you could screw up and two, you know it's going to be don right, and I'm hoping that's a V8 cat back system you're looking at because if its a V6 cat back then I hope you like the sound of rice first thing in the morning because that's exactly what you'll sound like, a big loud RICER.

Ok after reading all these posts on exhaust, I think I figured out what I wanna do, so here it is... Btw I have a 95... So I go with a complete true duals, from the manifold back, w/ 2 Catco free flow cats, into (haven't decided on the muffs yet), exiting the rear w/ Chrome Tips. So at least I've decided on that much. Summit has Turbo Mufflers for cheap that suposedly sound "powerful" and "flow much better than the leading brand". Ok whatever on that one. But anyway, hows that sound so far?

It will look, and sound good but It will not sound like a GT if thats what you are after. Also you have 6(i think) cats which will muffle your sound.

i'm not really after a particular sound, just better than stock, and NOT ricey. Loud isn't nessisarily what i'm after, just throaty. hopefully that will work. as for the 6 cats, hopefully it'll only have 2 when i'm done,..but i don't know exactly what to expect till it's lifted. i may go w/ the magnaflow, or the flowmaster or the dynomax. narrowed down to those three, except i've heard good things about the Summits, (that i mentioned above) but not on a V6, so i don't know if i wanna get them or not.
