For starters looking to get into exhaust here you go.
You best and cheapest bet is to get GT Takeoff exhaust kit. This means the GT's have the dual exhaust and usually swap out for a COMPLETELY new kit say from Magnaflow, Flowmaster etc...so they take off their dual exhaust kit (True Dual exhaust meaning the pipes run completely apart from each other). You buy that kit and cut off your Ypipe and run pipes straight back to line up with the GT exhaust you got. Weld them on, hang the exhaust and you have yourself truel dual exhaust on your V6.
Another reason the GT Takeoff exhaust is so great is b/c it has the 2 1/4" piping all the way through. For a stock to semi bolted on application this is what you will most benefit from. If you go any bigger with minor mods you will actually be LOSING more power than you will be gaining...which would almost be a waste of money. Don't go any bigger, say like 2 1/2" piping UNLESS you KNOW you will be beefing up the engine heavily and/or adding a blower.
After you have the GT takeoff exhaust you can then swap out the stock ford mufflers to ANY muffler that you can possible want!
Which is best for my application you ask? Well that is ultimately up to you...it is the drivers choice. Here are MY personal opinions on some mufflers I have heard.
MAC: has a very deep tone and nice up to about 3k rpms...then it gets ricey
FLOWMASTER: good deep tone, has a drone at about 2500rpms and sounds a bit better up top then MACs
MAGNAFLOW: if you want loud, these are loud, they are what I like to call SCREAMERS...not as deep and mellow but LOUD
bassani and borla are basically the most expensive ones but for reasons, they are SS and will last you longer than your car will:
BORLA: Personally I have these with side exhaust and they are amazing...they are deep, mellow and sound very mean. AT about 4k rpms they do get somewhat "v6 sounding" but not ricey
BASSANI: great low and mellow tone. They are not the AGGRESSIVE ones on the v6 as they are the v8 bc of our cylinders..but they are top quality, sound nice throughout the RPMS and will last you forever. THey are a low aggresive sound....but the only way I can describe the sound to you ....they SOUND like quality mufflers (none of that raspy, bad rumble etc)
STICK INFO HERE! :)

you also have to decide on what kind of system you want. side exit, turn-downs, or rear exit.
side exit has to be used with specially designed mufflers or no mufflers at all. spintech makes the best side exit for mild v6s with 2 1/4 inch pipes and deep soundind mufflers. Borla makes a killer side exhaust kit, but it is pricey. www.x-pipe.com has mufflerless side exit kits that will hook up to an h- or x-pipe. these kits are really loud at WOT and will get lots of attention, the good and the bad kind. it is also the lightest exhaust kit on the market for mustangs. if you want a loud side exit kit that also looks good, go with this one
turn-downs just dump the exhaust before the rear axle, and the sound echoes underneath the car. this is the loudest setup but can drive you nuts because it will shake everything in the car.
rear exit is where the stock exhaust exits, this is the quietest system IMO. most kits are rear exit. Magnaflow, Pypes, Borla, Bassani and flowmaster are all rear exit kits.
all you have to do is decide which is best for you and what you like.

I have the Magnaflows on my V6 and I love the way it sounds. It has a really nice tone and it can get loud once you start climbing up in RPM's.

I think the Pypes header-back system (w/ x-pipe) is the best for the money! They sound awesome too!!

Nope, no cross over pipe. It would have only been 500.00, but I didn't like my tips after about a week, and I went and bought some 16"X3" tips for $100.00 and had him cut off the Magnaflow tips and weld up my new ones.
