v6 exhaust?
 

What exhausr sounds good on 3.8 mustangs? Mine is already dualed out just debating on what mufflers to put on.

Stock

just get on of these and get you a speaker in your grill like the dunks do. It will sound way better than a 3.8 with exhaust.

Are you kidding this again!!

Runnin 40 series flows on mine. Dual exhaust no H, no cats. Sounds like a V8.
I have been told..

LOL. I told him the same thing at work.

Anywho, I have heard that Dynomax sounds good on a V6.

aftermarket muffler on the v6 will sound good at idle but once you give it a little gas the beehive sound starts. I would just leave it alone you already have 05 gt mufflers on there.

I agree here, and please god dont take the cats out if you do any kind of performance muffler. Ask Greg how his car sounded with the Mac mufflers and I want to say it had a Mac Prochamber...sounded like straight ass. My friend has 40s with no cats and it sounds ok at low rpms and idle, but geeezus christmas it sounds like poop under high rpms, or hard acceleration

So take th cats out? What all would that effect?

Leave it alone. Add two more cylinders then worry about how your exhaust sounds/performs.

Or... Just drive it and be glad that you are a 17 year old kid with a Mustang of any sort.

ding!

Wow! remove this thread.

i wish i was 17 with a sports car. feel good bud

If I were you Id do some shorty headers with dumps.

What are dumps?

Piece of pipe turned down towards the ground underneath a car usually off a muffler.

IMO, leave it alone. You will wish you didn't change them out on your car. The firing order will make it sound like ass.

What I would do to your car is
Lower it
Wheels
Tint
stereo
CAI
Pullies
4.10's
75 shot nitrous and leave it alone.

Than later maybe do another OEM stock hood (gt, cobra, etc) and front bumper. But other than that NOTHING. As to make LOTS Of power you will have some money in it big time.

Unless of course you find some guys who can know turbos and you can have a DIY turbo kit at an affordable rate and tune it. But on a reality note, drop, wheels , stereo and tint and pick up the girlies and keep it reliable until you progress in life than go from there. But right now, just make it look clean and cruise it. Without GT or cobra badges of course.

Leave the exhaust stock. No matter what you do, it's going to sound like crap.

+1

What's the point?

Anybody ever try an X-pipe on a V-6? They do seem to blend the exhaust pulses together on V-8s for less of a distinct rumble. Maybe what a V-6 exhaust needs is something of this order to "fill in the gaps" of the missing 2 cylinders.

You mean a FORD v6. I know of gm's mostly any muffler (besides glasspacks, flowmaster 40 series and cherry bombs) dont sound bad. I believe it is the firing order on the car in question is why anything will sound like crap. Just like the way you can tell the difference between a stock. 5.0 with flowmasters and a stock 4.6 with same muffler also.

But gerald, you might be right , that may help it out some.

no, it will still sound like ass. Greg has a prochamber on his I think, and it sounded like straight shit. If you leave the cats on, it wont be too terrible.

Does not matter what the firing order is or the manufacturer. V6's sound like crap, period. I've heard many of them, different makes, and they all sound terrible.
I love Buick GN's, but if I had one I'd make it as quiet as possible b/c they sound like crap too.
Some sound OK while idling, almost like a V8, but as soon as you crack the throttle there is no mistaking how many holes are firing.

I don't know. The V6 in the GT1 car sounds pretty killer. Of course it is breathing through equal length long tubes and a 5" straight through muffler turned down under the car. Loud as ballz inside the car, though. Still sounds sweet at 7500-8500 revs.

Hal's comment on GM V-6 exhaust systems sounding decent just gave me an idea. Most of the V-6 GM cars I have noticed run a Y pipe up front with a single feed into one muffler, and dual out the tailpipes from there.

Try this out. Up front use a Flowmaster 2 into 1 collector to form your Y-pipe up front. The Flowmaster 2 into 1 collector has a 3" outlet. Run a single 3" pipe from there into a single 3" muffler of your choice. One 3" pipe flows just about as good as dual 2-1/4" pipes, as the total cross sectional area is nearly the same. Dual it out AFTER the muffler to keep your dual look at the rear of the car.

Way back when I had my supercharged 5.0 1993 F150 longbed, this was how I ran the exhaust. It ended up sounding identical to a 5.0 mustang. All the other longbed trucks at the time with a 5.0 Mustang powerplant with true duals did not sound near as good as the same motor would in a Fox body. After my truck's big single exhaust sound came out identical in sound to a true dual Fox body 5.0, a bunch of us came to the conclusion that the reason why truck true dual systems always sounded different was due to the longer run of pipe.

I believe your best bet is to run both sides of your engine into a single muffler and dual out from there.

With a v6? I think a turbo sounds the best.
