Does anyone have any reviews/comments on aftermarket axle back exhausts for the V6? Magnaflow, JBA, others? Looking to hear what you think of the sound and any performance gains you had.

thanks!

I really like my single GT take-off axle-back muffler. Much deeper and a bit louder than stock. Seemed to give a slight boost in performance, though no dyno to back that up. This is a very inexpensive upgrade through Mike at http://crashparts.cascocompany.net/

Here's a sound clip...

The exhaust really opened up after I added JBA shorty headers...much louder and meaner over just the GT muffler... very noticeable increase in hp/tq and quicker revs. A really nice sounding single exhaust that's makin' the 4.0L feel much more like a muscle car... I'm not missing duals with this setup (don't want to replace or cut my bumper anyways).

Yup... I know... it's never gonna sound like a V8... but, it sounds like a very spiffy V6!

Got a decent deal at http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/

The clip really doesn't do it justice...

I'm still interested in Magnaflow's axle-back. I think they got the tip looking perfectly. But, the sound clips on their website sound a bit much like an import to my ears. Steeda is using the Magnaflow on their 05 V6 for the performance boost/sound. Maybe I just haven't heard a decent clip. I wonder what it would sound like with the JBA headers... hmm...

I found a post on a different forum about using a Flowmaster 40 muffler. I listened to the sound clips and I think that might be the way to go for me. Has anyone here used this set up and what do you think about it?

the only thing i had done on my 05 stang v6 was had a single flowmaster 40 s install good sound . I do however want to get a catback install .

Where did you get the Flowmaster installed and what did it cost you? I was looking on the Flowmaster website and couldn't find one listed of the Mustang. Was there special fitting work required?

Also - what do you think of it?
