Hello all,

I just purchased my first Mustang (2008 V6). I'm thinking about changing the muffler to a less restrictive one. Can anyone tell me if this will void the warranty. Do I have to take it to the dealer to have it installed? Thanks for any advice.

If you can put the exhaust on yourself youdll save a few bucks. If not just hit up your local muffler shops.They can do it relatively cheap and it shouldnt take more than and hour or so depending on the set up. Dont take it to the stealership unless you like giving money away. It shouldnt void anything warranty wise.

The only thing that will be voided is the muffler warranty.

best muffler for less cost is a GT takeoff. shouldnt void anything...easy to put on,and cheap ti bu on ebay or newtakeoffs.com

When I go to the GT Takeoff website the only thing that comes up is two mufflers for a GT model and I have a V6. Will one of those work on my car. It is a great price. Thanks for your advice.

[mrjimmy]

the GT muffler is a dierect fit,shouldnt be any problem. Ebay might have just one worth looking at there also

Jimmy,

I've heard a lot about tuning here. Is there any tuning taht has to be done after this muffler replacement, or can I just have it installed and go? Please forgive my "newbie-ness"

no tuning necessary,just bolt up and go.

[mrjimmy]

no tuning required with the muffler.
I purchased a set when I went to duals. I cant remeber if there is a right side and left side with the mufflers. Once you get em you can always sell the other one.

I went with JBA shorty headers,cat bac duals without doing the tune,no problem

You usually have to buy both left and right. I just replaced my stock V6 muffler with the right GT muffler and it was a great change. The left one is sitting in my basement for now. Easy to do in your garage without even jacking the car up.

Does the GT Takeoffs give you more power and less restriction than stock?

They're not TOO loud are they. I dont want to piss off my neighbors or not be able to hear my stereo.

[xchris]

they are exactly what your looking for, they arent all that loud and they are alot less restrictive, if anything they might not be loud enough for you

[mrjimmy]

cant put a finger on it but the car just feels quicker,easier revving.

[Sean]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the good advice (and patience). I think I'll go with the takeoffs as advised. Take care.

Let us know how it turned out
