Welcome to AFM and the forums. you can read all the info, listen to videos and get opinions, then you`ll just have to take a chance and make a guess and hope you like it. lots of different systems and lots of people are happy. i`m real happy with mine, and most people like the h pipe on the v6. its so close to running seperate sides, but that small connection is suppose to balance it out and create some depth. good luck with your choice

I just got mine done today. I had a pair of GT stock mufflers. You will need a pair of hangers for the left side. I called Ford dealer and they wanted $50 each. I bouoght the pair for $50 from AmericanMuscle.com. You will also need what's called a midpipe. this runs from the left muffler to the spot where the right and left sides joint behind the cat. Ford does not sell that separately so I had the muffler shop bend one. The shop also made a Y-pipe that comes off the cat and splits the exhaust into the two midpipes going to each muffler. Shop work today cost me $175 and they cut out the left side of the rear bumper cover so the pipe would clear. I cannot say I can hear much difference but it now looks balanced. It does NOT sound like a V-8.
Good luck with your project.

My friend had this done and what they did was just take off a GT H pipe and midpipe and just add the system on after that. It isnt that costly any shop would be able to do it and its pretty quick. When I had my V6 i put on a completely new cat back exhaust in under 3 hrs. So a paid pro with better tools and lifts will have it done really fast and done right.

Would an x-pipe work on a v6? If i can get GT take off midpipes then could I use any GT x-pipe on my car?
