I am wanting to put BBk headers. They have ceramic ones to that cost about $60 more. is that worth the money? also i have a shop that will make straight pipes for me and put them on but they have to put the cats on. Do straight pipes sound good on a v6 mustang or is it better to go with something else? might be a stupid question but i am not very good with cars. My main question is does headers and 2.5'' straight pipes from the headers sound good or horrible?

I put Mid Mufflers with an X pipe on my 2010, and it sounds awesome! Mid mufflers are the way to go on a v6 if you gotta keep the cats! RPM outlet has a full mid muffler set by PYPES for $429, but I had JEGS price match that, because RPM outlet has a poor history.

catless v6's just don't sound good. i tried it and closed that experiment. the ceramic is worth the money especially on the 99-04's where that ac drips on the passenger side manifold and cracks em pretty easily.

well my friend has 04 v6 no headers,strait pypes with no cats, flowmasters,and ressonators ,and wow it sounds good .

BBK only sells shorties, which will bolt right up to your current exhaust.....

Not a big bang for the buck mod......

• 94-04 v6, shorties are a wast of both time and money
• Yes, straight pipes with no mufflers sound horrible, unless you're running a turbo charger
• Catless v6s don't sound horrible, you just need to right combo

who makes long headers for a v6? my other idea was putting headers with the cats on and putting a flowmaster 40?

First of all, I agree. That being said the mods I did, in order, are:

Dual exhaust, CAI, BBK Shorties.

Each one added something. The shorties added a low idle rumble that wasn't present before, and acceleration seems smoother. That being said, I probably wouldn't have spent the money on the shorties if I didn't have an exhaust manifold gasket leak and was going there anyway. But in the end, I am happy with them.
