Looking For Exhaust For A 2004 Mustang Convertible V6, Suggestions?
hey everyone! im new to the site and i need some help finding an exhaust. i bought my first mustang a year and a half ago. i have a 2004 v6. i know i won't be able to get the same sound of a v8 but i would like it to sound as close to it as possible. can someone please help me?
hey before you take off and go to the v6 part... remember that most people here will be able to help you regardless because you do have a ford... so let me give you some advice... find a shop that will fabricate a "true duel" exhaust on your 6 with a good set of mufflers and some 3.5" tips.. it will sound pretty mean dude
you might even be able to find a custom mid pipe on the web, like an x or h, if you can do that... it will sound pretty sick trust me people will be a little confused as to how many cylinders you have under your hood. my bro had a stroker 6 4.2 motor and had all that done. it sounded hellza good man. well i hope that helped
speaking of exhaust, i had a question about what the difference is between a X pipe, H pipe, and straight pipes. correct me if im wrong but i believe the X pipe leans more toward the hp band, the H leans more toward the torque band, and i have no idea what the straights lean towards. please tell me if thats right and what the straight pipes do. which one would u guys recommend. also i heard the because of our firing order we dont need an H pipe and straight duals will work fine. true?

Straight duals work fine, but whether or not a crossover makes more power is open for controversy. One for the ages.
Personally, I think it will help on the 3-4 6-1 firing, and dynos show a slight increase, but it's within variance. It's more of a sound preference than anything.

Do y'all like having the police following you around all the time, waiting for a mistake?
I still don't know how the harley owners get away with it . . .
Spintechs are pretty loud, but it's gonna depend on your muffler more than anything.
Just pick up the shortest you can find.

well honestly, i have seen numerous amounts of graphs and sheets showing how an x pipe yields more power overall. they sounds better as well. trust me i have had both on my car and i didnt like the h. as far as the tone and "loud factor" goes, get a straight through muffler. like the magnapacks or the slp ones that are the similar design. it will sound good trust me. but it wont be bad enough to where you will have cops following you around everywhere. i have a v8 and i have never been pulled over for my exhaust being too loud... and trust me might s**t is loud haha. here is a clip if you want to hear it http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...f200327d8f.htm
do the x with a good set of mufflers and tips yours will sound awesome even with a 6 cyl
