Default v8 exhaust on 1994 Mustang v6?

would it work to take a stock v8 exhaust and put it onto a 94 v6?? or would it not be worth the trouble....

Yes, it would work fine....Actually the cheapest way to go if you want duals.

it should work, but then you're looking at wear (if its a high mileage V8) and a more restrictive system than putting on some cat-back duals...

No, actually the OEM is not at all restrictive for a 3.8L . .

so it wouldnt make much of a difference if i used a new aftermarket one or a v8 one when it comes to restriction......now about the difficulty level....how much cutting and welding would be involved in both of those applications...aftermarket exhaust and a v8 one?.....plus cost is a major factor....and would there even be a small gain in HP if i used the v8 one like there would be with the aftermarket exhaust?

Basically, the fastest way is to cut the old one at the axle & unbolt it, loop the new ones over teh axle attach the adapter (you can get one at Summitt Racing) to the cat pipe, attach the GT pipes, shim the rear so it clear the bumper cover & you're done.

As long as the tubing is mandrel bent, the car doesn't care. the only preference is to sound -not performance. You'll get pretty much the same performance no matter which you choose.
