V6 exhaust

[mustangsally1]

hey guys i have a question i have put gt cats to x pipe on my v6 would i then be able to get gt exhaust systems???

If you are saying that you have a GT x pipe set up, then yeah you should. You'll need the hangers and a GT bumper though.

yea i have all of that i just needed to know if it was possible thank you

 

[1990_LX]

Just about anything is possible with enough money!

wait, what year?

the GT midpipe wont fit on 96-04 V6's without modifications. they will fit on 94-95 cars with a little tweaking(ColdCougar used my old one on his). the catbacks fit without a problem.

i have an 07

I do notice you said GT cats, if I'm not mistaken though, the exhause size is larger on the GT then V6, so if you want to connect a GT catted x-pipe to V6 headers they might not fit properly but like 1990_LX said "Just about anything is possible with enough money!"

Please keep us posted, dual exhaust is one thing I've been toying with for awhile on my 07 V6 and still cann't commit to a setup .

ive also been looking at other options such as the pypes tru dual exhaust but ive read reviews and they either said it was amazing or it was bad and the drone was way to loud on the highway, i mean i love loud exhaust but if its to loud the ride wont be pleasant

4.0L Y pipe is 2.25" in and 2.5" out. 4.6L H pipe is 2.5" in and out.
It won't bolt up, you'll have to cut the Y pipe after the cats and use an after mkt conversion.
Or cut and weld the gt H pipe.
As for the rest of the exhaust, it's identical and will bolt right up.

ok thank you for the advice sal i think all of that is to much work i think im just goning to get the pypes conversion kit

 

[sal jc]

The kit should be easier.. here's some pics, notice the welds for the gt H pipe.
The stock muffler really restricts the motor so it has to go, but changing to a dual is pretty much for looks only and doesn't do much more, I didn't bother to do it on my '10, just changed the muffler (See that here > http://www.listangs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=46387 ).

@Sal JC, gotta say that looks really nice and clean.

I know it's pricey, but really like the Ford Racing V6 Dual Exhaust kit there's just something about it that draws me to it. Anyone have that or heard it, I know its off the '08 Bullit but that was a V8, this is a V6.

 

[Y HELLO]

I went with the Pypes system, took me about 3 hours, by myself. Now can use ant muffler a gt can.

 

[sal jc]

Yeah the Ford Racing V6 Dual Exhaust kit is good, pretty much the same thing. didn't exist in '06, prob much easier since it all bolts up, after u cut the Y.

 

[mustangsally1]

@y hello how do u like the system ive heard many mixed feelings about it whats your input???

I have that on my car ... Its pretty good as far as i am concerned here is a video about 4 days after I installed it and the sound isn't as deep as it is now.
