Is anyone running this exhaust set up for their 2011 V6?

I've been watching videos on Youtube and I think this set up is the only one so far for the 2011 V6 that provides a deep muscular type sound instead of a soup'd up V6 rice sound that most make.


I just wanted to see if anyone on here was running this setup and if they had any pro's/con's about it.

Thanks.

any link to the youtube videos?

I do think that they are a bit expensive though.

i only seen one video and that was from a guy in swiss land.
it sounded good , but it was inside and had a lot of echo.

However that's pushing 700$

it probably sounds like a throathy v6 at best. i'd wait for more clips or bite the bullet and get it.

i just ordered flowmasters , 380$ shipped to my door. not loud, deep enough.

I'll find out in a week when I get em.

I plan to do a before and after since no one has one.

I kind of have to chuckle at the comments I read on how these cars should sound. It seems most don`t want them to sound like what they really are.

The "ricer" sound most complain about is mostly from high rpm 4 cylinder cars.

A v6 operating at high rpms and putting out the kind of power these cars have will not sound like anything but what it is. Put these up in the 4-7k range and that`s what they will sound like. Changing that sound just doesn`t make sense, unless you are ashamed of what you are driving and don`t want anyone to know about it.

The tone at idle and under mild acceleration can be very low and hard to id from a v8 but under hard, high reving acceleration these v6`s have their own sound and I love it.

I like the low range sound at low rpm crusing as long as it doesn`t drone in the car. Some sound clips show that is possible with a bit more sound than stock. I`ll probably add ab mufflers to my 6`er but I won`t expect the 4-7 rpm range to sound anything like but what it is, a great new Mustang 3.7 305hp V6!

Hear, hear. Anyone remember the Ferrari Dino, built by Il Commendatore to honor his son who died of muscular dystrophy? It was a V6, and we kids who correctly laughed at British 4-cylinder sports cars knew it was a V6 not to be laughed at. We had one show up in Utica, NY, in 1969 and it sounded like a V12 - as we do.

In our day, those same 4-cylinder sports cars often had straight-through mufflers since the ones they came with would rust through after 2 seasons - and they sounded exACTly like ricers at half-frequency (since their crummy pushrod valvetrains wouldn't rev past 5000).

Also, don't conflate the burble on let-off from chambered mufflers with "V8" sound....

what we need is a super charger that will whine so loud, everyone will ignore exhaust sound and say, what the hell do you have under that hood lol

I don't want a V8/GT sound, I just want something a little deeper than what the stock mufflers put out. So don't go all psychologist on me, bro. I love the sound of my V6 and I would never be ashamed of it in any way. My V6 looks better than most GT's I see out on the road, and that isn't anything to be sad about.

This is the type of set up I want on my 2011 V6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oPpD1vE3ek

That car in the video is a 2010 V6, that FRPP exhaust and X-Pipe set up on a 2011 V6 should sound around the same too, right?

cheers to that
