2.5 or 3 inch exhaust?
http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/exhaust.htm
I am looking at the MAC exhaust system for my v6. I want to get the 3 inch pipe but I dont want it to be too big so there is no resistance. How much louder would this exhaust be than the stock exhaust. I want the exhaust to RUMBLE.

RE: 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust?
Id go 2.5. Honestly half the people that have plans to put enough mods on there sixer to need 3 inch pipping dont ever get around to building up the sixer before they get a gt or cobra or even diff car. Id go 2.5 and if you do end up going f/i and having some heavy internal work then i would change to a 3, but for now stick to the 2.5.
EDIT: also you dont need an x pipe or h pipe or any of that **** really, i bougth the 2.5 y pipe true fit catback form macperformance.com and its sounds awesome. Deep grumble, not to loud inside (can hold a conversation), and turns lots of heads even just cruising. Well worth the money and best bang for the buck if i had to do it over again id get the same exact system.

um, for a stock 3.8, you will loose torque by switching to true duels, a freind of mine has done dyno runs before and after to prove this
