Let's talk dual exhaust...
#41
I first put on a Pypes single catback muffler (forget the name of it.....I threw it in a dumpster) and my car sounded like most cars do that just strap on a "BEEHIVE" muffler for more flow........
After i got my FRPP Duals installed, I noticed increased low end torque, good sound tone, and Great looks from the back of the car.
I had the "stealership" installed it for $250.00.....because if they install Ford parts on my FORD car, the warranty covers it!
I'm COMPLETELY happy with the looks, the sound, and my low-end torque gains.
(never Dyno tested)

It doesn't make the car any faster in the qtr mile and if you don't have the GT emblems to make it look like a GT, it is still a V6 by appearance. IMO. I would take that money and invest towards a second Plasma 50 inch. IMO. Maybe look at putting a charger on it with single exhaust and almost have a GT w/o GT price trade in? I just laugh when I see a 6 cyl with dual exhaust which I think have only seen 2 in our town in 3 years. Dual exhaust on a 6 cyl........lol. I guess makes for conversation?

V6.
3 cyls per side.
2 cyl heads.
Two headers.
INTO A FRICKEN Y PIPE, FORD?
It just seems natural to send
each side out to to the back.
Now the dual 'kits' that just take
the Yed exhaust and split it with another
Y pipe is a true conversation piece.
I dont see the biggy with duals on a V6.
Now a straight six with duals is just not normal.
My V6 Challenger has the muffler midmounted
and it forms as the 'Y' Pipe and exits into a single
2.5" rearward going pipe to a axle back resonator.
if you pull the resonator, the odd firing V6 sounds
V8ish with no cash outlay. This is a situation for a 2.5"
QTP electric cut-out.
I wondered why the PYPES cat-back for S197s aboud on eBay.
"It sounds great, but I finally got duals. My loss is your gain...."

Tried the Dynomax kit and loved the sound but was a little disappointed in the fit and finish, but I wonder if the fault was mine since I installed it (I'm planning on posting more on that later). Next I tried a Pypes x-pipe and mid pipes with MAC mufflers that resonated way too much on the inside. Those immediately came off and on went FRPP GTA mufflers with the Pypes pipes. VERY nice sound, no resonance whatsoever. I think I fooled just about everyone with the GT rear bumper and pony package (I had at least 6 people try and race me). And I ran a 15.2 1/4 with my auto equipped and otherwise stock car on my one and only run, so I don't think it hurt performance.

I was looking into this Mac kit from StangMods http://www.stangmods.com/MAC-Cat-Bac...170-tk2625.htm
Would this be an epic fail because its a Y to a Y???

I just had dual Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers with a custom x-pipe installed for $400 yesterday. I like the sound. It sounds so deep at cruising speed. I feel alot of pull in the mid and higher RPMs. I think it might be the x-pipe that is giving me that extra power.

i got my dual exhaust done with two simple mufflers and creating the y pipe. The sound really is amazing and i get compliments alll the time. It cost roughly around $475 installed. Not bad! anyways, hope this helps and goodluck with your duals.

I found a good deal on a borla duel kit w/ Xpipe for roughly 1/2 price. The kit sells for $1600-$2400 depending on where you look. I found it on Jegs for $769. I know a few people that use only borla on their cars and after finding that deal I bought it. I know it is a little pricey, but I have never heard a bad setup. (If anyone is interested, they still have it at that price.) The fit is amazing, basically goes right on. The kit is tuned for performance with very similar bends to the factory pipes. The sound is great, nice deep mellow rumble at idle. The pipe/mufflers really talk when you get on it, but quiet with normal driving. I have given it a fair trial over the week that I have had it on. I have found no droning at any speed/rpm range. The mufflers come with 4" tips that really look nice with the upgraded gt bumper. I am extreamly happy with it and would recomend it to anyone willing to spend more than a couple hundred bucks on an exhaust system.
