Default LOOK first 2010 4.0 V-6 with true duals:)

Ok I'm laying claim to this but to be honest someone may make a lair out of me since I'm really not sure i'm the first to have true duals?
I saw ford has a dual exhaust kit that you can order for the new 2010 4.0's but its not going to be available until sometime late july and includes the stock gt lower bumper.
So I think if I'm not the first with true duals, I'm pretty sure I'm the first thats cut the rear bumper to run duals and I know i'm the only one that has the vortex generators so flame away lol
and yes the first one is without duals for comparison
and yes I know the car is dirty
and yes a sound clip is forthcoming as soon as they burn in a little, the drone is minor in fact at cruise with the windows up its barely audible in steady state cruisng the same however it gets loud as soon as you get on it or it comes under load not tinny/raspy sounding at all inside/outside so far can't wait to hear it after they burn in and I get the intake/tune installed*problems with UPS losing the intake/tunner from demolet going to have to file a claim etc
and yes I know the darn tips are angled down some, I will get with the exhaust shop on heating/bending the hangers to attempt to remedy that at a later date.
For those that are curious the systems piping is from XSPOWER they make a complete bolt on dual exhaust kit for the 05+cars so I bought that and used just the piping&H-pipe part the mufflers are a set of Roush Extreme OR exiting in a set of 4" double rolled/slash cut polished stainless steel resonated tips which I love the way they look/sound

wow that look great, the first actual 2010 rear that i like and its the first v6 2010 that ive seen w/duals. If you were to paint the lower flat black piece it might make it look even better. Im sure some one on here could photo shop it first to see what it would look like.

That looks tight. Nice work.

I wonder if Ford will finally cough up dual exhaust for the new 3.7 models next year.

AWESOME! I really like the 2010. Unlike the 05-09's I like the look of the 2010 V6 better than the GT... well the front end for that matter, it just looks so clean without the fog lights in the grill. Looks amazing!

I agree with you. One of these days I might just go and take the foglights off and put a V6 grill in there and see how it looks. =D

I am ordering the Roush front end for mine when I get it and figure out how to do a foglight delete. Roush has them in the lower portion of the front fascia so no need for them in grille. On 2010 I think that gives a much cleaner look.

4liter as usual the car looks awesome

Thats funny because I originally bought a pypes mid muffler system which is sitting in my garage and decided not to use it after hearing a lot of sound clips of the system on 4.0's allwell I'm the first on here with a 2010 4.0 and the first to do their own custom true dual exhaust setup until proven otherwise
edit did you notice their cutout isn't symmetrical at all and those wheels are funky looking.
I also wonder if that is a shop car or a customer car&after all those pics how come no sound clips? Did you also notice on the 2010's that the mid pipe has no support hangers? I did because my 06 had them when I installed the mac prochamber but when we did the 2010 I had to have a set added because the system was nowhere near supported enough since their was nothing from the header collectors until the exhaust piping went over the rear axle so we bolted on a set of hangers and welded them right near the h-section for added support now the system doesn't move at all whereas before at idle it shook like crazy and under accleration you could feel the exhaust vibrating badly. I wonder how/if Ford or the aftermarket plans on addressing this problem/issue? Check out picture numbers 2-5 of that link to see what I mean

Looks good. You've got the same rims and tires as me, only difference being mine are black. I'll be moving to Gwinnett county in September if my house closes on time.

Also, add 100lbs of junk to the trunk and it'll drop the rear end down without the need of springs. By junk I mean a stereo.

WOW, I just looked at the Pypes dual kit. The left cutout in the bumper looks like absolute ***.
