Gt bumper and flowmaster exhaust on V6
I have a V6 mustang. I want a "beefier" sounding exhaust. Don't get me wrong it sounds pretty darn good for a V6 but I'm thinking I want flowmasters on it. I need a GT bumper because I want dual exhaust, I know I've seen it before on a V6. How much do bumpers cost? anyone know? I've been online looking around. I know I don't want to keep the bumper I have now because then the pipes will be hanging under the bumper with dual exhaust and that would look
kinda dorky. any help would be appreciated, thx.

This is probably a dumb question but, I am just curious as to how easy the installation of these are?
I am not very car savy as you can tell.
And has anyone actually ordered from these websites?

Yes, but I have only ordered from Ninosport, but I have also heard plenty of good things from Newtakeoff, you should be fine with either. As for the installation, IMO not to bad at all, just give yourself a few hours, some patience, and you're golden. I used Spartan IV's How-To for installing GT bumpers and did fine my first time. His how-to is located here. https://mustangforums.com/m_1121391/tm.htm

the guy is a sponser here and gives discounts to members, probably will end up costing less through him, i got mine from him, he usually gives free shipping to members here but he cant on something as big as a bumper, but when i talked to him on the phone, he knocked the shipping costs rom $140 to $100, so that helped
as for the install, i dont know, i have a few things that need paint/install, and even though the bumper is already matching, im having the shop put it on while they have the car, there is a sticky topic with a walk through for it though

RE: Gt bumper and flowmaster exhaust on V6
hey bluest@ng.... you can also have your existing bumper cut for the other muffler...... several people on here have done this and have been satisfied with the results...actually looks stock........sounds kinda scary cutting the bumper and all ,,, but would be much cheaper than the GT takeoff bumper... i believe their is even a template somewhere on this site that you can provide a body shop with to make a nice clean cut in the exact spot needed for the 2nd muffler........ hope this helps.. just another option.
