Default v6 dual exhaust

currently i'm running a v6 with a single exhaust w/flowmasters. how much $$ would it take to convert it to a dual exhaust, and what system would you suggest?

Ask this in the v6 section and you'd probably get a lot better responses ... I imagine there are quite a few threads on it.

From my limited understanding however, 2 GT mufflers are a popular choice for the v6'ers and can actually net a few HP too.

Before I bought my GT, I used to have a 2000 V6. When I lived in Texas I had a local shop convert me over to a dual flowmaster setup. Sounded decent. Cost me $350 for everything back in 2000.

I would disagree, but to each his own.

Try replacing that V6 mufler with a passengers side OEM stock
muffler take-off first. Under $25 and impressive in sound. HP
wise I would do the duals and the rear GT bumper cover swap.
Cutting the V6 rear bumper for the drivers side outlet cover is
somehow cheating.

Exhaust is like wheels, Everyone likes something different. I have done 3 mustangs(3.8, 3.9) , 2----4.0 rangers, and a 4.0 Explorer sport. I tried true duel and , TO ME that sounds like crap, Like a mad Honda.
The best sound I have found is a 1 in 2 out Two Chamber muffler and duel exhaust pipes. I have never done a 197 and a 1 in 2 out wouldn't work, if your looking to have two mufflers in the back. If your going to have true duels, then some short 3 chambers would probably be the best sounding. But, you may like that loud Honda noise , If so then 2 three chambers wont work for you.
If I was going to duel a 197 -6, I would put a 1 in 2 out 2 chamber, under the car and Gut-out two muffles to hang in the back and run the exhaust pipes straight threw the mufflers in back.
4.0 with a 1 in 2 out sound as close to a V8 as I could make a 6 sound.

I bought two GT Takeoff mufflers from a member on this forum. I ordered Pypes True Dual System w/Street legal x pipe from V6 Mustang Stuff for $329.00.
I'm cutting my bumper....I've seen it done and I think it would look nice.

Some guys went with Ninosport while others do straight pipes or an H pipe set up.

I have an 05 V6 we just put the magnaflow (part #16605) on and they are awesome. The sound is fantastic, install was easy and everything came in the box. Cost was $457.00 from planetmagaflow. They give a discount for members of mustang forums also.
