Hello?? They're MUSCLE CARS remember. +1 to the guy who said other V6's come with duals.

There is no real performance advantage to putting duals on our 4.0L's when they are NA. Traditionally V6 Mustangs have been single exhausts. Early V8 Mustangs actually came with either dual or SINGLE exhausts. If you like the looks of duals.. that's fine... but that is really the only reason to put them on... so to answer the OP question, no it won't hurt.. but then again it really won't help either...
While duals don't mean GT, a single screams V6.... LOL!

Hmmmmm. 90% voted for duals. Nuf said.

Yea, pretty much what I was trying to say LOL

lol WE ARE NOT DRIVING HONDAS
lol we have enough displacement to make power off the headers alone with no exhaust system lol

This is offset at Higher RPM and when the car is in motion.
That's also why LONGtube headers work better than shorties. The longtube headers retain heat better and thus increase the velocity of the exhaust gasses better than shorties.

Some of you guys crack me up...larger diameter pipe (too large) will slow the velocity down of the exhaust system and make the system inefficient at scavanging. Meaning it won't keep the exhaust leaving the combustion chamber at the same speed (velocity) thus not allowing as much of the exhaust to be well...exhausted out of the combustion chamber to allow more air and fuel in the next cycle.

of course if you were cammed, lift and duration alone running off the headers would then promote better power off the headers..
NA the scanvenging effect is wanted for economy and efficientcy , but when looking for performance scavenging gets in the way..ESPECIALLY when your force induced
