I'm sure you'll get other responses from guys who know for sure but I have read that a good muller shop can fab the pipe for you for a few hundred. Wouldn't you need a X or H for a V6 to Gt conversion for the second muffler?

Why bother doing that?

Do what's called Divorced Duals. Basically each exhaust bank has a dedicated exhaust pipe, no X or Y Pipe. If you're worried about the Cats for emission puposes, a good muffler shop can cut the Y off after the Cats and weld on straight pipes for you. No reason to bottle neck your exhaust by going from one Y to another Y (Essentialy an F'd up X pipe)

I suppose if I wanted to to have it true dual exhaust...BUT thats one thing I was trying to avoid I have too many race cars I just dont want this to fall apart just like any other crappy exhaust setup basicly closer to OE is better.

I just ordered a Pypes v6 system for not too much, it is only costing me $330 for the whole kit - Mufflers, mid pipes, x-pipe, and the hardware needed and its a slip fit exhaust so there isnt any welding.

That sounds reasonable...does it look like you can use the stock gt mufflers?

Well that does come with the Pypes Mufflers but you can go to v6mustangstuff and just buy the mid pipes and x pipe and can use that with the GT mufflers.

If you don't want it to fall apart, do it right.

What kind of exhaust "falls apart"? I've done a custom exhaust on a 1975 Mustang II and put a GT H-pipe conversion on a 94 Mustang 3.8 ... The only kind of exhaust that i've seen "fall apart" is one thats 20 years old..
