Nice thing about our V6 bumpers is the cutout is so far under the lip, minor blems will not be seen unless you are on your back.

Ok, Right side GT muffler on. Looks great. The car sounds and feels much better, Im surprised at how restrictive the V6 muffler was. I shined a light into both the V6 and V8 mufflers, The V8 has a much larger diameter pipe inside.

Now to just figure out how to run duals. I got on fordparts.com and I think I see the left side GT exhaust pipe. Im thinking its going to be spendy by the time I bought that, hangers, and fabbed up a crossover.

Maybe we can buy a catback less the mufflers. I like the GT's and want to use them.

I got my custom dual setup done today with my GT take-off mufflers. the way I did it is probably not the best way but it was cheap and I'm happy.

I'll post full details including pictures after I've had a few days to evaluate what I did. for now I'll just say it looks mean and sounds sweet. if performance was effected it is beyond my notice.

That's funny. He didn't notice the emblems were wrong for a GT?

i cant tell if you are qeustioning me so i will asume your not, its better that way, and i have seen a couple without the gt badge on the back, just like i have seen 4.0 on some and nothing on the side of many, and as for symbols it seems it the fog lights that really give the impression of a gt isnt it or am i wrong

I was talking about the other guy in the GT. I'm guessing he didn't see the pony on the trunk. I usually look for that before I look for dual exhaust. Although if I only saw a car from the front I go by the fog lights.

Hey guys im new here and I need some help,
I've read through your replies and I see that your all getting the mufflers at real cheap prices. I'd like to have 2 stock gt mufflers and I figure I could just take those plus the hangers and have a muffler shop deal with the rest. I went through ebay and couldn't find anything then went to a parts website and found this... http://www.parts.com/partlocator/ind...13787&chapter= Now I see that you guys are paying like 80 dollars and i'm really just kind of lost on this whole process. Any help would be appreciated.

Roy,

If you go to eBay and search for "2005 Mustang muffler" the first hit is what you are looking for (first hit as of this moment at least).

Anyhow, Item number: 7967810100. Its around $40 for the mufflers and another $40 for shipping. Then another $80-$100 for hangers if you decide to install the second GT muffler. (hopefully someone will find a cheaper solution because buying the hangers was painful)

If you still cant find it on eBay just email the guy - mike@cascocompany.net

Thanks a ton toronado, you have no idea how much that helped. I don't know why but when I searched Ebay I couldn't find it.
