Welcome fellow noobie.. btw.. have someone teach your to drive a stick.. once you *really* learn you'll never go back to an auto, especially on a sports car.

As long as you don't put a fart can on it or run a straight pipe, you will improve the sound.

All of the major exhaust companies have catback kits that will fit the sixer. Check them out.<edited><editID>converted</editID><editDate>37817.4678819444</editDate></edited>

Flowmaster is the most popular for the deep throaty sounds..

a V6 will never sound anything like a GT, especially a GT headers orwith a completeexhaust set up like i havebecause it has a different firing sequence. even big V10 viper engines don't sound anything like a V8.you want that rumble, you need the V8.no matter what you do to the exhaust, it will always be easy to tell by listening its a V6. but a good flowmaster cat back will make it sound pretty good.<IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0"></P>

Default hey yall!

the best thing you can do is go to a local muffler shop, like big Al's if you have them, and buy the flowmaster mufflers from them and have them custom bend your pipes. any reputable shop can do this easily, and most of them stock flowmasters. Big al's here in Va did my flowmaster on my old camaro, and the tips. it's not expensive, and very convienent. for my 97 Z28, it was 214 for the muffler and tips, 263 for a cat back. it might be a little more for a mustang, the mufflers will cost about the same but the cat back piping might be a little more. they did my camaro in about an hour, while i waited.
