Hello all,
A few years back I purchased a brand new 2014 v6/3.7l mustang. I've been slowly putting things on her and have kind of run into a little issue.
Details: Purchased MAC Performance Long tube headers & Off-Road shorty Mid Pipe with some form of Magnaflow mufflers (can't remember the muffler shop I went to suggested the mufflers and I jumped on it, I was a newby =\). Installed at 26k miles hopeful to solve this issue before the 33.5k miles mark
Issue: raspy/metallic sound at around 2k-3k RPMS then 6k and up.
Fix: I've been uninstalling and reinstalling everything to ensure I torqued everything down to specs. I've also replaced the manifold gasket twice to ensure it isn't a gasket leak. That doesn't seem to help. I've contacted a local muffler shop and they told me the best bet is to install some high-flow cats back in place and that should cut down on the raspy metallic sound.
Questions: Where might I be able to find some reasonably priced cats (high flow or not). Can I hook just anything up to those long tube headers (I've read you have to match brands together). Lastly, Can I re-sell my mid-pipe I've barely put 5k miles on it.
Sorry for such a long post I'm just at my witts end attempting to fix this. I need/want help any information you have would be a huge help to me.
Thanks in advance.
