Ok I have a 1998 v6 3.8 automatic mustang. I don't know much about exhausts and wanted help chosing which would be the best for it and what the total price would be with installation. Don't know what H or x pipes are. what are the difference? all I know is my mustang has one pipe coming out the back. sorry if some of my questions are dumb.

 

There are some decent diagrams in this thread CLICK ME showing the diferent configurations.
Plus this thread CLICK ME shows the typical flowmaster setup.

 

Your going to get mixed opinions about what brand to with, if you dont have a lot of money MAC gives the best bang for the buck. If youve got some money get mags (magnaflow) or borla. H and X pipes are what you call mid pipes. you have two pipes running from your cats right now those two pipes go into something called a y pipe when the pipes run into the y pipe the other side of the y pipe is only one pipe that is why you have a single exit exhaust. and x or H allows you to have two pipes come out the back. I dont have the time to get into H and x pipes so ill let someone else. Your total price + installation will depend on where you get you exhaust from and what the shop charges you for an installation. Im sure Jthorn will type you up some pics cause he has no life lol.

 

That was one of the links I posted.

 

i was in the middle of typing and didnt know you posted that up give me some credit harv im trying!!

 

hehehe...teh Harvmeister is quick on the draw pardner....EXCEPT where the ladies are concerned of course. [8D]

 

^ LMAO hahaha yea we all know that harv!!! But your getting old and the first thing to go is the eyesight and no seeo no typo so ill eventually get you!!!!

 

Ok I see alot of different systems, but most are for 99 mustangs, 4.8L ones, 98 GT, or V8. I was wondering if i could still use one of those systems on my 1998 v6 3.8L mustang? Thanks for your help.

 

here we go, this is a fight back and forth.[:-]

 

Yes you can. But it sounds like crap. IMO, a set of Flowmaster 40's, or ForceFlows from Summit Racing, with an X-Pipe sounds great. Some are gonna argue MagnaFlow, and they sound good as well.
