Personally I don't really like any of the prefabbed Y pipe kits for the V6, if I had to choose one it'd probably be Borla... never heard Pypes in person, sound clips sound really ricey... custom duals really are the way to go with a V6 I think... then again I've only had my Mustang for 4 months so what do I know LOL...

well i have heard pypes O/R x and violator mufflers on a six once and it sounded good so iv decided thats what im getting once i get my tax return (when ever it comes )

and the great thing it is stainless and will never rust unlike mac flowmaster and a bunch of others out their and the price is great $414 and it has a lifetime warranty

Out of the catback systems, Borla would have to be the best, but it is VERY expensive for what it is.

Yeah, the stock "y-pipe" catback systems that are made for the six aren't nearly going to produce the aggressive rumble your looking for, but if all you want is a nice tone, that will sound sweet when you step on it, then a catback is for you.

a cat-back is like doin sumthin half ***, if thats wat u want then go for it but it wont give u any hp, not that a real system gives a lot but its just not givin your exhaust tone full potential and u can get a custom kit for the same amount of money, i got a flowmaster 40 series exhaust for 295 bux with my stock cats still installed, no y pipe tho
