That's not Flowmaster. It's magnaflow. I guess it will work. The thing I don't understand is, we have 2.25" pipes. Not 2.5".

well look... the only exhaust system that theres for a v6 is this one.... http://www.car-stuff.com/performance...e=83&category=
in flowmaster but i want a dual system not y... and where or what kind of x-pipe should i get?? link plz...

This is what I did. I took my car to a local exhaust shop, and they cut out the Y-pipe, and made me an X-Pipe. They welded it in, and added the Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. Add about $150-200 to the price of the system you are looking at for install labor. Guess what? That's just about what I paid for a custom setup. Actually, that's a bit more than I paid. If you want to save a bit, buy the mufflers on-line, and take them to the muffler shop. Have them make the X-Pipe, and install the whole thing. They can re-use your existing pipe on one side, and make matching pipe for the other.

hmmm... that sounds nice.. but did it add hp to ur car?? also.. i'm gonna put k&n intake, bbk headers, throttle body, under pulley... but i heard that if u "cut the pistons" it'll give u a nice boost in hp but it'll also use up more gas.. can actually "cut the pistons"???

Cut the piston??? Never heard of that one. I've been building cars since I was 12(I'm 44). Think about it tho. Cut the piston and you enlarge the combustion chamber. That lowers the compression ratio. Lower power.
One BIG caviat here. If you go with a bigger throttle body, you need to port, or enlarge the intake opening to the same size, or you will lose HP.
As far as the exhaust adding HP. Yes. Not much tho. The thing it does that is important is to let the engine breath better. Gives you a much better throttle response.
For me, it was more about the sound. pre 2004 V6's sound too damn anemic. Sounds like they're gasping for breath. I hated that.

well i guess i wont add the throttle body cuz thats just more more... but yeah... ask any mexican or latino mechanic about cutting the pistons.. well the actually dont literaly cut them but the done something else but u know.. latinos call it that way.. or "cortar los pistones" but u can ask... like what do the do when the "cut them"... well... go to this website... http://www.car-stuff.com/performance...e=83&category=

and look on the pypes street-pro and click on the 00 mustang v6 out sound clip... do u think it sounds nice or wabby???

03YellowPony

Sounded good to me.

OK.. I FOUND THIS.. U THINK THIS WILL DO OK IN A V6???
THIS IS THE X-PIPE..http://www.mustangtuning.com/mutuofx9v6.html
AND THIS GT CATBACK SYSTEM.. http://www.mustangtuning.com/99gtmawti.html
U THINK THE X-PIPE WILL WORK GOOD AS AN ADAPTER FOR THE GT SYSTEM??

Stay away from Magnapacks, well unless you want to sound like a ricer, just get a normal Magnflow catback system, and if your looking for a decent x pipe, then mustang tuning sells two, one with cats one without, me I reccommend without, but that's up to you, either way you'll sound good, just that cats will give your car a slightly higher pitch, not much though. If your looking for headers then I say get JBAs, they're about the best you can get, but stay away from MAC.
