wow a 10HP gain just from a muffler?? I think Ill look into the MRT. My stock muffler dos have some "burned" marks on it though so I might looked into replacing it. I just see all these other V6 cars with duals so i was wondering about those. I also though about the "single duals" sorry dont know how to desribe them . I mean these: http://www.subydude.com/images/prod/...exhaust_02.jpg
Never seen those on any mustang ......

thing to remember... the MRT outpeformed the Magnaflow by like 7RWHP at peak... so we're talking a lot more the 10RWHP gain over the stock muffler! (The Magnaflow was good for 8 to 10 RWHP)...

RE: V6 Mustang Plenty Loud

because i noticed a difference straight away, just reving the car it revs much easier and dusnt bog much at now. it used to be a dog

He means the latter, a dual setup will only give a few hp gain over a single axleback of the same type. So no, dual say Magnaflows won't give as much as a single MRT, which won't give as much as dual MRT's.

Yes a single exhaust on our stangs will provide more horsepower than duals. Duals will achieve around 2 rwhp, and 10rwhp with a single.

RE: V6 Mustang Plenty Loud
At what engine RPM are you seeing these gains? Is the average guy gonna see these gains? There seems to be a lot of ads that say the same. 10 HP or RWHP gain but they don't say if it is at 2300 RPMs or 6500 RPMs.
I will tell you this: There is crisper throttle response up to 2100 RPMs on the seat of the pants meter and the exhaust sound in stereo is really nice. Exhaust mods here will lay the groundwork to make better numbers when the induction is modded. Knowing that the the car does not have to be retuned with an exhaust mod tells me that not much in the way of gains are going to be had BUT you really need this mod before you do a turbo, nitrous, or other supercharger. Just like plug wires - on their own they won't give you any hp but they will help support high hp and make it reliable.

RE: V6 Mustang Plenty Loud
My 2 cents on the factory single is that it restricts power and you have to rev it up to 4k rpm to hear it. I looked at alot of Axel backs. I decided on the MRT. WOW what a huge difference. It feels like its supercharged or something. And it sound real nice. Its loud but sounds so frikin sweet. Everyone who rode with me said it changed the car. I get tons of complitments on it. I even get better gas miles, so right there it will pay itself of quick. I would go MRT!

Your right... there is really no performance reason on our V6 to go to duals... Personally I will keep The Mistress a single exhuast... perhaps i'll having to put larger piping in some day... but she's a V6 so she will always be a single exhaust... Of course every one sees the single exhaust and thinks i'm an easy target... hehehehe..

I would stick with the single. That way you won't have to cut your heart out when you cut the rear valance.
I put my JBA single on last Monday, took it on an interstate trip of about 300 miles yesterday. It sounds sweeter every day as I break it in.

RE: V6 Mustang Plenty Loud
I didnt cut my rear for duals I really didnt have a choice. I was going to cut it, but someone felt like keying/running the shopping cart along it (not sure which) so it just made sense to buy the gt bumper.
