Default V6 Mustang Plenty Loud

I think my stock V6 is plenty loud, as people often complain about the V6 not having a nice "growl". When I get it to about 2500RPMs it has a nice loud roar. My friend said that my car sounds like a small plane taking off... So at least I dont think the car would need to be louder......and I did get this comment once from some punk kid: "thats loud for a slow car".....hmmmmmm

wow... i mean I'm glad you are happy with your exhaust... but I could hardly call the stock muffler loud... the fact that you can pick up 10RWHP by swapping it out tells me it's very restrictive... (read no loud... LOL ) My stock muffler was gone by day 2... LOL

a good after market single exhaust will get you about 10RWHP... and MRT Aeroturbine single exhaust will get you even more! However the MRT is loud and is not to everyone's liking... however it the top performer in my book!!!!

Going to a dual setup with an X-pipe will give you a minimal gain... 2RWHP..

I was like you at first, loving the sound of my bone stock Mustang. But then I listened to the exhaust clips above, and realized that a much better sound is easily achievable.

I do not htink I am going to get antoehr exhaust either. I like mine and I do not really want it too loud. Besides I see soooooooooooooooooooooo many V6 mustangs on the road that have their single. So there has to be a reason for it right?

I couldn't really hear the exhaust much when I got the car. I hear the engine more than anything... Now that I have the Ford Racing muffler I couldn't be happier.

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..

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
