Default Dual exhaust conversion

Im currently driving a 2007 V6 mustang and decided to upgrade the single exhaust into Dual exhaust. Currently checking out Americanmuscle.com and came across these 3 different conversion kits: Pypes 409 V6 Dual Pipe Conversion Kit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHLrW...layer_embedded. VS
Ford Racing V6 Performance Dual Exhaust Kit (05-09) http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-v...aust-0509.html VS
Magnaflow Mustang Dual Exhaust Catback System (05-09 V6) http://www.americanmuscle.com/magnaf...aust-2005.html

I'd like to know yall's opinion and recommendation. Thank you!

Quite a few have done a dual conversion using GT pipes and mufflers others have taken off and are selling. I have 2 sets of gt mufflers that I no longer need. You can save a lot of coin that way.
And the dual conversion is a nice mod for the v6!

My first choice was the Ford Racing duals. I ended up going a different route after seeing the Gurney quad tips on eBay.

I have Pypes X-pipe, mid pipe with two GT mufflers, but if Ford had offered theirs when I was in the market to purchase a set up, I would have gotten it.
I will say I am happy with the sound, waaaay better than the putt-putt V6 single muffler I had.

We went with the Ford Racing. Had it installed. Looks great , sounds great, wasn't the cheapest, but we are very happy.

I went with the FRPP M5230V6 dual exhaust kit on my Mustang and they look and sound great. The kit comes with everything you need and is made by Ford just for the Mustang V6. Yes, it is a little expensive but is a quality part. Not that hard to install yourself if you are mechanically inclined.

I have the FRPP too, but it's all still sitting in my dining room.

pYPES 409 ARE THE CHEAPEST QUALITY AND FIT.
303 STAINLESS IS BETTER THAT THE CHEAPOLA 409 STAINLESS.

I have this Borla setup. Pricey, unless you can find it on sale someplace. T-304 stainless. Looks, sound, fitment... excellant

Too pricey. I need something that'll get the whole 9 yards in 600 (700 MAX) dollars. Anything below that wouldn't be a bad idea either. I'm just trying to make my baby look just a little nice. I need to add more mods on it as well.
PS: Should I go with short headers or long headers? Any recommended brands? I was thinking BBK or Pypes.
