Buying V6 08..Question !
#11
The shop can probably make clamps and a mid pipe but you need to decide which you want an X or H. Talk to some of your local shops and see what they say. Maybe find a Mustang Club in your area that can point you to some recommended muffler shops. You have to factor in labor costs too and that can vary from $50-$300+.

I didnt even open your link until just now.
I do know that NTO charges for shipping but it wasn't that bad. the kit for 2010 was about $20 more and I paid total of $391 includes shipping, guess it differs based on where you live.

I would not start out with the objective of making your V6 sound like a V8.
Its just not going to happen. However, the V6s can sound really awesome.
I also a agree with 07 Stang, the cutout look is cheaper and it gives your Mustang
a unique look. IMO, 2nd best to a CS or GT500 valence.

here is my post from inside this thread about dual conversion
there are also some nice pics in my profile of things to look for after the fact, like rattling and trimming the hangers.
I LOVE the sound of the GT takeoffs. it sounds the deepest and most mature of all the mufflers IMO. Its also the cheapest.
Also there is a debate as to which GT take off sounds better, ones from a manual or auto mustang GT. Lots of people claim that the manual ones sounds better but the only people I have ever seen give a side by side comparison say there is NO DIFFERENCE. I think it all stems back to the great manual vs auto debate that gets brought up every month here

I got the GT mufflers dirt cheap and had the local shop fabricate an H-pipe and do the install. They charged me $200 for that. The H-pipe will give you a deeper tone, and it sounds like that's what you want.
