Exhaust help on 05 V6
Well I have been having a horrible rattle coming from under my car for the past 2 weeks. Finally got time with the nice weather to crawl under and see what was going on. Turns out the Cat on the passenger side has come apart and pieces are stuck in it and not coming out.
My question is: What would be the cheapest route(less than $500) for me to get new cats, and run true duals out to GT takeoffs? I already have the GT takeoffs.
I saw that Pypes has some high flow cats for about $200 a set. What x-pipe/h-pipe should I go with and piping out to the mufflers?
Here is what I have done Research and found so far:
1st Option
Pypes CVM10K High flow Cats $189.99 a pair
Pypes XFM44 X-Pipe $115.00
Muffler shop building new piping back to GT Takeoffs ~$150(just a guess)
Bracket for Driver side muffler $30
Total $480
2nd Option
Pypes CVM10K High flow Cats $189.99 a pair
Pypes SFM65 X-pipe + pipes out to mufflers $300
Bracket for Driver side muffler $30
Total $519.99(Ouch, but could put together in garage)
3rd Option
Pypes CVM10K High flow Cats $189.99 a pair
Pypes kit from newtakeoff(includes all mounting hardware) $299.99
Total $490

Well right now I gutted the cats to get rid of the loud rattle. Here is what it sounds like right now with Gutted cats to single GT takeoff

On a V6, forget the crossover and run true duals all the way. (ok, well, using a H might sound a little better, but do not use an X, it will sound like ****).
I ran duals with hi-flow cats to gt-takeoffs and it worked out nicely.

Stay away from duals from "Pypes" they fit badly, are not bent to Ford specs and will cause axel interference at normal suspension travel on a lowered vehicle.
I went with Ford exhaust system for a V6 on mine and with the GT mufflers sounds great. O/E stuff may cost more but you know they will fit right.
