05redfire take it easy I am getting it I just want to do it right the first time see below (new to V6's)



Derf
I think I am going to go this way, after your input and others dual exhaust with X pipe with max. 2.25 dia outside pipes going back to the mufflers( stock V6 mufflers & derf like you said could always change later)) like a safe way for me to go without losing to much back pressure and I should not lose any HP or TQ at all AND poss according to 05red gain a little this route. ( i know 05red I should go free flow aftermarket can't do it if was a 8 no problem)

On the V6 all the aftermarket mufflers I heard & GT take offs which I tried on my car just don't give me the sound IMO I like no offense to anyone, thats why I am going with V6 stock mufflers for me quieter but I like the sound remember I have a stick.

One last question what is the diff between going with a H pipe and X pipe (than the obivious flow) performance wise and tech wise and I should go with the X pipe insted of the H pipe right?

This has been a good thread cleared up a lot of questions for me and I think I got it and I like to thank all you guys for you input all you guys were great.

Because I keep thinking about reported dyno results when I read the quote below along with other information at that link below, I am trying to over come this thats why like sancho805 said like to see dyno results but acording to you guys X pipe is what makes (w/2.25 pipes) the difference vers true dual exhuast .

Thanks, your ride looks sweet. I dig the stripe on the rear! Mine is auto.

X pipe is more free flowing than a H.

So, whats the difference between true duels vs an H pipe...isnt it one in the same in a sence?

StupidTodd

An H is connected (like an H)... true duals have no interconnect.

IDK why you would run a "true" dual on a V6. Basically you have 2 GEO Metro's now. You might gain a lil horsepower but you'll lose torque. And what's up with those lil fog lights on the V6? Is that from the factory, or is that some sad attempt to look like a V8. BTW, unless you're worried about insurance, WHY OH WHY!?!? would you get a V6 Pusstang!!!! 210hp lol.
My old 2000 Honda Accord can smoke you V6's all day!! (227hp 211tq, and that's with a 4 speed)
Bottom line, you should prolly get an X pipe, that would solve your back pressure issues. Or just do a single to Y pipe and put some nice tips on and you'll be doing good.

StupidTodd

Easy: Twin Turbos

Those are the 06 V6 factory fog lights.

Because I didn't want to be associated with the a$$hole Mustang GT crowd that thinks they're better than everyone else, that's why.

(notice, I'm not saying all Mustang GT owners, just those with the weird superiority complex, most GT owners are wonderful helpful people, but then there are the "others"... why can't we all just get along?)

Besides, it's more fun to play with the V6. Any 'tard can pay someone to make 500HP out of their GT. It takes some skill and patients to do it with the V6 (and make it reliable). The aftermarket is so small, you end up having to do a lot of the custom work yourself.

i have seen dynos of other cars that had true duals put on (instead of a single) and some of the smaller engined cars did lose a bit of power, not really any significant amount tho, like 2hp

LOL, ouch, that had to hurt... [sm=icon_beat.gif]
