Thanks...that's a good starting point! |

| | | QUESTION FOR EXHAUST???
Hi there... I was wondering if you guys would help me in deciding which would be better in exhaust performance and sound wise... I do prefer the side exhaust look or the rear exit... Would it change the sound at all? Since the pipes being a bit shorter than extending to the rear, would it make a difference... Also the reason why i'm asking is b/c i may end up getting bassani side exhaust pipes with JBA headers... I have heard alot of your exhaust clips and like majority of them... I already put a 3 core intercooler with a procharger P-1SC supercharger in... This may help to give it a better sound, not only performance... |

Anybody else done the Magnaflow X-Pipe and Dual Flowmaster American Thunder's set-up yet? I think that is what I am going to do ASAP! |

these are all well and good, but most sound a little....zinggy. is there anyone out there that has a good old fashioned deep deep DEEP rumble that really barks off the line? |

Hey everyone, Just bought my 07 V6 Mustang a few days ago, and already looking at upgrading the exhaust.
Going to keep it single for the time being so I don't incur a lot of fees. From what I have listened to in the previous posts, the MAC sounds like the winner - just a few questions:
1.) What are you referring to when you say "GT Take-off single axle back?" Is that the FRPP V6 Borla single axle back?
2.) The MAC muffler you all are referring to, is that the same one on their site under exhausts entitled "2005 V6 Mustang Direct Bolt on Single Outlet Axle Back" - $179.50
I understand you won't be able to really reproduce that V8 sounds, I'm not looking for that. Just looking for something a little more throatier, and deeper than the stock V6 muffler, with as little "Blurbing" (that popping sound) as possible when revving.
Thanks! |

Is that the FRPP V6 Borla single axle back? | a GT take off is a muffler that was originally installed from the factory on a GT (stock GT mufflers). many companies sell take off parts, which are like new with very low miles. saleen is one example. check the stangnet sponsor forums. i know we have at least one "take off" vendor. you can also get them from GT owners when they upgrade their exhaust. |

Thanks for clearing that up Bigcat. Think I will go for the MAC axle back exhaust then, just need clarification on if the MAC muffler I referred to from the MAC homepage, is the same one referred to in the previous post - I believe it was an MAC SS Axle back.
Was entertaining the idea of a flowmaster, but I think previous research from the V8 forum sound clip thread said that the flowmaster was a chambered exhaust or something, and the Mustang sounds better with a straight exhaust. I could have my I's and T's mixed up, as I am still new to the car lingo.
Care to shed some light on the matter? |

flowmaster is a chambered muffler, and sounds best with an H pipe on the GTs. i dont know how it would sound on a sixer with a Y pipe. on the GT, with an X pipe, it gives a very raspy sound. |

X pipe is the stock on a GT, and a Y pipe is the stock on a sixer?
Regardless, I think I'll buy the MAC muffler, just a little leery on buying the MAC muffler on their website because it doesn't say "SS Axle back." However, I'm assuming they are one in the same? |

Has anyone ever just taken off their muffler all together?
I brought my car in for service earlier this week and a kid that works there walks up to me and says that I should take the muffler off. He said they dynod a V6 without any muffler and it was a 10HP gain. Any truth to this?
Now, I honestly can say that I would never do this because I'm assuming it would sound like crap, but I was just curious is anyone has experimented with it. |

the car sounds nice without a muffler. just dont get pulled over.
the 10hp gain is probably close because people have claimed that with an aftermarket exhaust. |

Hey guys,
I was wondering how much performance there would be gained from a cat back exhaust with x-pipe vs just a single axle back given the same brands???
Thanks |

Thanks | Hi blackstang14,
There is virtually no difference in performance, but there is a difference in sound.
Duals sound better.
Since you will be driving your stang for years, go with what makes YOU happy.
I chose the duals for looks and sound. 
I'm happy
