    2010 V6 Exhaust Upgrade

    Pypes true dual kit. Comes with X-pipe, all clamps and new hangers for drivers side muffler. Print the Pypes template for the valance cut out and you're there. Comes with 2 GT take-offs. Best sound for the V6 IMHO. Guy on e-bay has the very best price and it's a totally factory kit, just less...

    V6 exhaust - gt exhaust

    and again, what he said too. To my ears, the best sounding exhaust on the 4.0 V6 is a true dual conversion and GT manual take offs. A nice deep rumble at idle and enough muffler to kill some of the bad tones. But, you may like something totally different, which is cool. It's all about...

    V6 exhaust - gt exhaust

    compare them sometime. Look in from the exhaust tip on an automatic and a manual muffler.You'll see the difference. Ford doesn't make mufflers, they go to the lowest bidder after Ford specs out the part. It's just as easy to make different styles as it is to make 1 for a muffler producing...

    In my opinion, you can't go wrong with the Bullitts (my favorite), in any color- black, chrome, anthracite... +1 !!!

    V6 exhaust - gt exhaust

    an X-pipe will be a little raspier than an H. If you can find a H-pipe take-off from a GT w/the GT mufflers, you'll have a nice sounding set-up. Or you can buy the Pypes conversion. I found a kit on E-Bay that was a heck of a deal but it is an X-pipe. Sot I'm going to swap in the stock H-pipe...

    Mustang will not start

    most electrical problems are due to a bad ground. If all your lights/things work but it won't turn over I would first check the switch or the starter leads. It sounds like your engine is in run mode, just won't spin the starter to start it. Or maybe your clutch lockout or park lockout switch is...

    My new car is leaking

    have they pulled the cowl and checked the water drain below the cabin filter ? If not, find a new dealership, you may be dealing w/retards. Did they check for the TSB for this ?

    SLP Loudmouths vs. Nothing at all!

    nice job on the video. Although I didn't hear much difference in sound quality, you could tell a difference in tone from the sound exiting behind the rear fascia and under the car. Regardless, the only person either exhaust system needs to make happy is you. A tune sure would tighten up those...

    NEW to Forum! HELP!

    too tough to answer that question w/a few sentences. I suggest you go through the V6 section and read some posts and look at some pics. Every person has their own idea of what looks good, you'll need to figure out what you like and what you don't.

    Question about Possible exhaust 2007 pony package

    for a good sound that isn't real drone-prone, and the V6's do get a bad drone if you don't use a chambered muffler, get the Pypes true dual conversion that comes with 2 GT take off mufflers. The Gt manual take-offs are a little better sounding and a little louder than the GT automatic mufflers...

    V6 Exhaust Resonance Annoyance Tips?

    you're lucky your drone isn't at freeway speeds, extra body mounts won't help, it's not a rattle. It's sound vibrations that aren't cancelled by any baffling in your exhaust system. Spend some $$$ on some dynamat or a comparable product. Line the trunk, under the rear seat, maybe your doors and...

    no guarantees you'll ever live to see that 401K come to you. Chances are good you will, but life has a funny way. If you live your life as well as you can everyday, you won't have many regrets when you're 401K eligible. Beautiful car, drive it, do whatever you want to it that makes it yours...

    V6 Exhaust Resonance Annoyance Tips?

    you have 2 options; replace the boomtubes with something that has baffling to squelch some of the drone. or buy some dynamat and insulate yourself from the drone. The V6 drones, so does the V8 with straight thru mufflers or muffler deletes.

    UCAs LCAs Relocation brackets, questions questions questions...

    not as much to it as you might think. Pretty much an unbolt the old and bolt up the new. The LCA relocate brackets are for lowered cars so the LCA's retain their geometry. The UCA is a stronger piece that also lets you adjust your pinion angle. You can do so also with the adj LCAs. What will...

    Am I Getting Hosed by the Dealership?

    unless you're going for warranty work, there's no reason to go to a Ford dealer, unless you want to. Find a good, honest mechanic and stay with him. You'll save around 50% right off the top and have someone who's opinion you can trust. There's a reason they call them 'Stealerships'.

    Are used cams ok?

    the other side of that coin is if you buy new, once you install them and spin the engine once, your new cams are used. I know what you're saying about the history. It's something you never know. I saw a pic of some FRPP gears a guy bought online. There was a huge chunk out of the pinion...

    Granatelli Stroker Motor

    wow, although I have heard the same comment around other forums. Too bad, I remember Granatelli racing from many years ago.
