Got a 2010 V6 5-Speed in Oct. Added CAI and put a T-Lok GT rear end in it (Fun winter driving in MI). Want to add dual exhaust. Looking for input on what direction to go. Have to change to lower valance no matter what. Ford Racing has a nice kit (includes valance), but also thinking about stock GT setup. Any input or other ideas would be appreciated.

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 $$$. I bought 1 for my wife's car.

FRPP is the way to go, no cutting just add the dual exhaust valance hang your new pipes and mufflers and call it a day.

Ended up putting a Roush GT rear valance on it with the Pypes X-Pipe True Dual kit. Sounds great; easy install. The valance was inexpensive and gave it a little different look. I had my local body shop guy put it on in exchange for keeping the new stock valance. Great trade.

Good choice! Not cutting your bumper will def help resale value when or if you decide to trade in. Pics and vids are of course required now that you are done

the Roush valance with the square-ish exhaust cut-outs ? Did you have your exhaust guy fab up some tips ? Or did you pay major $$ from Roush ?

No change to the stock GT tips. Looks good. Surprisingly the Roush valance was as inexpensive as a stock GT valance. Definitely better than cutting the stock valance.: nice:
