Since I know you guys would have some good info, is it a big job to put a duel exhaust on my v6? I would like to get a better sound. Any ideas about muffler type? I would like to have an idea before I go shopping around.

thanks

A lot of people say MAC mufflers are good, take a look in 6 Cylinder Tech, there are a lot of discussions there about mufflers, also take a look at www.mustangexhaust.com

There are two basic ways you can go. One, you can buy a dual exhaust that bolts up to your y-pipe. This will give you looks, and better sound than stock (much better). MAC and Flowmaster make those and they might cost you $300-400 installed. Two, if you do have some extra money you can make it a real dual exhaust. You can add some JBA headers around $450 (optional) , X/H pipe $300-400, and a dual catback exhaust $300-400. This will give you much better sound, and better performance, but is probably going to cost more than $1,000.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

Well, what do you want to know?
As far as exhaust goes, headers, a H/X pipe, and a catback system is all there is to it.

flowmasters have a distinct sound, and i think it compliments fords natural exhaust note... but it's all in what makes your ears tingle

I think Flowmaster are much louder than the MAC. I personally have MAC and it's loud but once you reach a certain rpm you can hardly hear it.
I'm completely satisfied with mine.
