I am a MAC dealer, PM me for more detailed information.

MAC has a ypipe catback or an Hpipe for true duals.

I have one of the first V6 that was done on the 99+ cars since early 2000 and have not ever had a problem.

HIt me either on PM or email for any specific questions that you may have.

Why put a true dual exhaust on a V6 mustang? You could even lose hp. I would simply keep the stock Y-pipe and run a fake dual exhaust from it. It'll still look like a dual exhaust with two pipes coming out. The V6 doesn't put out as enough exhaust for a true dual with H-pipe or X-pipe.

I have the true duals with the H pipe and have lost no hp at all. Wherever you and other people hear that from is wrong. It may have happened on one car and that rumor spread because they messed something up installing it or used too large of pipes. I have 2.25 inch pipes and have not lost any hp and in fact it feels like I gained some.

If you are going to add duals to your v6, you won't be doing it for power, but sound. My sounds awesome, as beefy as a v6 can sound.

Yea, i would have to disagree with that also. I have MAC Long Tube Headers with a MAC H-pipe. Personally, I have not lost any horsepower, if anything, i gained some.

You have a Razzi body kit and you say "friends don't let friends drive rice"?

JK, just giving you crap!

Did you do pre/post mod dynos or make passes with a G-tech?
It's hard to quantify any performance gain or loss after doing a mod that gives your car a louder and more aggressive sounding exhaust. The general consensus is that adding exhaust flow must be done carefully with a V6 that doesn't have forced induction.
As for the H-pipe, it does exactly nothing in a V6. I hope you got it for free!

Yea, thats why StangNet's project Mach 1 has the same body kit on it. Anyways, I never said that it was just the H-pipe that added the horses.
