Don't be an idiot. When I had my last V6 Mustang, I converted it to duals and had factory style turn-down tailpipes on both sides. I know lots of non-ricers driving V6 Mustangs.eliot22 said:One thing I've noticed about V6 Mustangs owners who modify their exhaust: the ricier the better. How many 6 cyl mustangs have you seen with dual tips rubbing the bottom of the stock bumper? Or even worse, is when they get a fart muffler and add a 6" tip. They LOVE it!
Magnaflow, go ahead and make it look as import as you want. The teens will buy.
dumps or turn downs are good aslong as the car sounds good not like a ricerDutch said:Don't be an idiot. When I had my last V6 Mustang, I converted it to duals and had factory style turn-down tailpipes on both sides. I know lots of non-ricers driving V6 Mustangs.
I had GT takeoff mufflers on my V6, but the thing that made the biggest different in improving the sound was welding the weep holes shut. It eliminates the vast majority of the raspy sound. I don't know if this makes sense for Magnaflow, since it might lead to rust in northern climates.

I would NOT consider for a second an aftermarket single exhaust, even if it gave me 400 hp, 11 second quarter miles, and 50 miles per gallon. It's gotta be dual exhaust, or else you might as well just save for a GT, in my opinion. I want my car to look like a Mustang, not a fartcan acura. Having a big, chrome single exhaust.... eew. yuk. Well, if you do it that way as a single, remember to include about 20 pounds of window decals in the box, because the buyers of those kits will probably love it!

There's just something about dual exhaust. Even people who don't know anything about cars think dual exhaust is the best thing since sliced bread. Look at every fart canned import you see. The guys who spend big bucks on their wheezing 1.8L's tend to convert to dual fart cans. It prob doesn't do a damn thing for them, but the bragging rights of having dual exhaust is the reason they do it.
I think it was stupid of Ford to put a single cutout. I think they should have done the rear bumper like the 99-04 V6 bumper and left it flat and had the tip extend under the bumper.
MOST V6's i see on the road that are modded tend to have dual exhaust. Once in a while i see a single fart can, sometimes i see dual fart cans, but the majority of the time i see two tailpipes extending out from under the bumper cover. Sometimes the V6'er swaps for a GT bumper, especially when a GT owner runs dumps and wants to trade.
If i owned a V6, DUAL EXHAUST would be the only think I would consider. That would mean getting a GT rear bumper would have to be factored into the cost.
Did Ford make the rear bumper in such a way that you can manually cut out the left cut-out on your own??

05v6 said:As a V6 owner I would like performance and sound to be my first two considerations in the purchase of an aftermarket exhaust. The Dual exhaust is my preference, but something would need to be done to the rear bumber. If you supplied a template for the cut-out of the drivers side bumper and possibly a plastic backing that could be epoxied in to strengthen the bumper and not be exposed from the rear, you would then have my attention.
