Would be a lot easier to just have it modified to fit. But I am sure there could be a way to bolt it on. But do yourself a favor and just go with a x-pipe.
It would have to be modified (i.e. bent) to bolt up to the engine exhaust manifolds. In my opinion it would be better to go with a V6 X-pipe, as ChingonStang posted. The pipe diameter is the same on both the V6 and V8 models, so there is no performance advantage to be gained by trying to modify a V8 midpipe to fit instead of using an aftermarket midpipe made to directly fit the V6 manifolds.
what he said or you could just get one made by the shop thats putting on your exhaust. might be cheaper that way either way, stick with the x-pipe, because it sounds better than an h-pipe on the v6
I bought a offroad Xpipe for 140 including shipping from www.RPMoutlet.com and got a 03 GT catback on my 2002 the two sound great and everyone has said its really good asking what kinda exhaust it was...better off that route i got the catback from ebay for 85 from a local in my city so the total was 214 i think for both plus install
no, its just that h-pipes and x-pipes both work to equalize the pressure between each side of the exhaust, but the x-pipe does a better job than the h-pipe. both can be used on any year v8
Most exhaust companies make thier own like magna, flow, bassani...but you can always have the shop custom make one for you. Its what I did and it turned out to be cheaper.
Yeah i think i might do that then, And also has anyone tryed JBA shorty headers on there V6? I havn't decided what kind of headers to get yet i just wanna go around for now and get some ideas..Any ideas anyone?
The GT has a stock H pipe on it. The V6 does not require any kind of midpipe due to the firing order. There is no high end HP / low end torque to be gained from using either an X or H pipe. You can run the pipes straight back from the cats to the exhaust if you want.
Here's the thing though.. a GT H-Pipe is going to be part of the cat system. therefore it would have to be cut and welded anyway, because those cat's aren't going to hook to the manifolds in the exact same way.
I had the shop fabricate me an X pipe, only because an X will be louder than a H pipe, or nothing at all. I have MAC Straight Flowpath mufflers, left the cats on (I think it sounds too ricey with the cats removed on the 99-04's.)
