Guys, I need some help/info here.
My daughter has an '04 V6, stock, automatic.
She had an accident last year and the body shop ended up putting a stock GT rear bumper on as a replacement.
As you can guess, it looks pretty silly on there with that stock, single exhaust pipe hanging down.
She wants some dual pipes to fit in with the GT bumper, and of course wants a better sound.
I have searched here and read all the threads I can take, but hope you can help me with some suggestions to make her christmas a happy one.
1) If ordering one of the cat-back systems to fit a V6, I assume they are meant to fit with a stock bumper, with the turn down tailpipe. Is this accurate or would they come with straight pipes that would actually fit into the GT's exhaust slots?
2) Staying with just a cat-back system, is there any need of using any of the GT take-off exhaust system parts? I keep reading here about using them, but not sure if that is necessarry in our case.
3) Would the MAC Flow Paths be ok for her? She has sulked about the sound of her car since new. She has vivid memories of my modded 93GT that shook the walls in the house.
Is there another brand we should consider more? I was surprised then searching for Flowmasters that I could only find them in 3 chamber for her car. Do they not offer 2 chamber for the V6's in a cat-back kit?
Well, I will stop here with the questions and hope some of you experts on V6 stangs can help me out.
Thanks for any and all info you can provide. I need to get this Christmas order in soon. I plan to do the basic install myself. I usually have my local muffler shop weld the joints when I am done.
