I want to put TRUE dual exhaust on my 04 3.9L V6 mustang, and i want it to be LOUD very LOUD! any suggestions on what brand to go with? Also i want the back bumper to have the exhaust cutouts like the GT does, so should i cut the bumper it has or take it to ford and have them put a GT bumper on? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tyler

flowmaster 40 40 series is probably the loudest you will get a v6......as far as the bumper, I would buy a wrecked gt s bumper at the junk yard

Loud and V-6 doesn't mix well......

Loud can be acheived by freeing up any backpressure. It'll sound like ****, but it will be loud.


Cut off cats, run straight pipes, or at a max, glasspacks. It will be annoyingly loud. I stood beside a V6 stang that had the straight pipe setup, and when he revved it, it gave me an ear splitting headache. He thought it sounded good, I thought it sounded like ass, but to each his/her own.

thanks guys, ya i was thinking flowmaster and as far as chopping the cats off, i think i should just get the cut off valves to put in front of the cats so if i want it louder i can just push a button and it comes strait from the engine, there only like 50 bucks a piece. Thats an awsome idea for the bumper, hadent thought of that, thanks man.

if you want it really loud.. go with no cats and the race flowmasters.. it will be extremely loud.. but on a v6 im not sure how deep and good it will sound?

A V-6 with any kind of aftermarket exhaust sounds like crap when they rev it or get on it.

^^^^ Coming from a previous V6 owner..... I have to agree. While some systems sound good at idle, or around 2K rpms, most, when they go above 2500 sound like crap.

MAC sounds the best on V6's but it isn't v8 loud. Never will be. Now mine is a lot louder after my ported heads and cam swap.

THE V6 WILL NEVER SOUND LIKE THE V8.. TRUST ME I TRIED.. MANY TIMES AND LOTS OF MONEY WASTED... I JUST SWAPPED THE ENGINE FOR THE V8 AND WAS HAPPY I FINALLY DID IT... LOVE THE POWER AND ADDICTED TO THE SOUND...

my dad and I want to set an exhaust cutout system for my car, using either the existing system and just adding a cutout or a completely new X-pipe exhaust system. I have drawn diagrams of both and am wondering how much I would gain with each set up and how much each could be done for.

Your gain would not be that significate amanda
