my exhaust (so far)

cmschlatt · 11-24-2007, 05:45 PM

i have a 2005 v6 mustang. im slowly collecting parts for my exhaust system. my goal is mac longtubes-> mac hiflow cats-> (resonators??)-> straight pipes-> gt takeoff mufflers

i'm going to show some pics of what i have so far to see if i have everything i need

from left to right, hiflow cats, some pipes, resonators

i have the gt mufflers and this (couldnt find a picture of it so i drew it

)...

its an x pipe with just the x and nothing else. i don't think im going to use it because i dont want my exhaust too raspy and i dont want to have to weld a bunch of stuff in. im buying my longtubes off a guy soon so i think ill have everything i need. opinions about what i need or should get are welcome (except for kyle cuz im keeping the cats

)!

get a better sounding muffler than the gt take offs would be my opinion

cmschlatt · 11-24-2007, 05:52 PM

im going to see what they sound like first, then ill make my decision

thatdavidkid · 11-24-2007, 06:09 PM

this set up would probably sound good if either a, you ditch the resonators, b, you use your resonators as mufflers, or c, you ditch the res. and get better mufflers..

listen to it on a stock gt sounds like a v6.all aftermarket mufflers on the s197sound alot better.

That's kind of odd that they place the left bank 02 sensors that close to each other. It makes no difference where they are really, but being that you have a cat to go with it, it makes me wonder what they were thinking when they designed the down pipe.

cmschlatt · 11-24-2007, 11:41 PM

how would i use my resonators as mufflers? are they going to have to be welded in if i do use them? i didnt know i had resonators until a couple days ago

High flow cats kill the longtube sound and make it very quiet compared to a offroad setup. I love my longtubes, offroad h, and flowmasters. If you go to biffs i'll change your mind on going with cats

...

cmschlatt · 11-25-2007, 02:26 AM

ive heard melish's car with LTs and it sounds amazing but our engines are verrrry different. so im going to see how the hiflows turn out

i may end up taking them off later

l_shizzle_l · 11-25-2007, 10:31 AM

Dual > single

cmschlatt · 11-25-2007, 12:21 PM

im going dual so dont worry. picked up a gt rear bumper from 88GT just a couple days ago

im thinking im going to try no cats and with cats to figure out which i like better... providing i can find someone who knows what theyre doing to help me

cmschlatt · 11-26-2007, 03:15 PM

Your car is an 05 so what good is an 88gt take off bumper to you???

As for the over axle pipe have it made at the exhaust shop would be my suggestion
