Borla S-types & Custom H-pipe

So I got my Borla S-Types axle-backs installed and decided to forgo the MRT H pipe I was going to get and have my exhaust guy fab up a H-pipe for me and redo the over the axle pipes as the stock pipes have some flat spots I wanted to get rid of (see pic below) and I gotta tell ya, best **** decision yet! I LOVE THE SOUND of my 'stang now!

The setup: BBK shorty headers, Custom H-pipe w/ stock cats & resonators, custom over the axle-pipes and Borla S-type axle-backs

Sounds great. I love Borla's tips. They look so good from behind. The body shop that is fixing my car is also putting on their Touring A/B since they have it. Can't wait.

Great choice I used black high temp paint to black out my Borla's Tips. Got tired of driving by store fronts and always seeing the chrome tip sticking out the back, it was like a eye magnet. Not anymore but very nice choice

What is going on with the one pipe in this picture? Did it get run over?

Thanks! I'm going to get better vids and a drive by video hopefully sometime this week.

It come from the factory like this. All 3.7s have this long flat spot in one of the pipes. Ridiculous! Which is why I had my exhaust guy get rid of it.

Anthony,

Did you retain stock diameter piping with the custom H pipe?

If you don't mind me asking, around how much did all that custom work cost? The trusted exhaust shop in my area told me it would be cheaper to buy a pre-fab H pipe than to have them make one. I think he just didn't want to mess with it, I've gotta believe an exhaust shop can fab an H pipe for 250-300 bucks.

My shop did a full catback in 2.5" for me for $200. Minus the mufflers of course. This was for my old V6. He said I could add a H-pipe if I wanted, for no charge since it would've been at the time of everything else. I believe the double wall stainless 4" tips were $75 extra.

Yes its stock diameter 2.25". It cost me $235 total for everything. Take out the old, fab and put in the new. I wouldn't think it would cost more than $300. I looked around for awhile before I found the guy I've been going to for the past couple years.

Yep couldn't be happier. Don't think I'll be changing it again. The cat-back will sound amazing on your 5.0.

This set up does sounds great! But I have to ask why didnt you go with a 2.5 in piping. Wouldnt you get better exhaust flow without loosing TQ?

THANKS! That says a lot coming from a 5.0 owner. While I know my six will not sound like a nice setup on a V8, I love the way it sounds for a v6 and won't be changing a thing. More vids to come soon!!

I thought the wrong clip loaded and it was a v8, man that sounds gorgeous! I was originally planning a roush exhaust with resonators welded in with electronic cutouts.

Now. I. Must. Haz. This!
Got any ither vids of it?

See, I'd say it sounds different than a 5.0 but regardless, it's darn nice. Congrats!
