how much did it cost you to set up a dual exhaust system for your V6? and will the pypes offroad x-pipe fit the 05 V6?

 

I paid $200 for GT take off mufflers and a GT H-pipe installed.

 

Ford mustang gt hpipe, mustang gt midpipe for drivers side, clamps, and mounts, and flowmaster super40 axle backs for about $500. Looks exactly like a gt underneath, and remains easy to remove if i ever need to. Most aftermarket jobs are 1 pieces from the headers to the mufflers (even seen those welded) which makes removal a *****, like when u gotta install headers.

 

Completely agree No welding on mine, Looks like a stock GT underneath

 

there has to be welding lol, or else you got tons of exhaust leaks. For $200 its probably just the standard job, i really doubt he made 4 seperate mandrel bent pipes, ford exhaust hangers, and those ridiculously expensive exhaust clamps ($30 somin each x 2)

 

See sig for exhaust mods, everything's welded 100%, total cost right at 400.

 

My set up was right around $200. This includes GT Mufflers, GT Midpipe, Ford hangers and labor. Be sure to use the GT midpipe as it is stainless steel and already has the correct mandrel bend. The ford hangers make it an easy job. There was some welding for the H. If you use this method, everything will fit and line up correctly.

 

racer, that looks pretty good. Where they made the Hpipe, those pipes dont look mandrel bent, the actually almost look kinked. Is it the lighting or what

 

$300 for mine.

I bought a used GT h-pipe, mufflers, and a new leftside midpipe and hangers. Then had a shop do the install.

The GT h-pipe is 2.5in diameter, while the V6 h-pipe is 2.25in.

If the shop cuts the two h-pipes in the right place they will slip together and sit in the factory hanger on your V6.

I think this is the best way to go, all oem parts, if you want different mufflers they are an easy install.

 

well I have a a stock GT exhaust available everything except the headers. I deffinetly recommend welding as I had a few small leaks from the factory.

PM or Email me if intrested.

 

The mandrel bend I referred to was in the GT midpipe where the mandrel bend slips over the rear wheelwell. The portion, including the H from the header flange to the midpipes is all custom.that portion was formed but not on a mandrel. As a consequence it's a sharper bend. Does it affect the overall scavenging? I have not a clue. All I know is that it sounds good and gets the job done and that's good enough for me. I haven't looked under a GT - do you know if the front H section is mandrel bent?

 

I have a GT h-pipe that was welded to my stock cats, I also had the drivers side mid pipe and all of the hangers included. It was a great deal on the parts alone.

 

ok petah, thats what i was talkin bout, has to be some welding lol. Thats where i welded mine.

 

ya, i coulda saved $300 and gone with gt takeoff mufflers, but i love the way the 4" flows sound and fit the gt bumper

 

I wonder where i could buy a left gt mid pipe and an H-pipe.
