It's greek to me!

[pop's stang]

Guys and Gals,
This stuff is all greek to me. Saw this on another forum. A guy upgraded his 05 V6 stang with this exhausted. Is this something that I would want to do to mine? Don't have a clue what he is talking about. As you can tell, im not much of a car guy. :biglaugh:

True dual exhaust with GT take offs
BBK CAI
SCT Xcal2 with Bamachips 93 race tune

And if so what would be the cost? Advise is welcome.

[94svtcobra]

the bbk is the air intake, basic 1st bolt on most people do, gives you an extra 15 or so horse power, the sct is a tuner chip, and the exhaust is dual pipes instead of a single pipe, good mod to do, makes it sound meaner, and will add some horsepower

[94svtcobra]

also cost will depend on what you get/ quality etc. bbk is a decent company, prob a good product for the price, as far as exhaust price will depend again on the quality and what you want, shorties, mids, or long tube headers, what type of mid pipe and cat back

Like I said, its greek to me..what would i want? shorties, mids, or long tube headers? LOL

[Rodeheaver's]

If you are gonna do headers, the longtubes are the way to go..

[94svtcobra]

it all depends, dont really know what all is available for your model n year, but longtubes I believe will give you the most hp, but can have issuse with scraping so if it is a daily driver you may want to check before you decide. check out american muscle.com or just google your car then exhaust and look around just to see whats out there. also checl laurelmountainmustang.com they seem to have some of the best prices on parts.

I have the factory mufflers from my '07 GT with less than 400 miles on them if you're interested. They're the CS/ gt appearance package ones so they have the nice chrome rolled tips.

The guy down the street from me had the same ones on his '05 v6 and while it was definitely no v8 rumble, it sounded pretty impressive

[pop's stang]

Thank's for the info!

[pop's stang]

The guy i was talking about on the other fourm sent me this video of his upgrade. If I could get my car to sounds like this I would be happy!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhQmg0oatKc&feature=channel_page

He also said that he set his tuner to idle his car in park and drive at about 1000 RPMs instead of 750 or so cause it has a nicer rumble.

if you want it loud look into something like dynomax bullet mufflers or something like that,

Well, im not looking for over the top loud. I go to work very early and dont want to piss anyone off at 4am.:rofl:

[94svtcobra]

here is a decent clip, doesnt sound to bad to me? not sure if im crazy about the tips but you could find a better looking set to look go with your car...

[pop's stang]

I see what you mean, there is alot of axle back video on utube. they sounds great.

[Peej20]

What is a axle back system?

An axle back is pretty much what it sounds like; it's the part of your exhaust from the axle the rest of the way back, just like a cat back is from your catalytic converters back so they include the mufflers and whatever piping you need to get from the cat to the rear of the car. On the s197, the mufflers are right after the axle so you get the muffler, hangers, tips, and the necessary piping to line up with the over axle pipe.

[pop's stang]

Is that the way to go you think?

[94svtcobra]

if your not worried out performance, n you just want a inexpensive good sound, ya give it a try

[pop's stang]

Thank you everyone for your advise. I'm learning new things everyday. You all have given me something to think about.

[94svtcobra]

I like this one not street legal, n prob a lil too loud for ya, but something to look at

[94svtcobra]

they prob make em, mac is an exhaust company

[pop's stang]

I like this too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUsMm6U9Lno

[94svtcobra]

you could also look to see if a gt catback would fit on your car, n then switch the mufflers, so u could have the dual exhaust look

[laz2447]

Is that the way to go you think?

it is all depending on what you want to make your car, or your looking to get out of your car and its mods...

for a v6 daily driver, cold air intake, axle backs, a set of bullitts, and a 93 tune...your set! :goodidea: (thats what i would do lol)

but if your looking at doing some really serious mods one day, forget wasting your money now and wait it out...its up to you and what your plans are...:thumbsup:

[laz2447]

i also would consider a set of gears for your car as well...will really make a seat of your pants difference...

It is my daily driver..not looking for superchargers or turbos, just want a nice looking and sounding car. Plus a V6 Eleanor Grille and Fog light kit .

well you could ask 10 people, and get 10 different opinions...but for me...i would go that route...

the "just for looks" mods are entirely up to you and what you like, so do those as you see fit...but for alittle jolt in your seat you cant go wrong with those mods that i and others have suggested...dont rule out a set of gears either

good luck! :thmbsup: i know quite a few v6 owners i could put you in contact with if you would like...they all know exactlly what you would be looking for...

I would stop down & talk to him at his shop, not sure what mufflers he put on mine but I think he said not to use Flowmasters... The YouTube video was an "AXLE BACK" installation, single exhaust. My car already had 2 (dual) cats so I went with a "CAT BACK" installation, dual exhaust.

I talked to Alex today, Monkey Bar this Wednesday night? Alex said he is trying to talk Erica into coming down. I can probably swing by for a visit after I am done helping my son with his Senior project. I'll be down UPMC and guessing I will be done around 7:00 down there so I could be there around 8:00ish if you guys are going, but I am not staying late! I am not off on Thursday like you and also I am an old man! Let me know if you are going and coordinate with Alex and Erica.
