Exhaust that doesn't sound like crap?

blackstang04 · 01-03-2007, 08:57 AM

My brother is getting an 07 V6 soon, and is going to want to put dual exhaust on it. I was going to wait until he joined he to post and ask but I figured I'd get a jump on it.

A local friend of ours has a yellow 06 with a Y-pipe kit that splits into dual flowmasters. Needless to say, it sounds like a Civic. No joke.

I've heard soundclips of Magnaflows that I found when I searched through here and didn't care for the sound either.

So anyone with an '05+ with duals, PLEASE post sound clips, opinions, and details on your setups please. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link... anyone else?

blackstang04 · 01-03-2007, 08:27 PM

We just ordered the car today! I made a teaser thread in the body kits section.

From what I've heard I would go with Mac or Flowmaster.

Unless he's getting a mid-pipe it will sound ricey with almost any muffler if it's just an axle back.

Heres a small vid of my car with the windows up and a Ford Racing axle back muffler, made by Borla.

personnaly i f ing love mac they sound mean as heck on v6's imo
MAC ftw

Flyboy 06 · 01-06-2007, 08:19 PM

I had a single MAC, went to dual magnaflows. The magnaflows sounded like crap until I got the car dyno tuned with an intake and pulley, now they sounds great. I also have baffled tips which I dont like too much. The MAC sounded ok at lower RPMs, but got ricey in the upper RPMs. I will see if I can find the video I made when I had my MAC on, its on streetfire.

Flyboy 06 · 01-06-2007, 08:22 PM

couldnt find my car, but here is another with a MAC

Mine doesn't.

And Flyboy, that MAC setup you posted sounds sick!! Is that a "true" dual setup, or does it still use the y-pipe?

Not all of them do. I don't like the sound of 4.0's though, they sound too tinny/hollow. It's probaly the OHC's.

Eric Valdez's car (autobadges) sounds the best ever.

blackstang04 · 01-08-2007, 05:38 PM

Hmm... new option.

We found a site that sells a NEW painted OEM GT rear bumper, GT take-off mufflers, and the stock tips that come on GTs... for get this, $200!!

Anyone that has sound clips of this setup, please post them!

If he could buy this setup for $250ish once you count shipping, we'd install the bumper ourselves, and have a shop weld up the extra pipe and the mufflers.

That's if it sounds okay lol.

Who cares what it sounds like? Just the painted bumper is worth 200 bucks. lol

Besides you can always weld in any mufflers of your choice. Thats where 90% of your sound is from anyway.

Well from the past year and a half I can tell you that magna flow don't really justify the 4.0L, duals or not. I think they sound like rice in my opinion on the 4.0's. I would go with the Flowmaster American Thunders. 40 series I believe, not sure thought. I do know the mufflers are black. Or JBA, thats what I have on my car and they are not to loud and are very presentable. Also no exhaust drone eather

Those are the only ones I think are decent. MRT mufflers sound ok too, little to raspy for me though. Check out some sound clips on other forums.

Bumping a really old thread here. Forgot about it, and my brother asked me the other day if anyone else had replied.

Thanks for the info! We're seriously leaning towards the 40 series as that's what I have on my car and we love them. I'm just hoping we can get the exhaust shop to cut out a mini hole for the drivers side exhaust tip, as my parents dont want to start changing bumpers on a brand new car with 40 miles on the clock.

The clip that Mustangpython supplied was a very good sound clip and is about as good as your going to go without swapping the cams. If you want more rumble then you need to go with a more agressive set of cams if the exhaust just isnt doing it for you.

Because this is a 60 degree block you should concider looking at 1990-1996 (90-01 Japan) stock exhaust and Pacesetter exhaust for the Z. Though that sound clip sounded just like my wifes Z and she has a catback with pacesetter mufflers. Thats about as good as its going to go. The pacesetter Z mufflers have dual tipped 2.5" mufflers (Stock was 2" dual tipped.) I should also mention that the tips come from a single 2.5" centerport that Y's out, not like the Series40 Dual series.

The Z has several resonators through the exhaust to help tone down the high pitches and bring out the low rumble, it sounds more agressive, remove those resonators and you start to sound like a honda. The best thing to do is try not to go too big in this case, not to flow too much, it will start to sound ricey.

Im not saying buy Z exhaust, its just a platform to look at for a great sound with good idle lope. If I were you I would get the components to that sound clip and get bigger cams, your brother and you should be very happy with that setup.

PS. This sounds bad in here I know, but with the extra money you will spend in exhaust and cams and a tuner for that combo you could just spring for the GT. Not trying to step on toes here, just saying if the sound is really important to you then the V8 sound cant be beat.

Thanks NeoTokyo, Im glad you like my clip, even though the vid is upside down and taken from a camera phone. (clipped camera phone to sun visor). I like the way it sounds, It got a little deeper in tone when I put my CAI on. I dont know why but it did.

That is seriously the best one ive heard.

But one thing needs to be addressed tho: Are all six cylinders firing or is that the clip where one of them wasnt?

Red_Stang_02 · 05-14-2007, 07:02 AM

Yeah, this thread has been around a while, but some of us are just getting started with the 4.0 Stangs (or at least soon to get started - so sorry to highjack) ....I'm getting ready to get a new stang soon and will prob go with a V6 because I'll have a 50 mile drive to work and a completely loaded V6 is still a couple of thou less than a stripped GT. I'm thinking I dont want to cut up the exhaust and change the reaer bumper on a brand new car... I've seen performance mufflers for sale and am thinking of going that route. There's a few I've seen - loadmouth, mac, magnaflow - but they all say they sound the best - LOL. If I could get it to sound like my 02, I'd be really happy. The 02 has the stock Y-pipe with a Magnaflow dual cat-back. Anybody have any thoughs, experience, advice??
