Stock 2008 Mustang V6 exhaust vs. Single GT Takeoff exhaust

[FORDboy357]

Thumbs up for not revving it to 5k like a ricer.

[nivragni]

is the GT muffler better than flowmaster 50series?

[aboyandastang]

@nivragni

I can't say for sure. I'lve heard some flowmasters on mustangs and they have a higher sound than this does, and louder as well. Better? Well that depends on what you prefer.

Hi aboyandastang, I was wanting to do this for my Mustang, but I have a few quick questions for you. Does the direct swap require any welding, and do you notice any dropoff in gas mileage? Thank you.

[jehromee]

gotta give you huge props on this vid! it was great help!

but i still have a question... since almost all of my driving is done on the freeway/highway i'm really concerned about drone...

im pretty sure it is but... is this exhaust, for the most part, drone-free?

thanks for the help!

[aboyandastang]

Glad it helped! I dont't have the single gt takeoff anymore (went with the frpp kit now), but I dont remember any drone at higher speeds. It always sounded nice on acceleration and really quieted down, almost to stock exhaust level, when driving at a constant speed.

@jehromee if you are talking about the stock exhaust there is no drone at all. all you hear is the wind and road.

you think i can get a take off from a gt from a junk yard?

[aboyandastang]

possibly, couldn't hurt to look.  They run about 50$ on ebay too.

[nsspartan77]

alright, i found one on ebay, do you know the part # for your muffler? im looking at one with the part # 4R3Z-5230-RM but it doesn't specifically say GT muffler, just 4.6L v8 muffler

[aboyandastang]

as long as they come from a 2005 to 2008 mustang gt, the right side muffler will bolt right onto the 05-08 v6. I believe the actual part # is FR3-8000-05AA. If the ebay one your looking at is the galpin ford listing that one should work. email them and double check

[nsspartan77]

ya, its the galpin, i'm waiting on a reply from him, thanks for the help!

[GoCubbyz]

wow, I'm pretty impressed. I just got an 07 v6,and i'm looking for ways to make it louder without spending much money. I found a dual exhaust system with GT mufflers for 375, or maybe I might just add a GT muffler or single exhaust system. any suggestions?

[aboyandastang]

thanks! Dual exhaust doesnt really make it too much louder. I really liked the single GT takeoff, but a dual set for 375 is hard to beat! Can't go wrong either way! good luck

[megaman616]

man i really like the sound of the stock muffler but i would really like a more agressive sound and i have the same car.

[1qwk67]

Did it fit just like the old v6 muffler?

[aboyandastang]

yes, simple swap, old muffler has an extra bracket

[Markovich2]

How does it sound after it has warmed up? Can you still hear it?

[aboyandastang]

Ya you can, its sounds really nice at like 2-4K rpm, and when accelerating. :)

[sctlivewire]

[aboyandastang]

i got it off ninosport. check ebay they have better prices

[padresfan36]
