There's a little link you can click on next to "New Posts" that says "Search"

instead of sending you off searching ill give you some advice

i had good luck buying an X-Pipe from americanmuscle.com
bought take-ff GT pipes from a member on here
and i went with 2 Flowmaster 40 series mufflers.

it sounds great!

/\ but you still have a 4.0L V6......

A 4.6L 3V V8, the transmission, the Ecu, the Pcm, A/C lines, Brakes and suspension would be a plus, GT gauge cluster, all the hoses and connectors

Get a donor car and do the swap its easier.

point being???? this is a post about making the best out of a V6 exhaust system.

No its not, its about putting a v8 motor in. Re-read the OP.

wow...did i read that wrong lol
my bad man, in that case
continue! lol

Lots of good swaps on mustangcollective.com, 4.6L section.

I know u don't want to hear it... Go get a GT. U will have a lot mor fun than hunting down parts and pulling ur hair out trying toget it all to work right, and probably spend less money... Sorry for rhe truth...

Yeah parts acquisition is a big challenge.
But me and macman and other helpers did his v6 to v8 swap this past weekend. The successful results are well worth the efforts!
