Default Thinking about buying a new exhaust system for my 3.8 Bird

What do I have to change?

I'm planning on buying this system:

Do I have to change headers? What about the catalytic converter?

Save your money. A v6 with aftermarket exhaust doesn't sound good.

I'm going with your advice. Thank you. What about an exhaust system for a Fox Body 5.0?

What about a 5.0 exhaust?

Would that be good to buy one for it (the stang)?

the 'stang... can't go wrong with an x-pipe and some good 'ole flowmasters


for the V6, we had a V6 SS clone in the shop a few weeks ago - had a CAI, shorty headers, high flow cat, and SLP Loudmouth exhaust... didnt sound too terrible... still had the "pissed off bumble bee trapped in a coffee can" sound but much deeper and throatier
