How do i find out which size i need for my Car? I found whats written below on this website for upgrade a 3.8L. I have a 2002 Stang 3.8L V6 and of course, i want to upgrade to dual exhaust. i dont know which i should get 2.25 or 2.5. Help, please?


Dual Exhaust (2.25" for Naturally Aspirated Cars and 2.5" for Blown Cars and some big NA strokers)

2.25" on a V-6 Application ... 2.50" will be overkill on the back pressure

Cool. Thanks alot. If you could answer another ?, I'd be grateful. Ive been looking online for a supercharger for my car, and i have only been seeing them for 4.6L s. So i guess my question is, do they make them for 3.8ls? and where can i find one?

A friend of mine suggested that i have my Exhaust done by a muffler shop, custom made, for better fitting. i was thinking about doing that. What do you suggest?

That what I did on my 97 V6. 2 1/4 inch pipes, FlowMaster 2 chamber mufflers, Chrome tips. Make sure they cut the Y pipe. I don't have an H pipe, as they said it was not necessary on a V6. Opinions vary on this.
I bought the right side GT exhaust hangers from Ford and the shop welded them on.

Vortech makes a supercharer for the V6.
