Newport Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Ok, i have been saving up a little for my car. The exaust header for the front 3 cylinders has a small hole in it which is enough for it to start to sound like a tin can exaust at mid-high range rpm... I am gonna replace the headers and i am also looking for a new muffler. I am NOT going for the ricer sound (pissed off weed whacker sound lol). Instead, i am looking for a nice low rumble, with decent interior sound... enough so i can hear what shes puttin out but i dont want to get annoyed whiel driving down the highway @ 1900 rpms either... My engine is a Ford 3.8l V6 from a second Gen. Taurus. I was looking at the flowmaster 40 series. I found a website that specializes in upgrading the NON SHO Tauruses (tauri? lol) and i have found that many people love the 40 series. Some have said the 50s are too loud in the interrior. What are some good models i could look at for a muffler? Also, later down the road, i will also bee upgrading the intake. I dont want a turbo (has been done on thi engine) or anything that drastic, just enough to feel an improvement in HP, torque, and a raise in fuel economy. What are some not necessarily cheap, but good upgrades for a v6? If you all need any more info, please ask for it. I aim to please, so could you aim too please? hehe EDIT: here is the site i look at for ideas http://green.lucidgreen.com/taurus/ourcars.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 i believe the flowmaster 40 would be ok...i know a guy who has one on his car and it sounds pretty sweet...and that 3.8l would probably sound even nicer. edit: i just remembered that an arospeed would sound good too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Even with the stock exhaust, i can really hear it humm when i am accelerating onto a highway or with a full throttle start. I do know that that engine has a crap load of potential (only has 83k miles on it 1992 model) and i know i could really bring its potential out with a nice intake/exhaust. Just too many choices and for an unexperienced person like me, its kinda confusing. Even though it is considered a grandma's car, its got great handleing and performance for what it is... I am gonna be stuck with it for a while so i might as well fix it up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
