Exhaust for a V6 4.0 2 Door X

[RvExplorerRV]

I have a 2000 explorer sport and i would really like to put a exhuast system on it. I have heard people talking about the pros and cons of flows. If any one has some good ideas please tell me. I want a nice dual exhaust and i want it to sound good. I don't really care if does anything to my performance.

Leave some ideas.

Yup, true duals on a V6

I even just completely redid mine and stuck with a single pipe setup. A V6 doesn't produce exhaust pulses like a V8 and they don't lend themselves well to a dual setup. Besides the fact that you have to maintain a certain backpressure in a n/a (naturally aspirated) application.

Now I have the JBA headers to a 3" collector, 3" hiflow cat, 3" resonator, 3" Magnaflow turbo muffler, 3" resonator, 2.5" tailpipe.

I recommend 2.5 or 3" until the muffler, a 2.5" muffler, and 2.25" tailpipe for a n/a OHV. The same, but maybe with a 2.5" tailpipe for the SOHC. If you do go dual on a V6, do it from a dual outlet muffler through 1.75" tailpipes, but you'll probably hinder low end torque a bit and it will be a bit louder than a comparable single setup.


RVX:
Get a dual out Flowmaster muffler and have the pipes run. 1.75 or 2".

Alec,
Is it worth getting dual exhaust (catback) for OHV engines?

Thanks.
