Thinking about going with this ... http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=BA56+01 and running a 2 inch pipe out the back .... any suggession on a muffler that would sound good on a 250 6-banger? By the looks of it some of the bolts seem impossible to get to for installation ...
Go for it. A header will work great. A long semi-quiet muffler will sound best with a sixbanger, IMO. Your next project can be to put a Holly 5200 carb on there. BTW, your private message quota has been exceeded.
DM, ask the six guys but if you run a split header and duals all the way back you will get more of a rumble/V8 sound and less of the buzz saw sound, I think! Check into Clifford and FSPP.
The sound isn't all that important as long as it doesn't sound like lawn mower.... If I stick with the single outlet header I have $100 on the header and another $150 or so on the second muffler and second exhaust run ... I don't want to blow my entire XMAS bonus!
Go for it Dan, I will be buying that exact header for the Falcon. Gonna run a straight pipe all the way to the back with a cherry bomb.
Any thing that frees up HP is a good Upgrade IMO. If you do it take plenty of pics and maybe do a tech article on it. That would be cool for future wanna be header installers on the Super Six enigine.
dan, look at the hole the ..air.. goes in appx. 1.75". now look at the header collector appx. 3". without a lot of head and intake work it will just be for looks. the motor in terrys car has a little work done to it...cam..pistons...head ported a little. i was setting it up for a 2 bbl. carb...frank...
Isn't this an oxymoron??? My white 1974 had a turbo muffler on it when I bought it. With the factory exhaust manifold......it sounded like a lawnmower and was very obnoxious driving it 300 to 400 miles to Norwalk, Ohio and Somerset Kentucky. I vote: NO
I'd go with a "Blue-Streak Bullet" muffler...they are definetly quieter than the "Big Daddies"....paint a strip down the length of the exhaust pipe,run the engine for approximately 15 minutes, look for the hot spot, place the muffler there.....You now have a tuned exhaust system
I had a muffler on one of my six cyl mavs. It was in the stock location. It was called a turbo pack. It looked like a glasspack but had insides like a turbo muffler and a tolerable sound .
